Chutzpah


The journey of a story oscillates in a spectrum of perspectives.
Sometimes it is in between few shades of colorful questions and answers.
At times, through the narrow pipeline of time;
It originates with a hypothesis and deduces to a result. 

Then what constitutes a good story? 
It starts with the definition of a subjective entity. 
Maybe, a truth or a fact; maybe a lie and a point of view;
From a vantage point of someone’s personal experience…

Chiseled with instances, events or historical information
Between the deluge of data, information and knowledge;
Then the Insight reemphasizes the hypothesis 
Discounts the outliers from the boxed boundaries and travels again…

It touches the emotions and feelings of the readers
It convinces the logical mind and the irrational soul
And then it finds its parents and forges friendship in its path
It searches for a teacher to govern the values when it flows…

The constructs of the society then shape the chapters
The characters take birth or die while sailing in the chapters 
Sometimes it is linear if the time is kind enough to support
And elsewhere the memories recycle the layered kayfabe…

So what constitutes the good in the story? 
It depends on the honest mood of the storyteller
Like when you are hungry, you need food to pacify your senses
And when your senses are in your control, you can perceive your thoughts

It seems the thoughts shape the goodness in a story,
Your core unflinching values through your own life instances
Curve the tone in the story and set the pace for a new chapter
While the story meanders from one diagonal pole of your thought to another.

A good story is subjective but not nosy. A good story is not a prisoner of time.
The goodness in the story gives food to the hungry readers
It originates from a personal epiphany. It embraces the noises into the silent pages.
It just smells like the truth of our existence. It exists like a statue in a marble block.
