People can widely be categorized into different groups depending on their influence in your lives:
Some people are extremely essential for a happy existence. They are enrichment to your souls and refreshment to your mind and deprivation of their company or their presence in ur life for a period of time ( the duration, depending on ur tolerance level!), once you have known one of this kind could be devastating. You could feel the moss getting deposted on ur soul.
Here is where you see sharing of thoughts much more than sharing of daily events. You might go without knowing where exactly he is but never miss to find out how exactly he feels.
Such people come to your life not very often, and their words and moments with them are worth treasuring either for the sheer quality of the person or for the very happy times you have had together, the happiness which would have nourished you much more than a "chicken soup" could have done to the souls.. This is the kind with whom you would feel the existence of a bond strong enough to be sustained even if you don’t see/ talk very often.
Though you can not deny His strings in the matters of the mind, a relationship of this kind can always be thought upon as a matter of choice, where you flock together purely by choice.
There are some people whom you get used to, like a habit. You get so used to sharing your daily lives that you reach a point where you feel his void if he is not around. You would want to talk to him on a regular basis, so religiously like your looking for saunf after a heavy lunch. You know you could very well do without him but not quite do so, owing to your habit.
Some people go around with you for mere company. You don’t mind his company, once in a while go even to the extents of liking it but not quite so much to even cast a thought about him in your free time when you are alone. You might go around together for the fact that you somehow got together by the games played from Above and yielding to it, acting a part in His huge drama of destiny, you stick together rather than being alone.
Then there are these kind of people who are great threats to your pleasant countenance. They could be pests, eating your soul and thriving on you. They could be predators looking out for company and jumping at it, the first opportunity they get a glance of it.I'd stay away from them. They could really dwell on you and your patience and enrich themselves by satisfying their hunger for another human presence in their lives , they are gluttons, feed them and they eat howmuchever you give, grow so wide and huge , enough to obscure your visions and flow of thoughts. They are the kind who can’t tolerate their company themselves, so look for others to inflict it on( so says my friend,apparently after a thorough obseravtion of ppl of this kind). You would love your own company much more than theirs. I would rather be alone, left to my thoughts, even for a long time than be with them even afor a short while.
There could be many many more kinds on which I might be able to give my comments, I shall update as and when I can think about one and let this post grow as I grow wiser.
Well, these categories are all relative and somebody who is "soul enriching" for me could be just a “habit” for you. Though there are less chances that a soul enriching person to me can be a pest to you, the chances of such a thing happening cannot be overlooked as the human mind is so differently designed that the habitat inside each could be so different.
There could be many many categories, come to think of it, but then I might have to sit and write about each and every single person in this world which could be quite a trouble for me as much as it would be for you to read.
But there is something which is common to all these different knds of ppl . Whatever kind they are, they are sure to leave a void, a hole( like the Miss Mitten shaped hole felt by Estha and Rahel) , if they leave you after coming into your life, or shift their existence from one group to another wrt your state of mind at that point of time (The change would have been in you or in him or in both) . You see it as a bright hole or a dark one is upto you but the absence of each kind will be felt, with varying intensity depending on what and how much they mean to you, at some point or the other or always, if they ever happened to cross your path and meet you at least long enough for you to classify them to these groups.

Just thought of another kind of ppl..Those whose opinions matter the most to you..With them you would feel intellectually equal and can have long discussions and arguments which could give the impression to the spectators that they could be fighting. But the fact is that each person, howmuchever different their perspectives are, respect the other's view and is ready to give it a try to see it the other way. Irrespective of what the listeners think they fight their way to a conclusion, if any, or otherwise, nourish themselves with the new perspective they were introduced to, by the other. They are the best to talk to and spend time and with time, you become aware of a strong bond which is unshakeable, inspite of all differences. These kind could very well be a subset of the first category.

Man, this has left me thinking and the consequence of having started wrting this blog has been a lesser attention to my work, thereafter.. I thought I could have the code built while I am writing and thereafter forget about it or keep it running as a background process, and set off with this little piece of a post, but little did I know that this one was going to capture my full attention and was going to strive with all its might to come out of the background and perform. So I was interrupted by these thoughts while I was trying to continue my work after the break I took to put up this post..
And then there are these kinds of people who are really nice and whom you respect really lots but not too nterested to go near or not had a chnace to. They could pose a slight danger of boredom in that they could be a lil too nice and too perfect and so not compatible enough to you in that respect.
And then of course, there are peolpe who are a lil of all or some of all the above categories..
