I am an American when I visited India I was really taken back at how friendly everyone was. It was quite refreshing having so many people genuinely interested in getting to know me, and acted like I mattered. Then I went to Korea and the entire country ghosted me. Different cultures with different perspectives and mannerisms.

[@rajalakshmynarayanan9980ddmddk]

Yes❤ we Indians are very hospitable

[@The.Art._.]

Bro went to Taj Mahal and everyone is taking a selfie with him

[@mizlialia1476]

When Palki said "wish Good morning, even if you're NOT a morning person" I felt that! 😂

[@theridgelinestories]

Even our very close friends were one day strangers in school, college, office etc. To whom we decided to say hello or talk to. So this makes sense. 😅😊

[@davetorcan6047]

I worked in France (nantes). what surprised me was that over there whenever I met any one, they would say "Bonjour" or Good night depending on time.I picked that habit too and would say same to everyone. Even younger girls would say same. I tried that in Canada and did not work. But I do smile at strangers and some times that leads to a small talk.

[@johnnypham2850]

Made me laugh at “…tried that…” HAHAHAHA

[@makeitcount179]

This story is another reason to LIKE Palki Sharma. She finds happiness and shares it with us. We live in a troubled world. This story can help. A little and a little and a little is a lot. 😊

[@johnnypham2850]

Palki ma'am your presentation keeps every energy to take its wings up

[@erastusnuunyango8074]

Saying Hello to anyone you meet for the first time is a norm in Africa.

[@unforgettxxle]

Thanku palki mam I'm myself suffering depression and loneliness and since COVID thankyou for picking up this topic

[@krishnaVerma-ru8sk]

Don't worry, let have conversation with me 😂

[@Sports590]

Depends on the Individuals, if a Guy is desperate for Lust towards a Girl, then He will try to have casual relationship without having a genuine connection

[@thamilthalamai2909]

I am an Indian Tamil or Tamil Indian. We always strike a conversation in train and buses. It happens in North India too. It happens in the United States too. People are people everywhere. But it doesn't usually happen in the airplane. As we go up economic ladder, we slowly become inhumane. However we find that the children are prey in social media. Why? Because we the adults exploit their innocence and the natural and God given inclination to the other or strangers. In Tamil Nadu the biscuits-thiefs killed this natural inclination. The social media thiefs kill it. We need this natural inclination. We must periodically promote this culture

[@ec8610]

India should popularize SUPPORT GROUPS. That works wonders

[@joet5713]

I am a maximum security prison guard in real life. So I advice you to always talk to strangers. Even talk to the criminal one. The criminal are lonely out there

[@johnnypham2850]

Kindness can stop criminal behavior sometimes

[@shashwathsshekar5131]

[@unknown-mx9it]

If we see pur parents in india, they can easily initiate conversation with strangers, and after some time they become friends.

[@whiteking8341]

I'm struggling with social anixiety and it worse

[@selinaettyar9193]

Very true 👍

[@VasanthakumarC]

The scientists shall NEVER define the term "STRANGER" in their thesis. A stranger shall be anyone ranging from a friendly neighborhood store cashier to a veiled murderer. Will those scientists recommend their children to practice what they preach??? Thanks, but NO!

[@bivaschaudhuri7023]

Namaste means I recognize and bow down to devine in you. Same greetings for human or God anytime day or night. Two pulm together has mental and physical benefits too.

[@johnnypham2850]

I do not bow to others but do recognize the potential for greatness in all human beings

[@UncompressedWAVmusic]

I love flirting with women whether I know them or not. It is fun for me and them.

[@vikramshinde3622]

When my "BEAUTIFUL" neighbour is alone, whenever I got chance I said , "HELLO", "HI", "How are you" "Good morning 🌞" but her husband doesn't like 😢

[@davethomas6681]

I wonder if Palki would follow this?

[@ganpathyteppala4303]

Everything is fine. But when are you going to launch your Channel in Set top boxes?

[@nm9864]

Yes you should.

[@yogeshkushwaha4355]

[@johnbennett948]

A stranger is someone you haven't met yet.

[@Joonkumar775]

[@bhavyapal]

If we all just took our parents words and never talked to strangers we would not have any friend . So a stranger can become your friend

[@TueSorensen]

People in southern Europe and many other places (Africa, etc.) still talk to each other (incl. strangers) a lot. Does it give them a cultural advantage? Maybe - but loneliness seems like a difficult thing to measure. I agree most people (certainly in the US and northern Europe) are lonely and shouldn't be, and to my mind it is the bourgeois individualist ideology of capitalism that has most of the blame for this state of affairs. It simply sells more goods to force everyone to have their own house, their own car, their own dishwasher, etc., etc., even though it would be so much more social and cost-effective to lead collectivized lifestyles in many aspects of life. Capitalism needs loads of (actually unnecessary) middle-men to make profit, and therefore make sure to maximize the conditions for profit at all levels of society at the cost of regular people and their well-being. We're being oppressed.

Who is good morning?

[@sumeirahussain9461]

We were taught in our school to say hello to everyone we pass by , be it they are strangers . Our school's father Father Phillip Puttetupadavil taught us n i inculcated this habit . But it seems when in delhi you speak to strangers , especially women , it's said that those women are characterless. Very weird thing I saw in delhi . Whereas in North East India it's not such .

[@mohdaleem8572]

Sivi app best for it❤ from the Hyderabad Telangana INDIA n BHARAT 🇮🇳

[@Figuringout.404]

For a starter, hello stranger!

[@SP-vm4js]

Why to make everything official and under government programs. Let people grow themselves, judge, take initiative for their own personal life. Government can’t take responsibility for each and every situation in your life. Its earth and you are born here to live your life

[@John-nb6ep]

Being rped or the victim of violent crime also tends to shorten life spans.

[@smartdoctorphysicist3095]

Hi that sound very nice, but if was able to get the funds I need to go back to MD school that would me super happy. I will be able to do more in life.
