What if ……

I was traveling by train recently and the compartment I was seated in was occupied by an Indian couple and a Japanese family3. [Parents and a young girl of say around 10]. The Indian’s smiled and made nice friendly gestures and so did the Japanese  

What I noticed was that the young Japanese girl was wrestles and wanted to ask the Indians questions. So she started off in Japanese and the Indian lady in English, both looked puzzled for a while and I really don’t know what happen but they started using sign language, visuals and well gestures and got their messages across.  

After traveling for 6 hours they parted with each others address and telephone number. I was really amazed at what I had witnessed. Like in most cases people would juts smile and go there separate ways [not talk at all]. Here the Japanese family let their kid change seats and constantly ask the Indian lady what certain things were [ by pointing at them ].  

In short I like what I saw.  

It left me wondering what would happen if all of us spoke the same language.

Think about it !! Just think
