Single Story

We all have listened to stories as kids. Now, as all grown-ups we think of 'other side' of the story. Well, there is more to what stories are and what effect they can have on individuals and societies.

Watch this video where Chimamanda Adichie tells how a 'single story' can affect ones views and opinions.

We all have opinions and beliefs but let us not base them on single story.

    What is a STORY..??
    It too is nothing but an opinion...(in my opinion..! What a recursive Self-reference...! Ad infinitum..!)...an interpretation of events, dreams, ideas by a certain person...!
