Once upon a time, I was having lot of
time to play, to dance, to cry, to scream, to sing randomly and with no reason.
I heard stories while eating, while sleeping, while pursuing my education, people
were taking me to show all new things and I was getting amazed, I do not
remember every pulse of that time but I remember many stories.
The dynamism of story is how it
travels from one culture to another, from generation to generation with many
different versions and still immortally alive. Myth, mythology, epics, ghost
stories, fairy tales, funny, foolish or wisdom stories, in India it was an oral
tradition. The prime reason of immortality is human involvement. It hasn’t
stopped yet in today’s time. Do you know why companies spend lots of money on
user manuals and make separate packaging for it with gazettes? Because, they
know, that even the user knows the device still it might require ones’s crucial
time to understand the particular function of device. Story works exactly like
that, it requires one’s crucial time to understand situation in a better way,
and a situation which occurs in all kinds of relations, personal, social,
cultural and official agenda. Stories mirror
human thought as humans think in narrative structures and most often remember
facts in story form. Facts can be understood as smaller versions of a larger
story thus storytelling can supplement analytical thinking.
It has been noticed and experienced
that stories help to understand kid’s behavior, to introduce required the
system in particular department in business, to realize environmental as well
as esthetical issues, and the most importantly which we all liked in our
grandmother stories, that is fun and sound sleep. It works in metaphorical way.
Stories: we all love to listen and we get many simple solutions for complex
matters.
