List of things to keep in mind when speaking to people  
TIPS 

Tags: speaking tips conversation

My friends say I am good at making conversation. Some basic tips that seemed to haave worked in my case:

	Maintain eye-contact. Yes, looking at the person behind them or the girl to your right doesnt help. Maintaining eye-contact gives more meaning to the conversation.
	Smile. This one definitely works. The person you are speaking to tends to smile back without knowing why and then walks away happy, once again clueless as to why they're happy.
	Ask questions. The moment you think an awkward silence may have began, ask the person a question. It could be mundane. Some of these questions lead to very interesting conversations.
	Make a joke. Alternative to asking questions, but this one requires a little skill. Joke doesnt mean "knock, knock". Just say something funny as a part of the conversation.
	End it well. This is very important. This is what the other person takes back. A simple "see ya" will suffice, just dont walk away.
