True guftagoo for me is when I'm fully present with no distractions around (ie. no phones). Asking those deep questions come a lot easier.

Yes I'm with you on that. Face to face is always different and still the best way. On the other hand, thankfully we have ways to keep in touch with friends overseas. Else the guftagoo would cost us a lot 😆

This reminds me of te conversation I had with my colleague today, he is 6 months junior to me but I hate it when they call me "sir" that my name, we were discussing about our drinking preference for our recent trip to a hill station, and he was conscious to share his will to try some hard drinks, yeah habitual drinking is bad, but once in a year is perishable, and no one is judging him for his wish to drink during the trip, when drinks are actually offered to everyone who want to. No one is judging anyone, all are busy in enjoying their time.

I felt great full to be their to talk about this with his when he needed this conversation, and this opened so many other though processes for me too.

It's a wonderful thing when someone opens up to us and shares what's on their mind. If we are open to it, we might learn a thing or two. And we may even laugh at our own (wrong) assumptions about the person. Thank you for sharing:)

Me too, and I'm so glad I made time for it last week. Which reminds me that we are still up for a catch up (ever since, my bad). Have you got time next week Thu or Fri? If yes, let me know and we will schedule via email ❤️
