The Art Of Storytelling

THE ART OF STORYTELLING

Story telling is an interesting format of traditional media which existed at a time when advanced forms of communication such as the written word did not exist. For example, historical stories of various local heroes who fought battles and participated in the freedom struggle were performed through song and drama. These were not written or documented. Instead they were orally communicated from one house to another or one village to another. They kept the stories alive. Story-telling forms such as ‘Harikatha’ and ‘Kabigan’ played a vital role in communicating historical and epic stories. Story telling is also practiced in traditional youth clubs like the Ghotul of the tribal Murias of Bastar or the Dhumkuria of the Oraons of Bihar. Storytelling is a means of expressing experiences, emotions and ideas in different forms of transfer and dating back to ancient times.
Despite all the modern innovations, the attraction of the art of storytelling has not  really  been  lost,  particularly  in  the  field  of education  where  it  still  carries  a  major  importance. Storytelling is the conveying of events in words, images, and sounds, often by improvisation or embellishment. Stories or narratives have been shared in every culture as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation, and to instill moral values. Crucial elements of stories and storytelling include plot, characters, and narrative point of view This method, which has become a developed tool in imparting  ideas  and  skills  with  the  aid  of  the  mass media, has become significant in all areas of studies.

They have gone to town talking about the new mature phase in their relationship- Deepika Padukone has even spoken of how Ranbir Kapoor might one day be the godfather of her kids- and they have worked together in one of the year's biggest hits, Ayan Mukerji's 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani'.

 But the chemistry between Ranbir and Deepika was not just good acting in the film. Bollywood is still abuzz with news of how the former lovers got all cozy at a party hosted by co-producer of Yeh Jawaani..., Ronnie Screwvala, to celebrate the film's success. News is still filtering in from last week's bash at Screwvala's sprawling Breach Candy home where Ranbir, happy and high, grabbed Dippy for a lingering kiss in front of all the guests.

LONDON: Face buried in the palm of his hands, he sank to his knees as the warm evening sun bathed Centre Court, its shimmering rays casting a golden glow on 2013 Wimbledon champion Andy Murray.

FACTBOX: Wimbledon champion Andy Murray

The 26-year-old World No.2 ended a near eight-decade wait for Britain as he blew away Novak Djokovic's challenge much like the celebrated title of that 1936 classic, 'Gone with the wind'. Incidentally, it was in the summer of '36 that the host nation's Fred Perry won the last of his three Wimbledon crowns. Murray, throwing in a mix of attacking and resilient tennis, collected £1,600,000 for his 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 win that ended a 77-year wait.

Alastair Nathan Cook

Alastair Nathan Cook
Alastair Nathan Cook, MBE (born 25 December 1984) is the captain of the English Test and ODI cricket teams. He is a left-handed opening batsman who plays county cricket for Essex. Cook played for Essex's Academy and made his debut for the first XI in 2003. He played in a variety of England's youth teams from 2000 until his call up to the Test side in 2006.
While touring in the West Indies with the ECB National Academy, Cook was called up to the England national team in India as a last-minute replacement for Marcus Trescothick and debuted with a century. Debuting at 21 years of age Cook went on to score 1,000 runs in his maiden year and become the youngest Englishman to reach 1,500, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000 and 5,000 Test runs, making centuries in his first Test matches against India, Pakistan, the West Indies and Bangladesh.[1]
Despite this prodigious flurry of runs, Cook came under criticism throughout 2008 for a lack of centuries; he replied in 2009 with two centuries, as well as a score of 95 against Australia to help seal England's first victory against them at Lord's since 1934. He took seven catches in the series, including the final wicket, to win the 2009 Ashes series. After deputising as Test captain in 2010 and then taking ODI captaincy full-time, Cook went on to play another pivotal role in retaining the 2010-11 Ashes series, breaking records by scoring the second highest number of runs in a Test series by an Englishman, including his maiden first-class double-hundred and two further hundreds, and batting for over 35 hours during the series.
