2. Does Mr.ANIRUDDHA ROY CHOUDHURY possess any different ideas from any one of us ?
Ans. You and we all see things as we walk on the path of life, and yet, it may be difficult for many from amongst us to analyse how the various things that we see in front of us can best serve the interests of society. Mr.ANIRUDDHA ROY CHOUDHURY has provided the team of STORYMONEYBAG.COM with that rare input called 'VISION' and the necessary guidance in that direction.
3. What is the utility of this site to society ?
Ans. Constant Promotion of the art of STORY WRITING ! We now are happy to be a part of a team that is taking up the challenge of tapping talent ; 'LATENT' as well as 'POTENTIAL' talent. After a test marketing drive, we now realise that there are too many people all over the world who possess the assets called 'IMAGINATION' , 'CREATIVITY' and 'EXPRESSION'. These assets are like water for they flow in the debts of our minds and in many cases they remain untapped. This is a serious loss to society. A lot many people do not realise that they possess the art of imagining,narrating or writing stories until they are coaxed or encouraged to do so. Stories such as real life experiences, or imaginary stories ; Childrens Stories, Science Fiction, Sci-Fi Fiction, Auto - biographies, Adult Stories(should not be obviously or intentionally pornographic in nature), Romantic Stories etc. The list would be endless.
4. What kind of people is this site tapping ?
Ans. The individuals imagining,narrating or writing stories surprisingly may be the most unexpected people. They may be you, or your next door neighbour, or any of the innumerable Sales Men who cook up stories for their bosses as a viable excuse for their non performance. They may be hen pecked husbands who forget to buy the groceries while on their way home. They may be school children who see little fairies floating out from their cupboards. They may be young ladies or boys or men who have that rare experience of 'falling in love' in a world that talks only of the absense of the same.
These are the people who we wish to tap because a lot many of them would live their mundane lives till the end and allow the abortion of potential stories which you and I and the rest of this wonderful world could have otherwise sat back and enjoyed.
