Impressions!

She never thought she would end up chatting with him let alone sob when he was leaving for his masters. Got her thinking about their first meeting. He was working at the music group she had just joined. He kept to himself unlike the others. She had always been a silent observer in new surroundings and among new people. They exchanged words only when they had to work and so things went on in the beginning. Eventually during the course of their work she befriended him, and he was nothing like his first impression.
            He was chatty, funny interesting though his first impression was somehow exactly opposite.  He was also surprised at how different she was as opposed to her impression.. They became very good friends over a period of time 
            It is said that first impression is the last impression. But in today’s world, where the only static thing is change, everything keeps on changing with a blink of an eye. And people are no exception to that rule! Hence the saying ‘First impression is the last impression’ does little justice. First impressions are sometimes mere illusions/perceptions we make in our mind and often are not true.
            It's a very general observation that people who are now very close to us were the ones who did not make a very good first impression. First impressions can be deceptive.
            After long years of friendship it does not matter what you thought of a person in the beginning.
            Makes us wonder how this works, because often people we trust and believe to be our friends in need, leave us on our own in those very times! Sad but true! 
Often people whom we had prejudices about, lend us a helping hand in the times of need. Weird.. Right?
