Why we talk so much?


I was returning home from abroad, the big aircraft was filled with passengers, except a few Bangla speaking people, all were from different countries. In the long flight I noticed that there was no sound, some passengers were sleeping, and others were watching television, reading books or working on Laptops.

We had to change the plane in a country near Bangladesh. The picture changed, except a few, all the passengers were Bangla speaking. They all started talking loudly and made so much noise that it was just like a fish market. I felt deeply ashamed and disappointed.

In spite of repeated announcements to switch off the mobile phones, I noticed that many passengers started to use their mobile phones before the plane landed, though it was very risky because it could interfere with the electronic devices of the aircraft.

So, I had to ask myself, why we talk so much?
