Abstract: Where do stories come from? What is their purpose? In this crazy busy world, is there a place for stories? Why tell stories? Is there a way that we can incorporate narrative into our current professional lives— whether we are in the sciences or the humanities; in a large corporation or a small start up; as entrepreneurs and individuals? Do stories have a place in our ecosystem? And how do you tell stories? Using words, gestures and objects, Shoba Narayan, will discuss the power of storytelling using her latest book, “Katha: tell a story; sell a dream,” as a broad template.

Shoba this sounds like a great talk. Will anyone be able to record it and post audio/video (even low resolution / youtube) so your overseas readers/fans can appreciate? (I think it’s easy to record 1 or 2 hours of audio even on a basic cellphone these days, of course being IISC they may have a better solution.)
Thanks!
Will check RC
