Playing with Shells, by Shahnaz Parvin

My first time tour to Saint Martin was a thrilling experience for me. Next morning after I reached this beautiful Island, I was walking by the shore, and saw these two little girls. They were playing with the sand in the shells. I tried to become their friend, and in return they offered me everything they were playing with. There I lost count of my time, my location, my age, and became one of them, their playing partner. If you ever travel to Bangladesh, I believe you will encounter the same. Here the people have this special bonding, an ability to make the stranger as their own.
