M is a dear friend and LLM student in london. we met a couple of years ago in shanghai and have stayed in touch since, not realising that we'd both be in london at the same time at some point. i love these chance meetings that turn into something bigger. people argue that friendships are circumstantial and most times we're in touch with acquaintances who are conveniently located nearby. but i'm fortunate to have a couple of friends close by, and many more oceans away. thank goodness for whatsapp! and aren't low-maintenance friendships the best? i've a lovely friend, R, who on her own admission writes 200-300 christmas cards every year, and has for the last decade of so! now that is dedication and i'm so flattered to have found a place on her ever-growing christmas list. while i'm guilty of not being the most organised of correspondents but know that when we do meet up, we pick up from where we left off, wherever that may have been.
