There was a theory that between any two people on this earth there are only
"6 degrees of seperation" meaning that the average number of aquaintances seperating any two people was 6.
I am writing "WAS" because this seems to have changed now.
Thanks to Facebook and its so many users this has come down to 4.74.
Just imagine ... any famous personality like Amitabh Bachchan or Sachin Tendulkar or Roger Federer or Angelina Jolie. According to this, a friend of their friend would be the friend of one our friends ... This sounds so incredible.
It is so unimaginable to think that we are no more strangers to anyone. That we could go to any person X and introduce ourselves. "Hello, our friends are friends ! So nice to meet you !"
Still, it will make no difference to our lives, I guess. Mainly because I don't know how easy it is to make use of this theory. And why should we anyways ?
We are destined to meet some people and they will become our friends.
Others will remain far away ... like stars ... even though only 4.74 persons away.
