 Mini Stories on Wisdom & Love   I want to be a storyteller too And she asked the storyteller, "I want to be a storyteller too. What can I do to become one or is it a gift from God rather?" He replied with a subtle smile, "Probably God first makes you an idealist and then surrounds you with unidealistic circumstances all around. This gift of 'a bundle of contradictions' exposes one to the weirdness of life. Weirdness and contradictions of life often make for great stories. The best stories are often inspired by the beloved or the divine. And then like any other skill, it is practice, practice and more practice." ------------------- From one extreme to another, ......well that's the human story She was his childhood friend.

"The Power of Storytelling", from the Guru of Networking "Before television there was radio. Before radio there were books. And before books there were storytellers. The power of a well-told tale, passed down from gene ration to generation and recited from memory over a campfire, is the power that brought people together and formed the beginnings of cultures that have lasted even to the present day. No matter what the medium – stone tablets, movies, grocery store tabloid, the Internet – the story is central. A good story stays with people and compels them to share it with others. It’s as true today as it was two thousand years ago – and it’s especially true of success stories. Everyone likes to hear them; everyone likes to have one.  And doesn’t this align nicely with word-of-mouth marketing, where referrals are based on thousands of individual success stories? Every time one networker passes a referral to another, she is telling a story about a need fulfill...

 Stories and Musings on wisdom and unconditional love It's the sensitive empath, who ends up as a loner "I hate you.", he told her. She was shocked to hear such strong words, and said, "But why? What have I done to deserve this?" And he said, "Just because I want to be deeply, unconditionally loved. And that is surely not what I feel." "Oh my God! Is that so? "she noted with a visibly perturbed face. And they both just broke down into tears. His soul wanted to connect again, yet the analytical mind started thinking, "Is it the empaths and over-sensitive people who often end up becoming loners? Do those who are most loving-empathetic end up alone?" The reflections began too, "Sometimes, I easily make out the conditionality of human love and sometimes I expect sensitivity, which is...." Hatred originates from hurt. Hurt originates from love. So complex, yet so simple ......is ...

 Here are some stories and musings:- The Magic Only drama happens, when there is no intent, just right perception. Only gods understand, when there is right intent without right perception.

The Story  "Eventually everything connects - people, ideas, objects. The quality of the connections is the key to quality per se." - Charles Eames “Everything Connects”, interesting title for a book, I must say. So when I came to know of this new book by Faisal Hoque & Drake Baer, I thought there must be an interesting story behind it too. And I requested Faisal for a Skype chat. I saw a mysterious story, and I wanted to solve the mystery as soon as possible. “Tell me the story about the book” I asked Faisal.

We both were looking at each other curiously, as if we both seemed to be older and less glamorous than our digital avatars. Faisal immediately replied, “The inspiration comes from none else than, Leonardo Di Vinci.” I knew that Faisal is a practitioner of mindfulness and I sensed a spiritual overtone in the book. So my next ques...
