Abstract
Human beings are meaning making animals,
thus we are embedded in layers and layers of
narratives to make sense of who we are. In
that sense stories are what make us human.
Stories bind all of us together as a family, as a
society, as humans. Every society known to us
has story-telling as one of its mediums for
entertainment and education. Through stories
from around the world, one can understand and
empathize with people one has never known or
met. The attractive world of stories motivates
the Katha Manch-which is a registered trust
dedicated to stories- to read, listen and create
them, so that later they can be narrated to
children. Storytelling is necessary for the
transmission of experience, it not only allows
us to experience new things but also allows us
a window into knowing things that we couldn't
have known otherwise. It is this potentiality of
a story that makes it so powerful and such a
treasure which always needs to be passed on
to the next generation
