The Art of Conversing

As human beings, the most important thing we socially do is talking. We talk whenever and wherever with whomever we feel like sharing words. So much so that people don't care what time it is, where they are.. they will TALK. I had this realization when I was stuck in a local for about 2 hours in the ladies compartment at 5 in the morning (A.M.!!). Enough said.

A person has to learn two things in the beginning of his life. One of them is talking. It is such an integral part of human life that there are actual professions related to talking.

 As far as the art of conversation goes; some are good at it, and some... well, need practice. A lot of it. In the skill of keeping a conversation going , an important part is learning how to shut up. Most people know how to start talking, but few know when to stop. It becomes like that cup which keeps on being filled in, even after it starts overflowing. And as you can assume, it's not a pretty sight. These conversations take such weird turns that you yourself will have no idea how you got there. One minute you are talking about chocolate, the next you'll find yourself debating over which politician is more corrupt. How friendly discussions change into verbal fights is beyond my comprehension. But having seen some of these incidents, has brought to light the sole reason of this travesty. The art of shutting up when you know it is pointless to argue evades most people. Hence the arguments augment and tempers flare, and then you find yourself witnessing a full-fledged "War of Words". 

Please. Stop.

If like me, you find yourself in such a sticky situation, ask yourself, "Is it worth the amount of breath that will be lost for this pointless discussion?" If not, then it is nothing less than intelligent to bow out of such a conversation. Winning is not always everything.

Stay Awesome \m/

          New found Love :- Frank Sinatra

Hey folks! Did you have a great Christmas? Comment below with your experiences :)Now getting to the topic at hand...

As you must have seen in my last blogpost, I mentioned Frank Sinatra's "Have yourself a merry little Christmas" according to me, as the best Christmas classic. So then I started listening to more of his songs; and I must say, I might have found my newest crush!!

From all the songs of Sinatra which I have heard, I thought the best ones were....

ALL OF THEM!!

You cannot find anything common in any of the songs, except the luscious, honey-sweet voice of that man which makes you want to swing your hands, tap your feet and dance the night away!!

As in the Indian music industry, there are classic singers like Kishore Kumar and Mohammad Rafi, I found that in the American music industry, there are Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and many more. 

These glorious angels of heaven bestowed with their melodious voices brought joy to us for many years. It's quite astonishing to me that I still find these songs enjoyable, even though I was not even present when these were launched. I guess that's why they are called classics! 

Still, from all the songs of Frank Sinatra, I bring you THE BEST ONES..

1) Strangers In The Night.

2) My Way.

3) Love And Marriage.

4) The Way You Look Tonight.

5) I Get A Kick Out Of You.

6) Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.

7) I've Got You Under My Skin.

8) Let's Fall In Love.

9) Fly Me To The Moon.

10) Come Fly With Me.
