Stories, like trees, have deep roots. All our stories begin long, long before the point from which we start telling them.
******
The story of Gluten allergy did not start with gluten allergy. It started with hybrid and GM wheat.
The story of Indo-Nepal conflict did not start with Indo-Nepal conflict. It started with the Communist government being voted to power in Nepal - in 2008.
The story of the loneliness epidemic did not start with the loneliness epidemic. It started with the Fountainhead - in 1943.
The story of a country of clerks did not begin with the civil service. It started with the British educational system.
*****************
All our stories today, are like rivers. They don't always come from a single source. They come from many tributaries. Many things have come together to create the story that flows from our lips today.
