Before the advent of writing, stories from folk tales, epics, history were communicated orally with gestures and expressions to leave a lasting imprint on listener’s mind. It was also a method to inculcate moral well being in human beings. Even though novel concepts of story telling have been introduced in contemporary times, traditional methods are still alive.
