Serendipity

This island was a new place to me. It had just been a few days since I landed here. People and their behaviour were totally different from my own people back in my mother land. For some reason they projected themselves as unfriendly or may be it was my interpretation about them. They hardly spoke. One of the most cleanest and advanced countries in the world has the most number of lost faces too. Either they are too engrossed with the modern day technology (also while on the run) or they are working day and night. Each of their silent, expressionless and exhausted faces were screaming for some fresh, soothing air and as I say, a "Me-Time." Yes. I could read their blank faces cause I too had a blank face.
