Yesterday, while I was standing on the railway platform waiting for my train to arrive, I saw a bunch of school going kids. There was something peculiar about them that grabbed my attention. The blue and white coloured checked uniform wearing kids seemed different from the crowd.
They were doing some handsigns (No, they weren't the obscene handsigns). The kids were deaf and dumb. The handsigns were a way for them to communicate with each other. In between the handsigns, they all laughed whole-heartedly. Must be sharing a common joke.
I got so engrossed in their silent conversation that I could not hear the noises on the platform. I was magically taken to their world. I tried to talk to them in my language but somehow I could not. At that time I was standing with them as a deaf and dumb person who could not hear, speak or understand their language.
Whatever it may be for me, but these kids have their own world where 'Silence is the Sound'.
