Learning Process To Write A Love Story

Writing is an art by itself. Though, there are some qualities that are God apt, finally the art of writing can further be developed with due initiative and hard commission. This decade has witnessed the uttermost quantity of writers on the world horizon. A lot crowded of them draw on romantic and love stories, which have a cubby-hole of their own. Though myriad writers may yearning to write love stories, somewhere they may be stuck on the perplexing dispute of how to symbolize emotions on to paper. I have had the power of having written some 45 romantic tales and since in my lowly way, may be in a position to give some advise in this matter. At the outset, I must distinguish between outright pornography and a love story. Pornography is easier to write and the intellect plays very little part in its formulation. In other words it is a clinical tale devoid of emotion. But love stories differ in the sense that the tale must be infused with emotion that the reader must feel. It should also raise his intellectual level to the sublime. The first ingredient of a love story is the plot. You will first have to put on your thinking cap and visualize the story and its final denouement. You will have to structure the story, so that it appears plausible and appeals to the reader. The important thing is to keep your mind uncluttered and free of any thoughts, which could impede your tale. When you have thought out the plot, you will have to dream the actions of the main characters of your story. You will have to let your mind imagine how a lover would respond to a given situation. Writing a love story is an art and I dare say the age old adage that practice makes one perfect holds true here. Write the story and re - read it, till you feel that the emotions have been correctly brought out. In addition try and picture the mind of the reader and how you can engross him. For all said and done the story must appeal to the reader. While writing, sit in an airy room without any distractions. Concentrate on the job at hand. You will need to have a sensitive mind to write touching tales. Do not use hard language and let your pen flow like the soft breeze. You will find as you continue to write fresh ideas will develop in your brain and you could put them to paper. Make use of your personal love affairs, for after all an experience will help to develop your imagination. Otherwise also try and dream, for that is what love is all about. When you have finished the story, edit it and ask a friend to read it and ask him or her how it feels. So then, you are on your way. The clue is to dream and imagine and if you can represent it on to paper, you are on your way.

Let me tell you a story

Stories have played a exceeding role in all our lives. When we were small children we looked forward to duskiness when we would hear a story from a origin. If we were not so lucky, we would hear a story at school. Those of us who went to Sunday school heard stories from the Bible that were meant to educate us, but regularly scared us into submission. Sadly the different layers of the Bible stories are infrequently ever explained to us. Emanuel Swedenborg provided interesting spiritual explanations of various Bible stories. Remit to my blog for a link to the website.

Augmented fascinating website that sheds a different lustrous on the buried meanings of the stories in the Bible is one bearings the author claims that none of the stories in the Bible are real or entirely happened. Refer to my blog for a link to the website.

And by the way, it is not a sin to scan these websites and therefrom wrap up for yourself what you want to believe. God gave you a thought so that you can use it to actuate what is good for you. Treasure that what is good for you is not necessarily good for other people, and it is not for us to sheriff one amassed.

We all grew up with the tales of the brothers Grimm. Those tales are heuristic today owing to fairytales for children, but they were originally meant for adults because each one of them subsume a lesson that is much deeper than what a child would hear. Each one of these tales is a metaphor that explains a feature of life.

And of course we are told stories every day on television. The soap operas are not real at all, but for some people they are a window into the lives of an mistaken family. There are and various series that make characters intimate to us and we learn what to expect of the characters, like the heroes in science fiction or big idea movies. We all have our favourite actors and actresses, seeing they are masters at weaving a web that we want to believe. Sometimes these soap operas are used for edutainment ( a combination of education and entertainment ) to support marked information on health or civil issues, and this is more powerful than for example providing written material to people that have difficulty reading, or providing spoken warnings to people that did not have the good sense to heed such warnings.

Stories are part of many different traditions. The stories of the Grimm brothers and comic characters such as Asterix and Tintin originated in Europe.

There are also the tales of the Arabian nights that reflect ancient life in the Middle East. The Arabian Nights is a collection of Persian, Arab and Indian folk tales that were handed down through the centuries. Legend has it that a beautiful lady called Scheherazade had to tell a murderous prince a story each night to prevent the prince from killing her. The result is a beautiful collection of stories including the famous ones about Sinbad the sailor and Aladdin.

The Hassidic Jews have their own traditional stories. One of the disciples of the great Rabbi Baal Shem Tov was lame. One day, this disciple was asked to tell a story about his master. He began to tell how the Baal Shem Tov used to leap and dance when he prayed. The disciple became so engrossed in his story that he stood up, and began to leap and dance as his master used to. At that moment, he was cured of his lameness, and became completely healthy. There is a beautiful story called Let the story choose me that explains the healing value of stories. Refer to my blog for a link to the website.

On the African continent stories often feature talking animals that convey important lessons in life. Refer to my blog for a link to a website with examples of these tales.

Why are stories so important to us? We use stories to share experiences, understand each other and create a sense of community. Parents use stories to bond with their children. Sages use stories to convey important life lessons and explain customs and values. People express wisdom by means of a story. Stories are used to break down barriers within and between groups.

Most stories have some entertainment or educational value. The advent of the internet has brought us the genre of urban myths. People ' s need to believe things is often proven by the circulation of the most absurd stories, such as the one about the rapist who got into the car of a lady who was putting petrol into her car, or the various versions of the very ill children whose parents need money for emergency treatment. A very useful website to get to the truth of these myths is referred to on my blog. We would do each other a favour by first researching even the most heart rending story before we circulate them.

Stories enable us to look inward and understand story patterns and characters that intertwine with the hard - to perceive forces that shape our lives. The stories also enable us to look outward, because story - threads join us to a larger cultural fabric. The most important stories may be those we share with family and friends. All stories help preserve memory, explain our present, and imagine our future. Stories that evolve across time bind individuals to families and families to society, defining our collective values, beliefs and goals.

Stories also connect us to the eternal Source of creativity. Professional writers know that the muse is a combination of discipline and inspiration. That inspiration comes from tuning into another dimension that contains all the stories that we could possibly want - from Tolstoy ' s War and Peace to the Harry Potter saga to all the Bible stories.

Here are two lovely short stories that convey lessons to us in a thoughtful manner.

The first one is about the young boy that wanted to become the pupil of an old priest. The priest looked in the eyes of the boy and realised that the boy was not going to live long. He decided to send the boy back to his family to die, but told the boy to come back the next summer.

A year later the boy was back, lively and happy. The priest looked at the boy in astonishment and realised that the boy was not going to die for a very long time. Never questioning what he initially saw in the eyes of the boy, he asked the boy to explain to him in detail what had happened during the previous year.

The boy told the priest how, on his way home, he saw a colony of ants trapped on some high ground in the river. The boy found a long stick and held it over the river so that the ants could walk on the stick to dry land. His arms got very tired, but he held the stick in place until the very last ant had reached dry land. The boy then described the rest of the journey, but the priest was no longer listening. He had realised that that one single act had wiped out all the bad karma that the boy had accumulated in previous lives. That was why the boy was no longer going to die young.

The second story is about two priests that were travelling together on foot. They came to a river crossing where a woman was standing, looking frightened. Brother Benjamin asked her: - Why are you looking so frightened? Can we help you? -

- I need to get to the other side of the river -, she said, - but I can ' t swim and am frightened that the water will take me. -

- I can help you, - said Brother Benjamin. The woman got onto his back and they waded to the other side. She thanked him and walked away.

The two priests walked in silence for the next two hours. Brother Benjamin eventually realised that Brother John was silent because he was angry.

- You are very quiet, Brother John? Is something bothering you? - Brother Benjamin asked.

- Is something bothering me! You swore a vow of chastity! You promised never to touch a woman! And there you did not just touch a woman! You carried her on your back in a most indecent manner! Shame on you. Shame on you! - Brother John said.

Brother Benjamin stopped walking and looked at Brother John.

- Brother John, - he said. - I put the woman down hours ago. Why are you still carrying her

MAN - WOMAN RELATIONSHIP IN THE POETRY OF KAMALA DAS

MAN - WOMAN RELATIONSHIP IN THE POETRY OF KAMAL DAS

India is a unity in diversity and its literature besides gives the twin aroma. Existing Indian English poetry emerged at the term of the Second World War beside the neb of colonialism. It is one of the legion - new literatures ' which began at that time. It is again a gospel that current Indian poetry in English has been barbarian by the most of the critics, foreign readers and intellectuals owing to compare to the ingenious writings of Africa and the Caribbean. The reason is that it has no outstanding and direct relationship to the cultural movements which led to federal independence. But by 1947, the position had changed and with it the establishment of the new poets became their relationship to and alienation from the realities of their society. They got a hard confrontation from older patriot writers and from regionalists who demanded a renaissance of the culture of pre - colonial languages of India.

Now English is no longer the speaking of colonial rulers. It is a words of fashionable India in which words and expressions have recognized federal significances and references. English is not the speaking of ordinary people. It is the utterance of those who govern, communicate, produce and make decisions at the federal matched. Words, phrases, expressions of fashionable Indian English poetry display the local realities, Indian traditions and ways of awareness. Double Indianization is started in the poetry of Kamala Das, Pritish Nandy and more strongly in the works of Keki Daruwala. It is more commonly instant in terms of tone and stress in the poetry of Nissim Ezekiel and Jayant Mahapatra.

Indian English poetry is become a part of the process of modernization which includes urbanization, industrialization, independence and social change and resulting the evolution of an English talking culture touching that of Hindi and the regional languages. Despite durable attacks on the Indian English poets, their place in latest Indian culture is recognized.

The Indian English poets seeing a conglomerate nurse to be marginal to standard Hindi society not single by being alienated by their English utterance education but again by due from close communities thanks to the Parsis, Jews and Christians or being a moaner from Hinduism and Islam or by living in foreign countries. Several poets of Indian English language come from westernized Indian families and several poets were sent to boarding schools in their childhood. They often do not have local roots.

The Indian English poet ' s decision to use English as a language of writing poetry is not only influenced by education but also by the poor state of regional language poetry. In this regard, a critic of Kamala Das says that:

- When she began writing in English, there was no modern poetry in Malayalam. - Manohar Shetty also has the same views regarding his regional language poetry or literature. He opines that:

- In Tulu ( the language of his family ) there is no creative literature. -

Many Parsi poets writing in English language may be explained by the fact that Parsi - Gujrati is a dialect without a tradition of serious and creative literature.

Many of the poets have been particularly active in translating from regional languages. Ramanujan is famous for his translations from classical and medieval Tamil and modern Kannada, Jayant Mahapatra from Oriya, Kolatkar from Marathi, Patel from Gujarati, Mehrotra from Hindi and Nandi ' s translations Bengali are known to every one who is familiar with Indian English poetry.

Kamala Das is the most distinctive and unique voice in Indian English poetry in particular and the whole Indian literary scene in general. She brings a most noticeable and directly perceptible feminine sensibility and an explicit, undisguised, natural idiom in her poems. Recognized as one of the foremost poets of India, Kamala Das was born on March 31, 1934 in Malabar in Kerala. By the influence of her great uncle Nalapat Narayan Menon who is a prominent writer, her love poetry began at an early age. Kamala Das remembers watching him - work from morning till night - and thinking that he had a blissful life. Kamala Das was also greatly affected by the poems of her mother, Nalapat Balamani Amma, and the sacred writings kept by the matriarchal community of Nayars. She was married to K. Madhava Das at the tender age of fifteen. She herself says in her interview that she - was mature enough to be a mother only when my third child was born. - Her husband - often played a fatherly role for both Das and her sons -. There is a big age difference between kamala Das and her husband.

When Kamala Das wished to begin writing, her husband supported her decision only because of his want of improving the income of the family. However, she could not enjoy the morning - till - night schedule like her great uncle. She would wait till night to write. In an interview, she accepts:

- there was only the kitchen table where I would cut vegetables, and after all the plates and things were cleared, I would sit there and start typing. -

At the age of 65, in 1999, she converted Hindu to Islam and became Kamala Das to Suraiya. She had the view that only Islam could provide a woman love and protection.

Kamala Das began to write at the tender age of six and after that she gave a number of remarkable and memorable works. She has the great writing skill both in poetry and prose. She has the perfect hand both in prose and verse. She wrote effectively in both the languages i. e. in English and in Malayalam. In English language, she published her first work in 1964 titled as - The Sirens '. After that - Summer in Calcutta - in 1965, - The Descendants ' in 1967, - The Old Playhouse and Other Poems ' in 1973, - My Story ' in 1976, - Alphabet of Lust ' in 1977, - The Anamalai ' in 1985, - Padmavati the Harlot and Other Stories ' in 1992, - Only the Soul Knows How to Sing ' in 1996 and - Yaa Allah ' in 2001 were published. Among them - My Story ' is an autobiography, - Alphabet of Lust ' is a novel, - Padmavati the Harlot and Other Stories ' is a collection of short stories and the remaining are the collections of poems.

In the language of Malayalam, she wrote - Pakshiyude Manam ' in 1964, - Naricheerukal Parakkumbol ' in 1966, - Thanuppu ' in 1968, - Balyakala Smaranakal ' in 1987, - Varshangalkku Mumbu ' in 1989 and - Palayan ' in 1990.

Kamala Das received many national and international awards for her great literary contribution. Some of them are Asian Poetry Prize, Kent Award for English Writing from Asian Countries, Asan World Prize, Ezhuthachan Award, Sahitya Academy Award, Vayalar Award and Kerala Sahitya Academy Award.

Kamala Das is a poet of many facets and moods. She is a poet of free love. Love is the lynch - pin round which the poetry of Kamala Das revolves. Her unfilled need for love is the main treatment in her poems. Love is a complex and multi - dimensional human experience in her poetry. It has physical, emotional and spiritual moods in the poetry of kamala Das. Love and hate are often neighbors in her poetry. The theme of alienation is also present in the poems written by her. Because of her disillusionment and alienation from this physical world, she gives the note of protest with feminism in her poetry. Apart from these themes, the theme of glorifying the womanhood is also grabbing our attention. Her poems are mainly concerned with her uncaring husband, her childhood, her marriage, love, life and her intimacy others. Kamala Das delights in celebrating herself in her essential feminine self. Kamala Das is not only a poet of Indian English language, but she is an age herself.

The treatment of man - woman relationship is the main and most important theme of the poems of Kamala Das. Although the treatment of man - woman relationship in her poetry is something subjective, but it is also true for general life of common man common woman. In her famous poem - The Freaks ', Kamala Das talks about the disgust relationship of a husband and wife. In this poem she concludes about the base of the husband - wife relationships in the following lines:

- But, they only wander, tripping Idly over puddles of Desire - can ' t this man with Nimble finger - tips unleash Nothing more alive than the Skin ' s lazy hungers? -

Here she has the view that only physical relation cannot give a perfect touch to a man - woman i. e. a husband - wife relationship. She asks:

- Who can Help us who have lived so long And have failed in love? -

Meaning is that love is necessary to build a healthy and long lasting relationship between anyone. Only physical relationship is not able to bind the two persons.

In her another poem - The Sunshine Cat ', she also talks about the same kind of loveless relationship of the man and woman. She complains:

- - the man she loved who loved her not enough -

the husband who neither loved nor used her

and concludes the fate of this loveless bond of man - woman relationship in the following way: - a bed made soft with tears and she lay there weeping.. -

Hence, in the poetry of kamala das, she strongly recommends that the presence of love is necessary to make any kind of healthy and long lasting relationship between man and woman. Whether it is a bond of husband and wife or lover and beloved or it is bond of mother and son, all types of man - woman relationship can be made only by a bond of love.

Learning Spanish Like Crazy My Learning Spanish Story

Learning Spanish Like Crazy is not my quantity one choice for me personally, and let me tell you why.

I started teaching myself Spanish about 1 1 / 2 years ago beginning with Pimsleur; I down all 4 levels of Pimsleur and have since used Platiquemos, Michel Thomas, and Learning Spanish Like Crazy. I personally believe that Platiquemos is the best program for me over I fully want to reach full native fluency AND I have the necessary 2 hours a day to devote to the program for the required 6 - 8 months that it will take to complete it - - that ' s the catch, and the reason I suspect that Platiquemos ( a cleaned up version of FSI Spanish ) is probably not the best choice for most people.

I do have to say that I believe you should try multiple programs at the same time because the overlap will REALLY help to accelerate the learning process. I began using Level One of Learning Spanish Like Crazy when I was half way through Level 3 of Pimsleur Spanish, and the fact that I was using both programs at the same time, hearing the same material two different ways, learning new material from each one that the other one didn ' t have, and last but not least doubling the amount of time I was practicing Spanish everyday REALLY helped me. I do have to say that I feel like I learned far more from level 1 of Learning Spanish Like Crazy than I did from all 4 levels of Pimsleur; also, LSLC actually uses the same teaching method as Pimsleur, which is an EXCELLENT method, but the cram in a LOT more material in the form of vocabulary AND grammar lessons that you don ' t get in Pimsleur.

Learning Spanish Like Crazy is available as an entirely digital download with MP3 audio files and a written transcript of all spoken dialogue in a pdf file, or you can order it on CDs and have LSLC mailed to you at an additional cost.

Make Your Life A Story To Tell

In progression to live the most fulfilled life, you have to conscious it and doing the populous varied joys of it. It ' s so easy to get stuck just living the everyday mundane tasks. The moments when life offers the chance to practice something new, most people commonly avow their resilient thoughts of fear of lapse and question to finish them and store them doing only what we know. This is known as the secure route, which at times is a beneficial route but not often if you want to live an exciting life.

There is a way of thinking or a attitude that I have followed right through my life. Following this way of thinking has given me a richly rewarding life. It ' s simply, ' Live your life so it ' s a story to tell '. When you think like this, fear tends to take a back seat, and your a lot braver to try new and different things. Thinking like this causes you to become an interesting person and enables you to live your best life.

' Live your life so it ' s a story to tell ' has given me many experiences and as a result lots of insightful wisdom I can share with others. As someone who in their teenage existence was very shy and felt I had zilch to offer or talk about this was an essential philosophy for me to espouse to transform the beliefs I had about myself and what I could offer. ' Live your life so it ' s a story to tell ' has been a giant engineer of courage for me. It makes me step up to the plate and just do it. Thus, I ' ve producedstories of worldwide adventures, dare - devil experiences, profitable investments, disastrous investments, entrepreneur activities, friendships across numerous countries, trying new foods, sports and activities and so on.

I ' ve also found one of the most empowering things about this philosophy, is it assists you to get over those awful times in your life. When things go wrong for me, I often think ' Well I guess I ' ve now got a story to tell. ' This is so empowering as it allows you get over it. You recognize the real account of the tale is now finished and you can move on to better things. It allows you to take something positive from the negative.

Enrich your life and make it rewarding. The next time your faced with a decision or an opportunity to do something a little different, out of the box or your comfort zone, take control of your fears and doubts by saying " Why not? At least it will be a story to tell! "

Lost In Shangri - la A True Story Of Survival, Adventure, Most Incredible Rescue Mission Of Ww Ii

It was near the extent of World War II and a mixed crowd of 24 WACS and soldiers boarded a C - 47 - the Horde Air Corps workhorse aircraft - for a trip through " Shangri - La " since they would see it from the air but who knows what happened, the C - 47 went down in the middle of the New Guinea tangle that was inhabited variously by the Japanese and maddened tribesmen recognized owing to the Dani.

Mitchell Zuckoff ' s account of their unpleasant tale of survival, despite grievous wounds and loss is an noted peruse that has you on the edge of your seat from takeoff to the crash station 21 or 24 people are killed.

Two womanliness and a woman, all horribly maimed one way or another, faced the trackless New Guinea jungle with no food, little or no water and no way to contact their headquarters. It seemed to be a case of whether the Japanese or the Dani, rumored to be a cannibalistic, as well as a brutal tribe.

If this had happened earlier in the war, it is highly unlikely there would have been any survivors and if there were they would either have been guests of the Japanese, who were known to covet New Guinea until almost the end of the war, grudgingly pulling divisions out to fight the U. S. when they landed on Guadalcanal, Tulagi, Saipan, Tinian, Iwo Jima and more. The vision of the Japanese General Staff was one with horseblinders. They could only see two major campaigns, the Manchukuo ( China ) campaign where upwards of 25 divisions were still held in reserve for China use and then there were the divisions that were committed to the New Guinea campaign, so the three survivors of the crash faced, even at this late stage of the war, the odds against the survival of three severely injured military personnel on a sightseeing flight were little or none.

It took the bravery of a U. S. paratrooper unit, who planned and executed the rescue of the survivors of the " Shangri - La " flight, to ensure that they were rescued to tell their tale.

That the tale was told by Zuckoff is also a bonus. Zuckoff is known for the thoroughness of his research and his ability to tell a tale from that research. He humanized the characters and gave this story the punch it needed to make it an Amazon Book of the Month selection, at the very least.

Perhaps because Zuckoff has the ability to make his characters step off the page and into your mind ' s eye, the " Shangri - La " flight assumes its place among the many great, historic rescue missions of the World War. The real heroes, here, though, are the paratroopers, all volunteers, who went in and pulled out the survivors and the others who didn ' t make it.

This is a great summertime read whether you are reading it on your Kindle or in hardback because it will keep you turning the pages right until the end. Not many historians are also storytellers, too, but Zuckoff is the lucky combination of the two and the reader is the beneficiary.
