How to write a good story : Interpretation and analysis—
(1) Power of expression does not mean English or Hindi, it would only mean the ability to convey
the way you want. If you are able to convey whatever is expected from you keeping in mind your
socioeconomic background then your expression will be termed O.K.
(2) When the Hero identification is specific, clear, further suiting your situation, crisis or plot and
even relevant to it then it is again O.K. contrary to this when the hero identification is not relevant to the
situation then either it will become vague, confused, irrelevant or exaggerated introduction. Resultantly
it will not amount to be a desirable story.
Exaggerated would mean, when you use superlative degree to your hero,
like intelligent, brave, courageous, honest and even do not give the pose or impression creating introduction like
national champion, very popular, very dynamic etc.
(3) What is the task or aim before the hero. (Task means a problem, a crisis, risk, adventure,
challenge etc.) ‘Aim’ will illustrate a career, a target, an achievement that too in a positive context.
(4) Need of a medico for the treatment or operation for the severe disease, then what type of
medicine is required (give specification of the medicine and disease).

A house is on fire, pagdandi and trees are shown.
(5) What is the difficulty in finding the medicine, (here you have to create the stress) creating the
stress or the degree of difficulty is the direct product of your imagination. Do not create more stress
than the stress is required or whatever that particular situation allows to imagine. If no other human help
is available then utilise the clue, because imagination does not happen in vacuum but it only exists in
clue. The further interpretation of ‘clue’ in a scene requires, use of your observation to find the clue
from the situation itself. Situation itself provides the environment, if nothing is there except a house
then imagine, what can be expected to be there as situation allows. I will exemplify as under—
Fire Scene—A house is on fire. Nothing is around. No human movement is around except some
trees, pagdandi. Here the nature or status of house, trees and pagdandi will become the clue. This clue
explores a village environment and other houses may be at some distance and not shown beside the
scene just to give stress to your imagination.
