If you are a person that doubts the ability of Indian women to become great orators, you MUST read these findings of my recent observations (read, 'experiences'). ;-)
1. In a 4-hour long bus journey, men may chatter for a while, but sooner than later they tend to get bored and fall asleep, lulled by the wind and heat. But women can hold a riveting conversation throughout the course of the journey with the same vigour with which they started the discussions. Talk of being indefatigable!!!
2. At the restaurants, they can speak so fluently and unceasingly, without ever letting the inflow of food, solid or liquid, hinder their speech even for a nanosecond. Silver-tongues, 'borne with (ever-)silver spoons'!
3. In an over-night train journey, they can lull the entire compartment with their slow murmur, while slowly increasing their volumes to a crescendo that can put to shame the rattle of steel-on-steel. I often wonder whether they are the secret arrangements to keep the train driver alert and awake with their chatter and thus prevent accidents. Talk of not being loud enough!
Finally, what is more astonishing is their ability to hold an eloquent dialogue about almost any topic under the sun. If you're 'fortunate' enough to be seated near any such 'orators', you're bound to come away wiser in the topics of family life, tackling cunning relatives, family financials, neighbourhood gossips, hereditary inheritances of both properties and diseases, art of buying vegetables, culinary magics and what not?! Stay with keen ears and they may even 'spice it up' for you.
So, the next time you find two women sitting together, find a seat as close to them as possible and let me know your observations.
