As usual on that Sunday morning kids in my flat gathered around me. It's my habit to interact with kids through art classes or story sessions on Sundays. It was decided that today i should narrate spicy and gripping stories, So when i looked around to ensure all the kids were present,cleared my thought and started my story session, 'Once upon a time......"
"Sir, .....", it was Anoop, the big eyed son of Raman of third floor.
"Yes Anoop " I said
"Sir, why you always start the story with Once upon a time.... Cant we start a story in another way?"
"Yes, now a days some people are starting a fairy tale, "If I'm elected......"[

Like once upon a time, we used to use the word long long ago while we start the stories.
Once upon a time have a very long history. Nowadays it has changed. Several stories starts with another sentences.
Mary, what is your opinion about starting a story with 'long long Ago'?
Robert, It is also good way for starting the stories. :) :) :)
I love these words 'long long ago'. For, it makes me feel goong to te ancient periods.

Where are those story tellers?
Earlier grand parents used to tell stories of fantasies and ghosts and adventures. Now since atomic families are the latest fashion, chota bhim and tom are telling stories through cartoons. Can we expect "Once upon a time" from them....as both of these characters believe they are living in present!!!

True, that's why our children are devoid of childhood. They are deprived of their chidhood charms.

Reminds me of Chandamama stories most of which began with Once upon a time.....the places mentioned all seemed like some far off enchanting towns where people lived happily ever after ! Children these days may never have that kind of an experience where they get transported to a different imaginary fantasy world altogether
