Small Story 42.Good Inter action.

Small Story 42 Good Interaction. Davidson boarded the flight, ready to depart for Dubai. As a photojournalist for a leading international magazine based in the U.S., he was excited about the journey ahead. He accepted a welcome drink and glanced at his neighbor, a charming woman in her mid-thirties. “Hi, I’m Radhika. I’m heading to Dubai for work at a bank,” she said with a warm smile. “Nice to meet you, Radhika. I’m Davidson,” he replied, feeling an instant connection. They struck up a conversation that flowed effortlessly, moving from the banking industry to photography, sharing stories and insights. Before long, they had exchanged business cards, promising to keep in touch. A few days later, Radhika discovered Davidson’s impressive profile on Facebook, showcasing his extensive connections and achievements. She sent him a friend request, and within minutes, he accepted. Not long after, Davidson messaged her with an invitation to a special function where the ruler of Dubai would be the chief guest. Excited, Radhika arrived at the Sheraton Hotel, where Davidson was waiting to greet her. After a brief chat, the event commenced. Davidson was introduced to the audience as an award-winning international photographer, receiving honors for his outstanding contributions to various magazines, including being named Time’s popular figure of the month. Radhika beamed with pride at her newfound acquaintance. After the dinner, Davidson drove Radhika home. “I’m leaving for the U.S. tomorrow,” he said. “It was truly memorable meeting you. I learned so much during our conversation.” “I enjoyed it too,” Radhika replied, touched. Davidson continued, “My wife, Catherine, is the Chief Executive of a leading bank. We share insights about our professions every night, and when you mentioned the banking sector, I was intrigued. My dad always taught me to share knowledge with like-minded people, and I’ve kept that lesson close for the past twelve years.” Radhika was delighted by his perspective and the warmth of their exchange. She gave him a hug as they reached her residence. “Safe travels, Davidson. Let’s stay in touch!” “Absolutely,” he said, smiling as he waved goodbye, both knowing that this was just the beginning of a wonderful friendship. K.Ragavan. 10-10-24.
