A Story of Stories

Adam, Eve and the Forbidden Fruit.

You have read and heard it since time immemorial. Stories were here before you read them or ever came across them. How did you come to know about it? Books? Some movie? Or, your parents?

There can be various forms that these stories can take to reach out to you. They always find a way, thanks to the humans! Their constant innovation in the field of communication made sure that we will always know what past was and what is happening in the world currently.

How did these stories traverse through time?

We have thousand sources of stories these days. But, how did it happen in the ancient times? Letters? Well, even that is modern when compared to the primitive form of story telling.

Body language expressed a thousand words and walls of the caves became storyboards. This was story telling when the concept of language didn't even exist. The symbols on rocks and caves told us about what life was like. We are talking about the time when drum beats and smoke signals were a form of communication (and the only).

What started with sounds and symbols has developed into a various types and forms of communication. Stories were written in the form of symbols and that is what tells us all about how our forefathers were like.

"Story, as it turns out, was crucial to our evolution -- more so than opposable thumbs. Opposable thumbs let us hang on; story told us what to hang on to."

-Lisa Cron

Some myths and facts became our history because some of them did exist and others maybe didn't. Was there a forbidden fruit? We'll probably never know. But, it is a good story, isn't it? Let's hang on to it.

Quest and Curiosity of Human Mind

These stories communicated via various means over time became an integral part of our existence. The quest to decode these symbols and curiosity of the human mind led to various changes in the way these stories were told and received. This exchange of stories (or, information) led to the connection that they built with each and became truly social beings.

While the medium has changed, audience remains the same.
