The Curious Case of SJ

One week into the new WhatsApp group and it seems some things haven't changed, in all these years. 

Among these 27 women, there are about 5-6 who had a lot of fun as a group in the college days. This group includes Pal, my then-roommate. One of them, SJ, s out of the network now. Whenever her name comes up, the standard remarks are, "Nobody knows where she is" or "SJ has just vanished from the face of the earth!". It was surprising for a popular person like SJ to go missing like that so I looked for her on LinkedIn. And there was her profile,  matching in name and our college. But it also said that after her MS in US, she went on to do Islamic Studies and she seems to be now teaching that too. I told Pal that she was on LinkedIn but she didn't seem very surprised or excited. So now I wonder which one of them happened - her old friends got spooked by what they saw in her profile or they tried but she didn't want to get back in touch.
