This comical behavior is really required in corporates and really need something to release their stress There is wide range of topics to talk with understanding extending from kids to strenuous topics of Markets, stocks and Nifty.

Using difficult vocabulary is a resistance in the healthy communication. The person might get obstructed or stuck to that word or particular sentence and might loose interest in your speech, try expressing yourself in simplest form. Try giving examples in your speech to express your thoughts clearly. For the next sentence you may ask for profession and what led him/her to do this if working. If the person is studying you may ask him what kind of job the person expects in his future and what potential is available with him. Never force the person to express his private life, let the person gain his/her trust on you don’t be in hurry to ask everything at once. For this you may tell jokes but never get too intimate about looks or personal. One might get his sentiments hurt due to word which were easy for you. For this, try putting yourself into his/her shoes and think again what would you go through if someone spoke about that matter. If speaking in vernacular languages it is very easy to use respectful word like, ‘AAP’ for both younger and the elder ones. There is a saying by William Feather, “Politeness is an inexpensive way of making friends.” Treat everyone with polite words, even if they are rude to you not because they are nice but because you are nice. You might also go with random questions like what kind of songs you like or series Genre interests which are very common nowadays for the younger generation.It is said that ‘An elderly person at home is like a living golden treasure.’ To communicate with older people one must ask about their life experiences, Mistakes and listen what mistakes are not to be repeated. You might seem them as old-school people but admire them and take into account their thoughts. In interview one must maintain an eye-contact throughout. The face should not express grumpiness or comical. A nice pleasant smile throughout might impact a positive impression. While answering one must be diplomatic as well as genuine. Answering just to please people might cause difficulties in future but one must not answer with unsatisfactory words. This causes confusion in both minds. Answer honestly what you are capable of and what might you be learning with them.

While communicating never judge people by profession or age each one has different and unique mindsets. Listen everyone and try to help out if in trouble. Meeting and communication with people enhances the speaking skills and your thinking ability. while concluding your word one must never forget to take address the person. One must conclude the words with goodbye, see you soon, “It was pleasure talking to you.” or “we really had a nice conversation hope we communicate further.” Finally it is very necessary to develop such skills which will help one to enculcate activities of communicating and self development
