I abhor small talk. I find it useless and a waste. I am very pragmatic, even with my words.
What R2C wrote above is correct. Practice it when out and about. Engage strangers, certainly if someone initiates conversation with you, embrace it. Ask questions as that leads to more communication. Be pleasant, present, and sincere.
