It gets lonely sometimes, friends are busy sorting their own lives and so one is unable to hangout or do things together as often as one would wish.
I found a guy who solved that problem.
He walked into the Starbucks cafe, found a table, pulled out his chess board and set the pieces in place. Obviously I got curious. He leaned back and listened to music streaming from his head phones.
A man who had just bought his cup of coffee donned the most curious smile, before I knew it they were engaged in a game of chess. He left.

The next moment a girl took the seat and was making her moves. They barely talked, they just played. Strangers drawn by a game of mutual interest.
I'm reminded of "Queen of Katwe" and how Phiona Mutesi's interest in Chess opened the door to her dreams of becoming a grand master some day. smile emoticon.
