Interesting Topics to Discuss

When the air gets impregnated with awkward silences? Yeah, I really cannot bear that. I can feel the tension rising from the dearth of some interesting topics to discuss. I literally start replaying some sort of crime scene in my head where the air is filled with tension like live fruits that you can pluck from the branches, then the sweat accumulating and the nervous laughter. I hate that nervous laughter the most! And then a dumb comment like 'What else'. That is enough to tip the scales over. This is of course the case with relative strangers that you do not share much of a chat rapport with, but here's the deal, which relationship does not have its share of awkward silences? Then one gropes (and hopes) for some interesting topics to hold discussions over and literally gets tormented because of the dearth of the same, coaxing your brain to throw in your direction something interesting to discuss with whoever sits before you. And at that point of time, if you're graced with some remotely good speech topics, you cling on to them with dear life.

Why, I ask? Why go through all that trouble when you can simply have a ready list of interesting topics that you can use in different situations with different people? Wouldn't that make things simpler? It definitely would. So if that's what you're looking for, then you might as well read the following article. All these topics listed below are given in the form of questions. Try asking any of these and see the conversation that flows from there. You'll see.
