Ha ha Amruta you know how to have fun :)
I do the same these days. I can’t afford to miss the fun and can’t even think of getting bored so I better introduce myself.

No Sid. That was the experience which made me think about the need for introduction and after that when I faced situations like this I did introduce myself. My favourite way is this “I have heard a lot about you from my friend Mr.abc, how nice to meet you.” :D has worked well so far

Haha..nice reading this …it happens ..really..and quite awkward a situation. A little smile and a small ‘hello’ are though enough to avoid such embarrassment… :-)

In reply to Abhijit Ray. Thank you Abhijit :). True, there will always be the extreme ones, either on the gregarious end or on the limited front. I guess such ones are better left alone sometimes :)

In reply to Alok Vats. Thanks Alok :).. He he, that's true, normally it happens by an oversight and somehow it just misses the mind. Social interactions are certainly not the simplest of the lot :)

Nice tips. It will certainly help break the ice. But some people keep such a strong wall of impregnable silence that it may be difficult to go near them, let alone say hello.

Ha ha, nice post Vinay. Really enjoyed reading it. You know what normally what happens, when someone brings his or her friend to a party and the moment they enters into the party, the person who brings other one, actually got engaged with so many things that it becomes hard to introduce his/her friend to others.

You cannot accuse her for this, you should understand how popular is your friend among her circle… :)

Your comment reminded me a few lines
