Children" (for teachers and other adults). 3) "Using Stories as a Teaching

सकता है क्या? आजतक
ख़ुद का कोई फ़ायदा
मुझसे तो
उठाया नहीं गया। ख़ैर

you're here for good stories then you could be
wrong. Stories doesn't require any storyteller to
tell them. They are capable enough to express themselves.
It is the pain of the storyteller, who needs
help of a story to vent it out. If you don't believe
then let's meet someday, I am sure once you'll
hear me out then you'll be compelled to tell your
story too. What
I am, is exactly, what I am not. Amazon and
Flipkart, they think they are selling my stories and
making profit out of it. Sometimes I wonder and
laugh that how can anyone can make profit out
of me, when I myself ain't capable to do so? I
am Lokesh Gulyani. Author of 06 Hindi-Fiction and
Poetry books. By profession, I am a consultant. I
live in Jaipur on weekends and I work in Bhopal on
weekdays. Whenever I feel like bored by playing with
words, I start to think of a new story
to wound myself
with greater pain. Services
