Sometimes it always festinates us that how  the stories which were told to us are being remembered generations to generations. Storytelling is a practice which is embedded very deep into Indian Folk culture thus promoting our oral lore heritage but beyond this and many other advantages of story telling the one resides in the dominance of scientific approach which is to sharpen our brain memory and to better functioning of our neurons.

                                 Signy Sheldon from Mcgill University published their paper in Journal of Neuroscience under which they state that storytelling alters our way of storing data into our minds depends how story is being told. The more precise the story will be in its vocabulary, practical places and situations, intricate details that provide quick reflexes to our neurons, the more reflective our memory will be.

                          According to one of the Hindu Editorial

Spin a yarn to ignite young minds, Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging(FMRI) states that, “These concepts(the concepts of storytelling)are mostly used for children with learning disabilities. But it shows us that stories help in getting the message across in a much wider way,”. Stories while they are being told or heard ignites and arranges the lab of factual knowledge within our minds and that’s how we through storytelling become more precise , accurate and unbidden.

                                     Apart than this there is also one Indianised idea which is related to morality or basic human values needed to sustain yourself within a society. The stories like Panchatantra, Baital pachisi, Singhasan Battisi even the epics like Mahabharat and Ramayana have been a long part of Indian Children Literature bridging the values of humanity and rectitude ethics. Storytelling necessarily doesn’t control our mind but it does control the flow of ideas thus not just sharpens our memory but also makes us more reflexive with more truthfulness. Stories either heard or told left a deep imprint of memories regarding people and places, the fact that we humans live more on memories than on neurons also make this argument more stronger that Storytelling is inevitable part of human Life.
