In reply to Kokila Gupta. Double like to this comment Kokila :). Wisdom comes when they are not judgmental or attached to the situation or the outcome :)

In reply to Auraofthoughts. He he.. Completely spot on mate. I think it is always easier to get a completely objective view from a stranger as opposed to a friend. When we are with friends, it becomes difficult to get a completely open view cos they do not want to hurt us and it might not be very easy not to take it personally. When it comes to strangers, since the expectations are very low, the outcome is a lot more bearable and easier too :)

Great post Vidya… Yes , for one they are not judgemental and second is – you get rare nuggets of wisdom (as wisdom comes even to the plainest and the commonest when they are not judgemental or emotionally attached to a situation )Loved it :)

The best part talking to strangers is that they are not judgemental, and even if they are who is bothered :)

In reply to Sindhoooo.

I am completely with you on this Sindhoo. Even I have observed this whenever I go to the rural regions, people are so friendly, chatty and warm. And most times they really insist you visit their home to have dinner or lunch with them.

Aah, that sounds like an amazing experience. Thanks so much for sharing it here Sindhoo :)

I think the last time I faced something like this was when I was coming back from Delhi, a 2 day train journey. The whole compartment was so friendly that we ended up sharing more than a journey together. So many memories :)..

Wonderful post, Vidya :) Talking to strangers is very common in rural India but I am not confident to do the same in metropolitan cities like Bengaluru… But, recently, I felt good when a family from Kalburgi (Gulbarga) offered to adjust with me sharing half of a seat in a bus and conversed with me… Felt really strange when a lady seated in the back seat informed me about the empty seat by her side. Probably, she had noticed I was managing in the half seat. While talking to her, she informed about the frequency of buses in that route too! This incident has definitely given me confidence :)

In reply to Alok Vats. I agree Alok. I think it is fantastic talking to people, learning about them, knowing what inspires them and what keeps them going. It makes us feel so connected and sometimes makes us realize that there is so much of energy in the world we can embrace. It sure is a delightful feeling :).. You are more than good at it Alok, I remember the first time we spoke, it felt so much at ease and so comfortable :)
