The Journey Times

'An acute observation, a happening around life that interests you, can make an interesting story. You may blow up a simple incident with your language skill and contrive a story.''The unwritten novels and stories float in a world of mind. An author happens to pass through them. One of these may fit into the groove of his mind, like a key in the lock. Upon engagement with the corresponding hiatus, the book empties its contents into it.''Sometimes, a power possesses you. It speaks through you. Some beings take possession of a capable mind, and make him write their own story.''There is a mart of wizards. It has a story lane in it. The shopkeepers sit with small beautiful velvety bundles—black, silver, cherry red, orange, blue, green, and golden—each contains either ariovel or a story, or even a poem. Generally, the passers-by in this charmed alley aie the story-tellers and poets.' 'Often a Santa Claus-like bei|j> passes on Ms sleigh drawn by his seven reindeers-,- He bestows gifts to the spectators wfi) stand along his trail. s may find tender saplings of novels and stories. They are to be watered and raised, ijrtd then shaped with industry to a handsome form.'Anand Kumar
