A Photo Without A Camera

As I was traveling home on the bus this afternoon, three students from the technical university came in and sat on the seats across the aisle from me.

One student took out her cell phone even before the bus doors closed, and started that maniacal SMS thumb dance on the cell phone keypad. The student next to her, spent some time circling through his 80-GB-up-to-20,000-songs-and-20-hours-playtime iPod to find the right song to fit his mood. The last student, a Ghanaian exchange student*, quietly took out his wooden bead rosary and slowly, methodically, unobtrusively prayed through the bus trip.

Oh, what a wonderful picture it was!

* I happen to know the exchange program he is involved in.

  1. Yes, wonderful picture. In fact I was expecting the last one to just sit there and do nothing...
