Point to Ponder


I saw X – Men Origins last week.
The 4th X men movie & prequel to the earlier three X – Men movies.
In the break saw prmos of Ice Age -3 & Terminator Salvation.
All very successful & popular movie series.
There are many more such series that Hollywood could boast of.


How many such series do we (Bollywood) have?
None excepting Krish & Dhoom & these too have been in the last 10 years.

Are Indians poor storytellers?
The amount of blatant plagiarism, lack of original story ideas & none noteworthy sequels / trilogies do point towards the same.

Guess we should include Story Writing as a subject, encourage children to let their imagination flow & write.
This rather than just reading , comprehending , memorizing & mastering theories , poems ,stories formulas already written by masters on various subject, which is what our current education system does.
How about Story Telling/Writing as a subject in the K-12 curriculum
