An  Adivasi girl Sangita at Nahari Hotel , Pangarbari (near Wilson Hills, Gujarat) teaches us the Indian culture and way of welcoming guests! On 15-Jun-2016, my friend Sanjay Mahant and I visited a scenic hill-station in South Gujarat – Wilson Hills (near Dharampur). We wandered during the noon enjoying the view of the hill-station and chitchatting. We just did not think of the time while experiencing the pleasing wind and nature.

While being surrounded by strangers struggling with their problems at a public place, say, in a lift, in a waiting room, in a queue at the bank, cinema, or elsewhere, we remain silent and make no conversation. Because we think it to be a bad manner, awkward or challenging. That is not right. Instead, try with a smile, raising your hand and a small-talk. Talk may be about anything; say weather, long waiting or just anything like that. I am sure it will not only relieve the tension but also create a forging bond between humans.
