Cultures Stories

Bookshops are full these days of tales of a rich celebrity who travels across a mysteriously far away country in search of a spiritual awakening, or a historian's speculation of life 300 years ago in an ancient civilization that they can in no way know for sure is true. Whilst these accounts are fascinating, and provide, at times, beautiful insight into the worlds many miles away from where you currently sit, I always find its better to hear it from those who actually live it. To make you that little yellow man on google earth. To show you Our World by those who know it best.....you and me.

When students across the world are tested for their abilities to be accepted to the Elite Nations University (ENU), they are REALLY tested in every possible way. Their lives change for the absolute worst... well, atleast in most cases. Little do they know that unknown people are constantly watching and unexplainable things keep happening at suspiciously convenient times. The constant turn of events hits them like a wave full of deceit and shocking truths. Who can they trust when everything they've been told is a lie? Had their parents just sent them to the beginning to where their lives crumble? However friendships and relationships are formed, creating some of the strongest bonds they never would have gotten the chance to know. But the question still remains.... Who is a friend or foe? ☆Sneak peek from this story☆ The ringing in my ears grow louder, it's pitch-black because my eyes are tied. However I can tell I'm in a red-lit room, sat on the cold tile floor. "Why hello, ***. I'm so glad you were finally able to come. I hope they weren't too hostile with you." I know this voice, it's almost too familiar. "Who is this?" I ask, feeling like I already know the answer to my own question. "Oh, don't be in denial honey...", she says taking steps closer to me. She pauses before whispering, "You know exactly who this is..." She unties the cloth around my eyes and honestly.... I wish she remained mysterious... ☆The end for now...☆ ;)♡

It was a nice but small and remote village, situated just below the feet of the great Himalaya, untouched and spoilt by both vices and virtues of outside modern world, and the village itself was self-reliant and autarky with a very closely knitted community. It has its own set of rules, cultures and traditions; descendents from two main founding fathers lived together on each side of the river; and they did survive entirely on their own self-harnessed skills, well-thought-out rules and sheer ingenuity with a bit of luck. It did actually flourish by its own for more than hundred years without any helps or interventions from the outside and that itself was a miracle in its own merit. JJ was a naïve, self-centered and a spoilt son of the village chief, his family had been ruling the village for the last four generations and he was destined to be the next village chief after his father. Despite the seriousness and importance of his future role, the last thing he had in mind was to worry about his future responsibility, and somehow ended up wasting his entire youth by doing nothing good or useful at all. Baadal was a kind, disciplined and a very beautiful young woman; she was the only daughter of the first family from the other side of the river, and was married to JJ as prearranged when they reached adulthood. She was also a strong, intelligent and a very responsible person; she always did her best to fulfill her duties; and no matter what life had thrown at her, she took it on the chin and tried to carry on living with dignity.

Intro in the chapter. Give it a try.

I have been assembling a collection of names(and their meanings) that I personally found quite lovely. So I've decided to share them with my fellow writers in the hopes that they can inspire others as they have inspired me. In the collection there are names from many different countries and cultures and so whatever the ethnicity of your character is they can have a name from their own heritage.
