Storytelling to ME
When I hear the word “Storytelling”, the first thing to come to my mind is probably different than others. Storytelling to me isn’t my mother or father telling me story while tucking me into bed when I was a kid. My idea of storytelling is when me and my longtime friends are all together and […] -

Appreciating Past DS106 Stories
I chose to look at a final project entitled Swarley the Missing Dinosaur. The writer of the blog Christine starts with “Once upon a time” which I thought was funny because in my blog post I talked about how I think of this phrase when I think of storytelling. What was really funny was the […]

What is “storytelling”?
Like any word, “storytelling” may hold different meanings for different people. Personally, I think of stories as imaginative as well real life events. Telling these “stories” means presenting them to another person in a creative and unique fashion. And really a story can be about anything. It could range from the stereotypical dragons and princesses, […] -

Shapes of Stories;
After hearing Vonnegut’s talk on the “shape of stories,” I immediately thought of Wreck it Ralph by Disney (one of my all-time favorites). The story starts with Ralph, a video game character in the arcade “classic,” Fix It Felix Jr. In this game, Ralph destroys the front of an apartment building. Felix, Ralph’s counterpart, bounces […] -
A Look Into DS106 Past;
For this dive into the past, I chose to look Noir To Princesses? That’s Right. I loved how the author went through her ideas behind the characters. Her ideas for the shapes were something I would never have thought about but they were something she found meaning in. This story is special because of the […] -

Thoughts & Ideas on Digital Storytelling
When I think of the word storytelling, I think of my elementary school days. Distinctly in 1st grade, my teacher read stories while playing his guitar on Fridays. Every Friday, my fellow students and I would eagerly gather around him as he played and told a different story each time. He would strum his guitar … Continue reading Thoughts & Ideas on Digital Storytelling -

The shape of Stories
After watching Kurt Vonnegut’s video the Shape of Stories I started brainstorming different examples of stories that followed these patterns and then I decided on Goodbye Earl by the Dixie Chicks. A classic song and one of my favorites. I decided to do a drawing to visually represent the song much like Maya Eilam did in […]

Vonnegut’s Approach: Mary Barton and the Lizzie Bennet Diaries
After watching the video detailing Kurt Vonnegut’s approach to storytelling, I instantly knew which book I wanted to talk about in this post. I recently read Elizabeth Gaskell’s “Mary Barton” and absolutely loved the story. It fit perfectly with the story-line he described first – Start off feeling good, horrible thing(s) happen, overcome it in … Continue reading Vonnegut’s Approach: Mary Barton and the Lizzie Bennet Diaries -
What do I think Storytelling means?
When I think of storytelling I think of fairy tales and phrases such as “Once Upon a time” and “Happily Ever After.” I may just take this point of view being a girl and growing up being read and reading these kinds of stories, however I can grasp the idea that story telling is more […]

Quick Tips For Traveling This Monsoon
Sky is turning gray, lightening is glowing here and there and the breeze around is turning into gushing winds. It is time to welcome monsoon season in India. Although each part of India has a unique monsoon-pattern but the fun and problems are quite similar in each area. Water everywhere, cool weather sometimes, hot and humid unbearable weather the other. Traveling in such season is mostly avoided but it can also be the joyous season for avid travelers and a time to take out their raincoats and rain jackets!
If you are one of them, make your monsoon travel bliss with these quick tips!Go waterproof!
Waterproofing is essential if you are planning to step out in the monsoon season. Your umbrella will not provide enough protection from rains and puddles. Wear raincoats or rain jackets while stepping outside instead of taking an umbrella. On adventure travels, rain jackets prove to be a blessing, especially during torrential rains.
Apart from rain jackets, you also need to carry your stuff in a waterproof bag or a bag with rain cover, unless until you have plans of getting it drenched while walking in the rain. Waterproof bags or backpacks are available in multiple sizes hence you can pick the one of your preferred size.
- Wear cotton!Whether it is your underwear, socks or your t-shirt or tank top it should be cotton. Cotton has a tendency to dry quickly and absorb moisture from your body during hot and humid weather or in case, it comes in contact with rains.Sweating is common after rains due to humid weather and it can lead to serious rash problem if your clothing is not cotton. Also, try to keep several pairs of underwear and socks with you. Change them whenever they are too wet.- Carry caps & hats!Waterproof caps and hats are great for summer travel. They look stylish, protect you from rains and help you in keeping your ears and head warm. You can select between beanie caps, flat bill caps or any style that suits your personality as well as travel needs.
- Wear water repellent footwear!You will be doing a lot of walking in the rains hence make sure to get yourself a pair of water repellent footwear for the trip. It can be knee high boots, outdoor shoes or slippers. Adventure trips need high boots with sturdy structure and good grip that not only repels water but keep itself safe from it. You can go with gumboots or the ones that have waterproofed outing and comfortable cotton inner lining.
Even if you are traveling to warmer areas where wearing boots can be problematic, jelly shoes are best option for you!
It is all about keeping yourself comfortable while traveling. Pack yourself light and efficiently. Keep necessary things like medical box, matches, lighters, and eatables in plastic bags. You also need to carry a plastic sheet and a piece of rope with you along with knife on adventure travels. You never know where these things can come handy during monsoon travel!Author Bio:Minakshi Pharswal is a blogger working with one of India’s leading online fashion destination. Being a part of the Fashion industry, she loves to write about fashion and beauty trends along with travel tips for traveling in style. -
What storytelling means to me
When I think of a story-teller, the first thing that comes to mind is a group of people settled around a camp fire, exchanging tales both fictional and real. From there, I move on to picturing my bookshelves; each of the novels a result of someone sitting down and putting their thoughts and words onto … Continue reading What storytelling means to me -
