Joining the dots.......

In our day to day interactions with people, seldom do we come across individuals who can think ahead of all the possible actions/reactions associated with an engaging dialogue. A small conversation on any topic with anyone can lead to a chain interaction - either on the professional or personal front. I have noticed that this aspect has an uncanny relationship with people who have elephantine memory. Whenever you meet or interact with such individuals you can clearly notice the background process working overtime in their minds. It might not seem so obvious but the way they start joining the dots both in the past and the future is simply amazing.
