In my post dated 18th, I had mentioned about the common belief that there are six people who like alike. This reminds of two interesting incidents.
When I was working in Southern Africa in the late '80s, I used to spend my weekends with friends. One such friend was a Sikh colleague with whom I used to go to a nearby Gurdwara. Once I happened to see a woman who resembled a woman by name K L Sujatha. Out of curiosity, I went near the woman and realised that she was not K L Sujatha.
In 1993, nearly a year after my return from Southern Africa, I was offered a job in a school in Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh. During my my first few days, I used to have visitors who simply wanted to see me with no serious intention. When I asked about this to my PA, he told me that these people heard that the newly recruited principal looked like Mohan Gokhale (a popular Marathi film actor at that time) and hence they simply liked to quench their thirst of curiosity by having a look at me.
