What's in a name ? 

 Storytelling is one of the most powerful means to express, teach, inspire. Stories allow us to connect with each other as human beings. Stories create magic and a sense of wonder. Storytelling helps you create/recreate stories that transport your listeners to a different world. They are experiencing what you experienced at that moment, feeling those same emotions that you felt. Isn’t that magical?  Some stories reflect a person’s journey while others are inspired by those surrounding us. Stories are all around us. Stories have always been a way to communicate. Before people learned how to write, they would tell each other stories. It takes you on a roller coaster ride of excitement, to fear, and everything in between. Stories allow people to connect with the message in a deeper, more meaningful way. That’s the power of storytelling.   We at LITKIDS would like to know your story and LITKIDS Express gives you the platform to share it with the world. It could be a real story close to your heart- about you or people you know, or a work of fiction, one that you would like to write about.     

Dia Bhojwani talks about her dilemma with her name. Indian names are based on a variety of systems and naming conventions, which vary from region to region. Names are also influenced by religion and caste and may come from epics. Most given names in India are intentionally chosen with a specific meaning, and many are acutely aware of the meaning of their name. It is common for people to be given names on the basis of horoscopes, usually provided by an astrologer. Dia brings in a lot of humor while talking about this very important Indian custom and how difficult it can be to live upto it.
