army men and storytelling

the art of story telling is to be learnt from a army people.

(( the first paragraph of this blog has been lost since it came to me arnd 5:30 in the morning and if i had gotten up and written at that time , my parents will be shocked about a night out . If i ever get it back in my head i will add here))

My brother told me so many stories of his stay at northen glacier. Funny stories - example - some senior official will come in a helicopter to visit the post. My brother and other officer at post will stand on helipad along with indian national flag .When the Helicopter comes, it throws a hell lot of snow in their faces , while from inside the helicopter the senior official gives a thumbs up and leaves.

he told me stories of bravery - he saved 2 helicopter pilots from a crash. Saved one guy at advance post who got some attack of eplilepsy ,when no chopper support was available to that post.

and other genre like supernatural.

the army officer tells his story without any tailoring . Its almost like when he narrates he tells it like their is no other thing greater than the story itself, he aint trying to gain anything . Its just that he feels that story is to be shared, like some sailor who went on some voyage needs to tell his story type. His emotions are so real. This leads to a coherence (emotions, stories etc).


Their is this dilema always in me wether to tell a story or not. two main reasons are there for that. first , when i tell a story is the other person intersted ( with so much written on internet this is a big question) secondly if i tell stories of my own life their is always a risk of u trying to live your life like a story then( like instead of story telling as a result it becomes a cause). For this dilema also the result likes in the psyche of the army officer ( that infact was the reason to write this blog)


P.S - These stories my brother told not only to me but like all the people we met like relatives etc. Infact my brother saw some girl for marriage . It was a really getting boring and then my brother told these stories . By reading of faces i felt the girl had fallen instantly in love with my brother, While her parents especially her mother were too scared.

P.S 2- do u know why people want to become high post officer in army. so they can call a party and after all the initial party is done , they can start of with their story . If they are the senior most then no one can object to their story telling( even if some'1s kids cry he can give punishment to that officer - so good story hearing discipline in every kid).
