Linguistic barrier (II)

In India it's quite common that some people approach foreigners with curiosity and hold their hands, ask them for their name and country, and even sometimes they want to take some photographs, especially if the foreigner is a young blonde girl. Sometimes this is nice but other times so many greetings are boring and tedious. Yesterday, I had a very nice greeting. It happened while I was walking with a friend. A young guy approached us with a big smile and outstretching his arm greeted us telling us "no English!", just like a nice apology. The curiosity of Indians and the non verbal communication are stronger than any linguistic barrier.
