This is indeed something which has always been at the back of my mind!
How do strangers speak! …. Ok!
Let me phrase it this way… “How does one initiate a topic when they don’t know the other person?”
Yes… I understand we all know the definition of strangers and the above phrase was not to extrapolate that but to bring in an easier approach!
There was this incident which caught my eyes while traveling, 2 women (not sure if it happens only with woman) sitting beside, one with a kid, was discussing how naughty these days kids are and with all pride justifying that her son also falls in that category.
Their discussion went quite long that they forgot their station had arrived (Still, they got down just in time!)
How come?!!
I just wondered!
Even I travel along the same way everyday, but I don’t pick up a conversation with someone I don’t know and especially something personal!
We can’t talk on any other general topics (Avoiding small talk is always safer in public) for we don’t know the other’s likes and dislikes!
So? How do people?!
Or why is that I don’t speak?!
Is it that we’re apprehensive that the conversation might lead us to some kind of trouble?
Or that we’re educated and taught in our childhood “don’t speak with strangers!!”
Ehhh!!!
No idea!
When I was watching over this conversation, I could see some kind of comfort and like in their exchange! How come yaar!!! ??!
I dint ponder much on these thoughts then, but a smile was there on my face then J
So it is nice when we speak with someone new a day!
Or was it just because I was over hearing some talk ;)
Whatever it is, I’m still amused how strangers could speak so comfortably!
Someday “if” I experience something of this sort, hope I get an answer to this!
I’ll give a break now to this “strange” thought now!
