Interesting Experiences, Amazing Characters and a Life Full of Stories



A Life Full of Stories
And they asked the storyteller, "So what was the best gift you got from the Universe?"

The storyteller, "A life-story packed with stories..... or full of interesting experiences with amazing characters, each worth a story."

What the hell Dr Amit, do all my questions have only one answer?
The client asked me, “I want to give the same message online and offline. What is the solution?
My answer-Story

Client-I don’t want to sound self-promotional. I want to integrate social interest too. How do I make my message meaningful?
Me- Story

Client-Is there a tool, which can make my message educative and entertaining at the same time?
Me-Story

Client-Can I align my personal and business brands and build them together? If yes, how?
Me-Story

Client-I want to share same or similar message on mass media and social media? What is the solution?
Me-Story

Client-What the hell, do all my questions have only one answer? Is storytelling some kind of panacea or omnipotent tool?
Me-(Of course, I can’t say, "What the hell" to a client) That’s true, all your questions and problems have only one answer, “The Story”
-------------------------- 

Magical Stories
Simply put, a great story has 3 components viz.
a) Finely etched characters
b) Detailed description of ambience (what goes on outside/around the characters)
c) Description of emotional nuances (what goes on inside the characters)

And it goes without saying that a thread weaves all these three components into a fine sequence of events, resulting in a magical story.

The Curse and the Blessing
And they asked him, "What makes your stories so interesting, empathetic and yet so full of life?"
The storyteller, "In Chinese there is a curse, 'May you live in interesting times.' .......So God told me,"May you live in 'interesting times'(then she paused and added) and write 'interesting stories' too."

An Uncomfortable Soul- A Short Story

Image
Once again she has started talking to herself. It’s her‘alone-time’ when thousands of thoughts are crossing her mind. All those questions that include ‘Why me?’and every situation that made her feel bad is flashing from the past.She has a bunch of people around her. Those people who have different mindsets, different goals, and different approach towards life.  May be she builds stronger bonds with lesser people. She is questioning herself, “Is it worth being here?”May be she doubts because,in this temporary world, she still believes in profound talks and eternal relationships. Not just her life revolves around building connections rather she believes in living them. People often perceive her as one with detached persona.But she is a human with reserved emotions who takes a while to truly open up.She hardly discusses her emotions except when she feels she has built a strong enough connection with a person. No doubt, socializing is a difficult task for her. An

How Introverts like Guy Kawasaki & Pete Cashmore are changing the rules of the game with Online Branding?

18th January, 2013 And how a book changed my life forever? Caution-Nobody is a complete extrovert or introvert. These are tendencies and we all are on different points of the scale. We have lived in a world which worships the ‘Extrovert’ and pushes the ‘Introvert’ to become an extrovert, to get success. As 'The New York Times' bestselling author Susan Cain says, “Introversion along with its cousins sensitivity, seriousness and shyness is now a second class personality trait.” But many of us have not even realised the world has changed. The credit for this goes to Social Media (aka Facebook, Linkedin Twitter and others), which arrived around 2006. Social Media gives an opportunity to introverts to express themselves from the computer (later they can come out in the open to express their passions.) Sometime back, Raja Choudhury, well known Digital Filmmaker-Director & Founder, Universal Quest & C3CUBE Multimedia, recommended me to read The New York Time
