THERE IS NO VALIDATION OUTSIDE GOD... .. .By E PLUS The Storyteller. She told me there isn't any need for me to dream, that dreams are meant for those who have foresights and that foresights are not for blind people! She gave me my first major reality that life is the way you take it and that whatever you make out of it is your own 'Cup of tea."   She told me that it is okay to be inadequate and not to expect anything good in life! She told me that my potentials would amount to nothing and that my expectations would turn to dust. "If you ever think you would measure up in life, then you must be the greatest joker!" She told me. She told me I was her biggest challenge and I had to step down!!! Then, I realised, it was not about me after all! I realised she had her insecurities, her fears and doubts. She was the one on sinking sand, a victim of self denial, self worth and prejudice. A vulnerable prey! And every time she told me something,

THE GREEN EYED MONSTER... By E PLUS The Storyteller. He was my best friend, or so he taught! Or else How can you explain the outrage and uncontrollable emotions I had muddled up in my head, all in the name of vengeance...    Indeed, the 'devil walks in the dark!' and works hand in hand with the notorious 'Green eyed monster'. I have been a victim of exploitation and injustice all my life, and this accounts for the roller coaster of emotions! But I know, It wasn't intentional, I just..., I just...   Well, it all happened that fateful night, my best friend(Najite), had called me up for a concert- he wanted us to go and see one of the famous act of all times, he was so excited. Then I had the perfect plan(well, almost perfect) that would change everything, for the worse! I had always thought that being a victim of failed relationships was Najite's fault, all my ex girlfriends ended up with him!  They(all) wanted him, I can't say w

                        THE DAY I ASKED SOME STUDENTS IF THEY ENJOY READING.,   A Piece by E PLUS The Storyteller. So, I'm chatting with these awesome children during a session on World Book Reading Day, and as a Creative Writing Coach I sort to know how many of them actually love to read?  Naturally, I thought every hand would go up, but my presumption was absolutely wrong.  Some hands were still down! So this simply made me realise that there are children who do not find reading interesting!   Hmmm, as a "curious kitten" that I was, I proceeded to find out more about their reasons,  and these were the following discoveries amongst other personal reasons...          1. They get quite bored because of the kind of stories they are exposed to.    2.
