Delivering Emotion

At times, I would hear the mother’s side of it; at others, the father’s version.<br /> Its story telling would take place during intimate gatherings now and then, or sometimes even at the break of early dawn. Sometimes delivered with warm smiles, other times given with such heart stopping sincerity. But what is consistent, is the authenticity and the magnetic charm of it.</p> <p>Today, I become the storyteller, of that particular uncanny tale of which I am its result, with great will.``
