Let me quote a few scenarios
which I found to be very nice:
- Myself getting into a tram with many empty seats. I find the girl standing near the door with a big trunk in her hands. I ask her, why wouldn’t you sit, and she replied with a smile that she was fine and later got off at the next stop. She remembered to say bye to me 😀
- An Accordion player sitting in the subway playing some nice music. I had a small coin to offer him. He replies with a smile – Where are you from, India? Me- Yes. He- Oh, Mumbai, Kolkata very beautiful. The conversation ended with a big smile on both faces and a hand shake.
- An old couple whom we ended up in a conversation (Eugenie and I were planning to walk around the old town) with after realising they spoke English. They were from America and were so happy seeing us and had a similar passion for learning languages. We got down the stop, walked till a restaurant and even clicked a nice picture together

| Eugenie& I, with the sweet Australian Couple; near Zapiecek, the Polish restaurant! They took a picture of us too! |
- While running in a park here, I was finishing my run and waiting near the signal and came across a runner. Seeing her run, I wanted to join her along. We smiled at each other, had a small conversation introducing ourselves, although our run together hardly lasted a few furlongs.
- I get into the tram on a sunny day, watch a mother bring her child with the trolley and stood up to let her park the trolley in the place I sat, which was also meant for trolleys/ wheelchairs and could be used as normal seats when not put to this use. She refuses it with and later give me a nice smile and a small talk in English.
- While on a tram, I come across a lady and two teens speaking English. When I come across people speak English or German in the public, I try to compliment them for the fact that there are seldom speakers of these languages from my experience. They gave me a weird expression with a hidden smile and pointed towards Centrum, saying, Oh you need to probably go to the other side, a lot of them speak. My reply was – Oh, I’ve been living year for over a year and this is from my experience. Although our conversation didn’t go well, there was a conversation!
Different scenarios, not about the gender, but either initiating or
encouraging a conversation has a positive impact, even if it lasts for a few
seconds in the daily life!
Remember to smile!😁
Who knows, it could also end up in a strong friendship!
Have you ever come across such an experience? Share, let’s have a nice
conversation!
