Rituparna Ghosh Golpo is the Bengali word for stories. It is a curious little word, both a verb and a noun at the same time.

When her grandmother told her stories she would kick her legs in the air fighting sleep before it wrapped her in. Golpo, the joy of oral storytelling returned to Rituparna's life as a mother.

]]> episodic no Rituparna Ghosh contact@yourstorybag.com no full Season 2 | Ep 52 | The Myth of Sisyphus | A Greek Myth Season 2 | Ep 52 | The Myth of Sisyphus | A Greek Myth Rituparna Ghosh I end this season with a story that is close to me. I read this one as a young student of Literature and found it echoing through many of the things that have 'repeated' in my life!

When does a task become a punishment? When does an endless loop feel overbearing? When and how do you find purpose in something that doesn't seem to end?

Listen to this one...

I will be back in March, until then, I am busy chasing for stories...

In ways, I am glad I waited to put this episode together. My response of the story changed after a visit to the Partition Museum earlier this week and I cannot ignore the metaphor that speaks to me.

I don’t imagine you will retell Dividing the Goose in your history class, but I do hope you will read it like a metaphor.

It is a great story to retell in the maths classroom though!

When you retell this story in the living room or boardroom, consider how you divide responsibilities, ownership, losses and profits at home and in your organisations.

At the face of it, this is a story seeped in patriarchy. It is easy to overlook it, but I chose to retell it to enable immersive conversations in the Classroom, Living Room and the Boardroom.

Remember to listen to the original story so you can make out the differences.

A tale so popular that Panchantra, Aesop Fables, Jataka Tales, Katha Sarit Sagar all have versions of this.

A cautionary tale that warns the 'talkative' to not talk out of turn, I think we have always misunderstood this story.

Unity, a virtue as old as the ages, this adage has been illustrated in teaching tales and fables. They have also been retold in history, art and popular culture.

Growing up as a child in India of the 1980's, this was one of my most favourite films.

As a means to reinforce the need for national integration, this simple children's film is still a big part of India's psyche. And yet, just like the story, the film and the shared message in both, I wonder, why do we choose to divide over being united.

I want you to listen to this story and retell it in the classroom, living room and boardroom...identify what keeps you together and what divides you!

They stories have survived the times, been passed on orally for centuries, instructed and inspired listeners in every era.

While it is easy to tell a fable and prescribe a moral, I feel its power is better utilised when it is told to invite introspection, dialogue and discovery.

Listen to The Peasant and the Apple Tree in your Classroom to discuss about trees that don't flower, or introduce this story in your Living Room to reassure a late bloomer in the family, or use this story in the Boardroom to have a difficult conversation about an underperforming business, team or employee.

You have surely heard the proverb before! Here is the story that inspired English writer and George Herbert to write it.

A crisp story that will help you gently nudge conversations around procastination, be careful when retelling this story in the Classroom, Living Room or Boardroom. Refrain from from telling it as a prescriptive, precautionary-tale. Don’t use this story to instil a sense of foreboding, failure or defeat in your listener.

Instead, use it to understand what is stopping your child, sister or colleague from taking the right steps. For all you know, they are unable to take the first step. Help them lay the steps out and take action.

The moon has charmed humans forever, we have always tried to reach for the moon, to see what lies in the glittering and shimmering land of craters. This pourquoi tale from Africa is a living proof of that.

While the world celebrated ISRO’s historical landing of Chandrayan - 3, this story is an additional metaphor for you to retell.

Enjoy the story and retell it in the Classroom, LivingRoom and Boardroom. Listen to the story and dip into the additional resources for ideas.

Like always, this story resonates equally within the classroom, living room and boardroom.

As a storyteller I feel deeply indebted to folklorists who have gathered these stories from authentic sources to tell them in books and anthologies.

I asked a room full of IT professionals.

"Emperor's New Clothes" was the story that I heard in my first corporate workshop.

"Does the story speak to you today?" I asked.

"More than it did in my childhood," came the reply.

This was in 2014.

Since then, Emperor's New Clothes has been in my story bag, amongst the few fairy tales that I tell.

This is a valuable story in every audience. Go ahead and enjoy this one!

Watch stories from Ganga Utsav:

Life on A River -

Life on a River is a YSB Original Story written & performed at Ganga Utsav 2020. This is a YSB Original story. No reproduction / retelling is allowed.

This is the story of two generations of fisherman who are divided and united by the river Ganga. One stands on the banks of the river that looked at the river as the giver, the other stands on the bank of the river where he is the taker. Between the two generations of fishermen, between a grandfather and his grandson, who wins?

This story is based on the lives of fishermen living along the Ganga. While touching upon the realities of the fisherman community, the fishing trade, economics and livelihood, this is a story based on research and real-life events.

For Karo & Koel -

The Tribals of Jharkhand have fought for 'jal, jungle & jameen' for hundreds of years. Their struggles of resistance are born out of the myths, legends & folklore that have fuelled tribals to defend their water bodies, the forests & their land. What are those stories? Are the stories meant to inspire the Tribals only? Listen to this original story that brings together myths, legends & folklore with contemporary fiction.

This story was originally written & performed at Ganga Utsav 2021. This is a YSB Original story. No reproduction / retelling is allowed.

The stories make you laugh, make you think, and question something that you know. If told right, every story will give you something to talk about.

In the previous season, we had a story, The Smell of Bread, another Nasruddin Story that opens up interesting thoughts and conversations about money and compensation.

"How Far Does my Voice Go?" is perhaps the shortest story on this podcast!!

All it takes is 100 seconds of storytelling to take a story like this to your Classroom, Living Room or Boardroom.

Listen to this story and my thoughts AFTER it to find some interesting ways to trigger conversations.

"How Far Does my Voice Go?" is also a question that I asked myself.

How far does the sound waves of THIS PODCAST go? Listen to the Episode to find out the list of countries where listeners listen to these stories!!

This is one of the few proverbs that has an 'original' story attached with it. Or at least, that's how I found it and so did the writer / storyteller who wrote the book I found it in.

Proverbs, idioms or Corporate Jargons are extremely popular in everyday vocabulary. By sharing a proverb, a common phrase, or a jargon you tend to create a sense of shared understanding. However, what's more interesting is when you SHOW what you mean with a story.

]]> <p>Kokras Kuni Zang is a Kashmiri Proverb that means &#34;an adamant / stubborn person.&#34;</p><p>This is one of the few proverbs that has an &#39;original&#39; story attached with it. Or at least, that&#39;s how I found it and so did the writer / storyteller who wrote the book I found it in.</p><p>Proverbs, idioms or Corporate Jargons are extremely popular in everyday vocabulary. By sharing a proverb, a common phrase, or a jargon you tend to create a sense of shared understanding. However, what&#39;s more interesting is when you SHOW what you mean with a story.</p><p>Enjoy this episode of the podcast where we speak in terms of proverbs and jargons and how to engage your listeners <em>The Storied Way! </em></p><p><em>******</em></p><p>𝙂𝙤𝙡𝙥𝙤: 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝘼𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙗𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚, 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙢, 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙍𝙤𝙤𝙢 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙤𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙢.

In the process of translating this story I noticed some finer nuances about the Mountain and his personality that I had overlooked earlier.

Here is an example of Story Pedagogy with concepts of Geography.

In the Living Room, retell this story to talk about growing up!

At the workplace, use this story to trigger ideas of Leadership, Mentorship and Ambition.

And true to every other story in this podcast, this one will trigger conversations, introspections and discussions.

There is a WOLF in this one...two, in fact! And like every other story about wolves, I suspect these are NOT the bad ones. I would rather have you listen to this story and tell me what do you think.

In the classroom, use this story to study the themes of farm animals, building a home, a fun folktale that has elements of a cumulative tale.

In the Living Room, talk about YOUR home. How did you and your family make a home out of a house? How did your family deal with challenges, or the wolves who threatened your home?

In the Boardroom, let this be a story to discuss what makes your team an A-Team? Who brings what to the table? How do you complement your skills?

If you're an Entrepreneur, then use this story to introspect the kind of co-founder and team that you will put together to make your dream business.

I remember telling this story in a workshop with a non-profit that was working with a rural community. We were exploring stories (real and traditional) that talk about community problem solving.

Right now, I am working with a multinational in India that looks at water projects as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility. The stories from their field is a wonderful companion to this traditional folktale for a lesson on water conservation for school students.

Papa God's Well is a story about authority, leadership and power. It is a story of what happens when you yield your power with an iron fist.

Listen to Papa God's Well and retell it in the Classroom, Living Room and Boardroom with the strategies mentioned in the podcast.

]]> <p><strong>Papa God&#39;s Well </strong>is an Haitian Folktale that I discovered in<strong> Dr Margaret Read MacDonald&#39;s Book</strong> <a href="https://www.amazon.in/Earth-Care-Margaret-Read-MacDonald/dp/0874837847" rel="nofollow"><strong>Earth Care </strong></a></p><p>I remember telling this story in a workshop with a non-profit that was working with a rural community. We were exploring stories (real and traditional) that talk about community problem solving. </p><p>Right now, I am working with a multinational in India that looks at water projects as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility. The stories from their field is a wonderful companion to this traditional folktale for a lesson on water conservation for school students. </p><p>Papa God&#39;s Well is a story about authority, leadership and power. It is a story of what happens when you yield your power with an iron fist. </p><p>Listen to Papa God&#39;s Well and retell it in the Classroom, Living Room and Boardroom with the strategies mentioned in the podcast. </p><p>Listen in! </p><p>********* </p><p>𝙂𝙤𝙡𝙥𝙤: 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝘼𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙗𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚, 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙢, 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙍𝙤𝙤𝙢 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙤𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙢.

You cannot pick up a folktale to tell without passing it through the gender lens.

At the face of it, this is a story that I wouldn't tell. But today I am.

There are many things about this story that's disturbing.

I have included it in this podcast, just because it IS an important story that we should listen and talk about.

Here are a few links that will help you bridge meaningful conversations around Women's Rights, Gender, Politics and Inclusion.

When is it the farthest? When is it the closest? Does it seem close and far at the same time?

The Sun, is a Chinese Tale that is versatile in the classroom. From Primary, to Middle to Senior School, this ONE story can be told and retold to introduce, teach and reinforce concepts of Sun, Latitude - Longitude, Solar Energy, Time, Distance and Trignometry!

This is an example of what we call, Hook - a - Tale (a story that intrigues) and Story-Fix (a story that poses a problem). Tell this one at the right time of the teaching journey and you will see how it can used and reused over and over again.

The ones who tell stories to children, to families at dinner tables and colleagues & clients at business meetings.

The ones who I imagine are spreading the story dust gathered from this podcast across classrooms, living rooms and boardrooms.

Here is a story that will warn you about the dangers of telling a rambling, unprepared, non-sensical story. As much as it is entertaining, telling an unprepared story won't give you the wins you want. Wondering why are your stories not working with. your audience? This story may hold the clue!

Unlike the storyteller in this story, an unstructured narrative won't help you make a business point, inspire a class, get you a job, get an investment, or attract listeners when on a stage.

If anything at all, this is a story that will warn you about the possibility of Wasteful Storytelling.

So before you set out to tell a story...prepare well.

Was it The Boy Who Cried Wolf?

Teaching someone to say the truth is a tricky task. Understanding what is a lie and when is it okay to lie and when not is even tougher. Have you ever wondered when and how did you learn to lie? Yes, I am assuming that like me, you too have sinned and lied at some point of time in your life.

To be human is to lie. And we all lie when we have to. Sometimes they are small lies. Sometimes they are big lies. Sometimes we lie to win. Sometimes we lie to hide our loss. The fact that we tell and accept each others lies is what makes us co-exist.

Lying is a sensitive topic. No one likes to be called a liar, whether in the classroom, in the living room or in the boardroom. Take this story to any space and it will make a few people uncomfortable.

The trick is how to talk about lying without making anyone feel like you’re pointing a finger at them? 

I love this story because it doesn't moralise and tell you which of the two values / virtues is loftier. It ends rather ambivalently. You need to have a conversation with the listener to make sense of it.

If you want to explore complex themes of truth, lies, integrity, ethics and honesty, whether in the Classroom, Living Room or Boardroom, begin with THIS STORY.

I am the protagonist and I have lived like him for years, feeling ashamed of my weakness with numbers. I have struggled for years with mathematics, find it difficult to remember numbers, count, manage money and talk about it with people.

I have lived for years telling myself that I am a DONKEY when it comes to numbers!

The 8th Donkey is a gentle tribute to the defenceless donkey who has been ridiculed for years in every story about it!

The 8th Donkey is a fantastic story in a maths class, in the living room and boardroom if you can tell it from a place of empathy.

Go on and listen to this today!

Plus, there is a BONUS Video version of The 8th Donkey! I told you, it is one of my favourite stories to tell!

Enjoy this one!

Two Goats on the Bridge is a popular fable that has been used to reminder listeners about conflict. I have been telling it to trigger conversations and stories.

Earlier this week in a #BusinessStorytelling Training, we simulated this story with an intimate listening and storytelling experience. The bridge is transformed into a story bridge, finding common ground that has to be co-created between two individuals. While I suggested a story strategy to conduct one-on-one reviews the storied way, this is a great story that flows into any space where there are people at loggerheads. Between children, adults, teachers, families and workplaces, conflicts between individuals, teams and communities is inevitable.

Creating a common ground with shared stories is a ONE way to bring people together.

Listen to this story and tell me what do you think?

If you ask me, I will always tell, it's "The Storied Way"!

What do I mean by that?

Well, here is a story just for that!

The Right Way is a story that I have pulled out from my workshop & training content material. In my business / organisational / corporate trainings I often use tales such as this one. I call them 'Bridge Stories'.

How do I use these bridge stories, and how can you retell it within the context of a boardroom, classroom or living room? I share a few scenarios with you.

The story takes only 2:30 mins to tell! What is your excuse for NOT telling it?

If you do tell it, remember to share your story about it!

And if you need some help in telling this story in your world? Come, talk to me!

What do you do when you are in a competition & you know that the odds are against you? Would you strive to win, play fair, or find any means to end up as winner? What you choose is YOUR choice. The Flying Contest is a story that throws up interesting conversations on contrasts, comparisons and competitions.

The Flying Contest is from Suriname, one of the traditional stories that African Slaves brought with them. Within that cultural context, the significance of this story is immense. However, if you choose to retell the story in a sports field, living room or boardroom, there will be lots of interesting things to talk about. I share some of my hooks and anchors in the podcast.

This story also reminds me of one of my earliest stories, Leader of the Birds, one in which all birds (like in this one) want a leader and the lion asks each bird to tell him why should he choose one. Each bird steps forward to talk about his / her virtue making it difficult for the Lion to choose the most appropriate leader. While there is no contest in that version, the lion's decision is guided by something else all together. Watch an old LIVE Recording of Leader of the Birds on our YouTube Channel. This one is in Hindi, and without subtitles. If you listen carefully, you will understand it.

It's a clever tale that is both hilarious as is serious. If told well, this story will fit in to business conversations where risk is a topic of discussion.

Listen to A Drop of Honey and tell me what do you think!

A small word of caution for the stories in the podcast. In no way am I ‘moralising’ any of these stories. I am not a champion of morals, and I strongly discourage using stories to teach or prescribe a moral to children or adults.

In this podcast, I am trying to give you a context of where and how this and any other story in this podcast can be used to start a conversation. A story is a great hook for dialogue. Play this story out, or use it as a bridge to initial conversation with your student, family, a colleague or client. I champion a 2-way dialogue between you the teller and your listener. So no, don’t try to package a moral or message with these stories. Be open to interpretation. Don’t be threatened by it!!

And if you are still lost for ideas, just listen…the story will speak to you when the time is right.

If you want to talk to me, share your thoughts about these stories, or want to know HOW you can retell these stories in your work, just write to me at contact@yourstorybag.com

I told this story for the first time in 2018 at a corporate event. I was invited to tell a story and bring the employees together in a dialogue.

Listen to my version of The Stone Soup, in today's podcast.

This story is one of the stories I will share with you on World Storytelling Day 2023.

Take this story for example:

I read this first in an anthology of food tales. When I read the story in context of food tales, I was reminded of the significance of food and it being a cultural indicator. When I went looking for another version of this story, I discovered it on a website that seeks to preserve the cultural practices of the indigenous tribe that this story belongs to. In that context, this story is a gentle reminder of humans, communities and the nature of collective wisdom.

If you are telling this story in a classroom, especially to young children, be imaginative with your telling! The humour in the story comes from the fact that the animals would roast their hunt anyway, despite. that they find reasons to not share nails, scales or skin! When you tell your story, don't spell it out...let the children spot this themselves. Use the story to talk about food and how humans & animals find their food. Blend in lessons of social customs, traditional foods and find an opportunity to weave in a class picnic with multi-cultural cuisines! For older classes, make this a story about Indigenous Tribes and their lives in nature. Weave in lessons on food security, economics and social structures.

This is an interesting tale in #OrganisationalStorytelling handbook, a ready-to-tell-tale that will invite employees to share their wisdom. Stories die if they are not told. They become stale and perish if not shared and retold. But how do you invite people to think of a story to tell? This one is a good start.

In my last episode, I mentioned that I am toying with the idea of an e-book on the stories in this podcast. This week, I have an update! I have a structure for the book & I hope to finalise it before I get into the next episode.

We were all trying to draw our lines longer to make the others shorter.

I think the memory of that life triggered the thought behind this story for me. Perhaps Emperor Akbar had a similar dilemma on how to outdo the legacy of his ancestors, Babur and Humayun? That Akbar was called Akbar the Great is perhaps a testimony to his own decision to draw his line longer than that of the Mughal rulers before him. Who knows?

Listen to this story and tell me what do you think of it.

I am toying with the idea of an e-book with an accompanying playbook to help you make better use of these stories in the Classroom, LivingRoom and Boardroom. If you have been listening to these stories, I want your feedback!

In this episode I retell the Jamaican version of Anansi & the Drum of Common Sense

We all need our share of common & uncommon sense. Agree?

Listen to the story and share some of your uncommon stories.

It almost runs like a thriller! Make this a companion story with Hans Christian Andersan's Shilling and here you have a story that can trigger conversations about money, its history, its purpose and its management.

What's the value of money, how we earn it, spend it, share it, grow it and preserve it. 

Listen to this story to discover some additional ideas on how to use this story in the Classroom, Living Room & the Boardroom!

Who says, a story has to stay in the realm of the listening experience. A good story triggers introspection, conversation and action. Here in this podcast, each story is handpicked and retold to suit a plethora of possibilities in the classroom, living room and the boardroom.

With every story I share some of my ideas, but if you want more actionable steps on using these stories more strategically, remember I am just a call way.

The news and sights coming in the aftermath of the earthquake are devastating.

This story comes from Aleppo in Syria, one of the parts worst affected by the earthquake.

A few weeks ago we had a Turkish story on the podcast and today, this wisdom tale from Syria is a reminder of the stories that once came from the land.

This week I went searching for Syrian Folktale's and I found Samir Tahhan's anthology of folktales the ONLY accessible collection in English. The preface carries the translator's notes of how the stories were collected and gathered. If not for Samir Tahhan's relentless work, we would not have the stories to listen to.

Master Karshush's Tarbush is a bitter-sweet tale, that will speak to masters and amateurs alike. It is a story that will open conversations between talent and acquired wisdom. The tussle of who is right between those wiser in years and those with acquired wisdom between the ears! It is about leaders and juniors, its about superiority and enforcement of it. It is about acceptance that someone else may be more talented, gifted and wiser than you.

Where and how will you retell this folktale? I will leave that to you.

If you do, keep Syria and Turkey in your thoughts.

Rooted in the native philosophy of Taoism, this Chinese Fairy Tale will ask you to consider the question who bears the fruit and who enjoys it?

This story, like every other story in this podcast is a conversation starter. It touches upon complex ideas likes haves versus have-nots, the balance of power and influence, of generosity, kindness and ownership, of hard work and loss, it talks of resources that we own, create and share, it has ideas of groupism, favouritism, compensation and reward, it has notions of justice, your sense of right and wrong, and a magical process of germination, consumption and destruction. 

This is one of the many tales in folk literature that talks about the mystical powers of nature. Who is the nurturer, the user and who its destroyer?

Try replacing the fruit 'pear' with something else like wisdom, kindness, money, power, joy or anything else that is hoarded and seldom shared. You will have a new story!

For you a new year may be your birthday, the turn of the calendar year or the financial year, a new beginning or a day when you leave the old to begin the new.

This week, I have the perfect new year story that you can listen & share in the classroom, living room or the boardroom. The Twelve Months is a Greek Folktale with a predictable end. In this story, I don’t really end the story and so I invite you to tell it back to me.

Like with other stories in this podcast, this story is most useful as a trigger inviting listeners to share their stories, plans and aspirations for the new year. How you look at the 12 months that have gone by or the 12 that you will begin now, is all that matters.

Here’s wishing the listeners of the podcast a very Happy New Year. This week, we opened the podcast to listener reviews. Our first reviewer is Ruchi Arora, a Yoga enthusiast, an entrepreneur and a storyteller. Ruchi is one of the members of YSB Tribe of Storytellers. If you are a listener of the podcast, I would love to hear from you. We are a month into the second season of this podcast and I am excited to share stories all along the year.

It is a special kind of story that binds our existence with the place where we belong. It helps us validate that the balance between the earth and us is sacred for all times.

The Story of the Earth & Sky at one level is a Creation Myth, a Nature Tale that tells us about how the world came to be the way as it is today.

At another level, if you read the story closely, it is about two individuals who need space and freedom to exist without the other. 

This story, like every other story in this podcast can be told in the Classroom, Living Room or Boardroom to trigger conversations.

Listen to the story closely and find some of my suggestions towards the end.

Did the stories of his childhood shape him to be the player he is?

I realised that I don’t have an Argentinian Story and so I went looking for one. And this is the ONE that instantly spoke to me.

The Legend of Marianna, her stories and golden nuggets reminded me of the importance of a storyteller in our communities. It reminded me that each one of us has a repository of stories and unless we gather, document and archive them they will be lost for ever.

What are you doing about your family stories?

Do you make an attempt to document your personal stories?

How are you archiving your organisational history?

This holiday season, gather up to share stories with one another. Find the Marianna in your home, your community, your organisation. Or become the Marianna for a day...

Do you think Lionel Messi heard The Legend of Marianna as a child? I wouldn't know...

But as you listen to this story, tell me which are the stories that shaped you to be who you are today? You can tell me that, right? I'd love to know!

If you surrender to the charm of a love story, you will see this one as a story of love & deception. A story about about the bold & the beautiful. But there are other ways to listen to the story. 

With themes of #love #deception #trust #rejection #gender #conflict #hierarchy #superiority #challenge #competition #surrender The Legend of Gwashbrari can be told and retold in many ways.

Take it like a story that you can share with young adults who are having their first brush with love.

Or alter it gently to make it a story about inter-generational conflict within a family.

Or tell the story within a team to bring discussions about rivalry, competition, hierarchy or pride.

The story is now yours to retell.

If you are sharing these stories in your business, life and work, drop me a line and tell me how did you use it! You can choose to listen to this story with someone, or retell the story in your own way.

We had another story in the list, but we moved it aside because a few listeners asked for more Chelm stories.

In the Pits is a story that reminds me of all the mistakes we make and how we cover them up with another mistake. Sometimes our solution finding mechanism is all wrong and we take decisions without thinking of the consequences.

Listen to this story, share it with your child, partner, family, team, colleague or a listener who you want to talk about problems and solutions. With this story, I share a few ideas on HOW you can use this story to trigger conversations. The rest, I leave it up to you!

In this episode I also share my intent behind telling these stories. Why do I feel we need stories to trigger conversations, and what can stories do for you?

It's curious how stories speak to me. I found this story and I had been itching to share it in some form.

So here we are, with Chelm Justice - A Jewish Folktale as Season 2, Episode 1 of Golpo: Stories from Around the World

Chelm is a fictional city in traditional Jewish stories where people are known for their stupidity. Like with other legends, there are string of 'Stupidity Tales'! I find these an excellent contrast to Wisdom Tales. So while we share wisdom tales, sharing Tales of Stupidity is equally important.

Listen to the story and share it with someone. Talk about the many stupidities that we have gathered in our lives. I'd really love it if the story triggers thoughts, memories and conversations.
