The power of storytelling

19/11/2017

What a turn out at the first StoryTellers Network meetup!

We tell stories. Stories of places and its people. We share our knowledge of art, craft, heritage, culture, bio-diversity, architecture etc. with travellers and local community members including children.

We volunteer to take children on heritage walks, we take them out with their teachers to know their own neighbourhood, about rivers, about passionate people who make a difference. We share our passion for stories with discerning travellers.

Story tellers in this network contribute their time for an hour or two, a week or anything that’s possible.
Except for the volunteering for schools, these storytellers earn money for the time they spent. A good supplementary source of income for anyone ranging from students to house wives to retired basically anyone who want to use their time creatively.
It’s a platform for those who like to write, research , document and tell stories.

Some of us are also part of 'Riverkeepers initiative' where we volunteer to teach kids how to swim and be comfortable with water (bodies) all around us. (hence reduce the drownings that we witness in a state like Kerala).

We have been doing this as part of trails from The Blue Yonder. Now trying to replicate it with scale and larger impact.

This is the bronze bas relief depicting the arrival of Governor Joseph François Dupleix in Pondicherry in 1742. It is behind French War Memorial.
It was carved during the 1930's by French sculptor Petit. A copy do exist in Paris, Inside Dupleix Street Primary School.

We have here a typical sample of colonial art.
Dupleix is standing as the new boss, while Pierre Benoist Dumas, his predecessor is bowing. Dupleix has the mobile strenght of French fleet. Dumas has behind him the heavy and exotic subcontinent. Elephants and modest people are bowing, as all India is supposed to do. The Indian merchants are just respectfully standing, but ready to bow.
They are the partners of French East India Company. Maybe we have among them Pedro Kanagaraya Mudaliar and Ananda Ranga Pillai...PC and write up : Narayana sankar
