Hey everyone!
Nice topic to discuss. By the way, it's really hard at times when we want to understand others or mingle with people at our workplace, especially if the person in front of you is of the opposite sex. One needs to be very cautious before asking for tea or lunch. It's quite easy for big organizations, but in a small company, it's a bit tough to understand others. I would like people to add comments!

Hi,
People generally have a view on all that is political or anything based on principle, but generally, these are the points where people get offended too. The best line to start would be on a social issue like child marriage, sati, widow remarriages, or something along those lines. These discussions generally bring out positive responses from people. Once the person starts talking, it's easy to judge what he/she is interested in and take it from there. Generally, the second step could be any sport; most people come around with cricket, soccer, golf, or tennis. The third stage should be politics or finance, and if not interested, then go for any topic that should help the other person form an opinion. Once the person starts forming an opinion, it's easier to discuss and talk to the person.
Hope the above suffices. Anything new, please add.
Thanks & Regards, AJ

I think the best way to start the conversation would be by bringing up the latest sports or entertainment news, as these are the topics most people are comfortable talking about. The most important thing when trying to make a person feel at ease while talking to you is listening to them and providing a positive response, such as smiling or nodding, while they speak.
This strategy has worked for me, and I hope it is useful for you as well.

Hi,
In the case of new employees or unknown members, we first start with our self-introduction. Then, we can discuss general topics like movies, which heroes/heroines they like. Like that, we can start our discussion.
Afterwards, we can talk about their family and kids. Initially, unknown persons may feel shy to openly talk. After the general topic discussion, they may share whatever they would like.

the best way is to discuss about the prevailing situation which very obviously everyone knows ... and must ask more open ended questions to avoid the pauses....

Hi,
I think it is a great topic to discuss because sometimes it's really difficult to hold a conversation when you seem to fall short of words. I believe one should talk depending on the situation. Some generic topics to discuss could include food, weather, sports, and traveling. In case you are with foreign clients, you could always talk about Indian culture and learn about their culture.

Dear All,
The discussion topic is very good. When one is in the office, it is very important to talk to others and mingle with them. The following are some topics that are commonly discussed in the office:
1) Weather
2) If someone is having lunch, you can talk about food - nearby good restaurants, favorite food, ambiance, and quality of food.
3) Sports is an interesting topic to discuss.
4) Discussing the latest best practices in management/work followed by other companies/organizations.
5) Bollywood/music
6) Family and humor
Cheers,
OK

Hi,
Good concern. It would be better to have an introduction of new staff for just five to ten minutes at lunchtime or tea time on the first day of the office. Other steps could include:
1) Cultivating an open culture
2) Encouraging new ideas through suggestion schemes
3) Celebrating birthdays/marriage anniversaries in convenient groups, etc.
Perhaps meetings and group activities should be organized to encourage newcomers to contribute.
