Time to say "hmm"

One of the best times on the internet is when we chit-chat using IM. Imagine a scenario when a relaxed individual share some chat session with good friends or colleagues. Possibly, the best part in those conversations is that you can use any chat jargons, slangs, emotion icons, etc. Such chat sessions usually last for hours adding to entertainment and fun element. One of the coolest expression widely used by all of us is none other than "hmm". Sometimes, some words fit in everywhere so evenly that they make our conversation very easy and enjoyable. Perhaps, the same stand is owned by our "hmm" also. "hmm" sound blends in our thought process so nicely that it either fits in our question or in our answer. Above all this, it adds magic to the those lovely talk sessions. This sound is just like a chameleon that adapts to every role with an ease! Every role assigned to it is played brilliantly. If you doubt that then fit it anywhere in your conversation with your boss. Trust me, just a "hmm" sound will make your boss think that you have a deep mindset or you give your thoughtful consideration to what he/she instructs. However, do make sure to fit it in at right places of a conversation because sometimes, it also signifies "hesitation". Just mould the way you say "hmm" and see it would do wonders for you.

Broadly, this sound can be taken in the form of two major versions. One being a long "hmm" with a falling tone, which means something interesting and you are giving a deep thought to it. And, other being a much shorter "hmm" with no falling tone "huh" which usually means that you never thought of it! So, you make it a "hesitation", "thought", "question" or whatever you feel like. The knockout about this "hmm" sound is that it is understood by people using different languages. Though it has a very wide role so "hmm" sound is not restricted to just these mentioned expressions. The best variant of this sound would be, "I am engrossed in my deep thought process, kindly wait for a few minutes or seconds before you receive a meaningful reply from me. However, if I do not reply, it is most likely that my short attention span has made me forget about our conversation".

Eventually, here comes a soul to ease after completion of a relaxed "hmm" article.
