Interesting Synchroncity

I wrote the standing ovation this morning. After I finished and checked my email, an ex-colleague wrote to me. It is such a coincident that this ex-colleague is from the same company that I received my standing ovation. The thoughts come to me while I was showering. So I penned them down in my blog. Immediately someone from the same company wrote to me. Why? Is this a coincidence? Can there be a linkage in thoughts(telepathy)?
