As I entered the office today, bright and early as usual, I had all but one thought on my mind - To make conversations! I won't be exaggerating if I say that on a typical day I appear like a person who has either taken a vow of silence or caught up in a severe state of abstracted musing.
This morning, however, was different as I was filled with an eagerness to interact, thanks to this blog prompting me to try out something new.
As I sat at my workstation getting on with my morning tasks, I soon realized that despite my best intentions I was actually still in my own bubble and the whole venture was becoming less alluring by the minute. Already, a whole hour has elapsed and the right spirit was entirely absent! Of course, I was not going to give up that easily, so I headed towards the pantry and instead of slipping away having given a half-smile like on other days, I actually got into an animated conversation with the colleagues. The day passed with a few other such engaging, high-spirited wordy encounters and at the end of the day, I left office, pleasantly conscious of a day well-spent.
I am en route to becoming a conversationalist....
