What do you think we are made up of? and no I’m not talking science today. We are mostly made up of the stories we listen and experience. Humans are quite interesting piece of trash until they are influenced with stories and experiences.

Stories as you might know or I should say the general verdict is that it’s a mode of entertainment, but stories aren’t just limited to that. Stories aren’t just events of past that better be left forgotten.

The rise of Hitler, the freedom struggle, the assassination of Maharana Kumbha, the conspiracy against Nikola Tesla, the epics, the countless thought provoking stories passed on from generations etc. etc. are the stories that some say are either fictional or absolute reality but none of that should be our concern.

Stories are told to evoke certain emotions and convey a powerful message and sometimes neither of those. However one can not deny the fact that stories is the most powerful way of conveying any message in a way that makes the receiver bound to give a thought to it.

As the importance of stories is realized so the importance of art of telling stories is what comes to mind next. Stories can be told in a number of different ways, speech, books, drama, pictures, moving pictures etc.

The skill of telling stories can be developed simply by reading more and more stories. Stories that are straightforward, stories that are not gonna give a verdict but rather leave the interpretation on the listener.

Many even tell stories from their own experiences and that certainly is more clamphasising as the character of the story is right infront of them.

If you can express in the form of stories it for sure is a superpower that can change the story of an individual, a society, an ideology, a nation, and even this deaf world.
