I don't know what it is about me but most people I meet for the first time tell me that have seen / met me earlier. Like today, I accompanied Sharo for her photo shoot, a male model there tells me, “Haven’t we met before?” No, it was not a pick-up line, he genuinely meant it. In reply, I say, “Wish I had met you before” :) *Eddie Murphish smile*
The other day at a restaurant, a guy (with a killer smile) exclaims (in hindi), “Aap yahan kaise? I thought you were in Cal”. Sorry! I haven't been to Calcutta in the last 16 years. He mistook me to be his friend's sis.
And then one morning at the gym, this lady comes up to me and asks, “Are you Deepali?" I say, "Not that I am aware of... I definitely remember my folks christening me S." The lady gave me some very suspicious looks like I was pretending not to be Deepali.
And yes how could I forget, a very very dear friend, has met not one but two women who look like me. Incidentally, one of the them even shares my name. According to my friend, she is "exactly" like me. Same ideas, same style of talking, same jumpy self etc.
Well, I couldn’t help wondering then, was I separated at birth? And how many times? I mean how many births?
