Conversations can be so much more...

Conversations fly by as time flies, have we stopped and wondered how much we take from those discussions..I like the fact that when you meet someone, you tend to gain so much from them..It's the learning you take back with you while adding value to your existing persona...I often get told off by my dad for talking too much and listening less (he does the same btw and insists that I am a poor listener, phew dad's I tell you), I have now made a conscious effort of listening and becoming worldly wise. I am not saying that all conversations can be interesting (oh believe me some have made me wanna pull my hair out), but you can pick up a few things here and there and carry them with you to the next conversation, even the ones that make you wanna bang your head against the wall..

 Conv a + Conv b= Conv abc (pardon my algebraic expression, I suck at science or maths was it? :p)

Coffee has become famous and is synonymous with conversations, probably as a tête-à-tête starter or to yank a painfully boring one.. Also it helps ignore the occasional silences that pop up while you enjoy a cuppa or two. No thanks to technology, conversations seem to be getting shorter and physical reactions are now replaced with bald smileys who are undoubtedly cute but not an expression of how one really feels... The traditional way is so much better and whoever actually knew if the  'lol' or 'lmao' was real or fake..?? As if text-ing wasn't enough, now we have to learn to converse with a machine and leave voice messages...

Machine- Hi, this is xyz, leave me a message and i'll call you back.

Me- "My life's a big mess and I think I'm gonna blah blah blah.. so what do you think..... ermmmmm, call me back...No meet me, or whatever...arghghghgh"

What happened to the good ol, 'it's been long, lets meet, I havta tell you about la la lal la..'... and then you actually meet and have those defaming conversations and pull the entire universe down with you ;) So my humble advise to all my friends and acquaintances, go meet people, indulge in meaningless conversations, have fun and lighten your mood which was fried by your boss of whoever...Just have a Conversation for petesake...and call or meet me cos I'm so bored that I actually wrote a blog on how wonderful conversations are, for lack of having had one lately..
