Ml Dialogue Writing

What is a dialogue? എന്താണ് സംഭാഷണം?

A dialogue is a written conversation involving two or more characters.

രണ്ടോ അതിലധികമോ ആളുകൾ ഉൾപ്പെടുന്ന ഒരു രേഖാമൂലമുള്ള  വർത്തമാനമാണ് സംഭാഷണം.

A number of principles to be held in a dialogue:

ഒരു സംഭാഷണത്തിൽ പാലിക്കേണ്ട നിരവധി തത്ത്വങ്ങൾ:

1) Two people that are present for each other, real presence.

പരസ്പരം സന്നിഹിതരായ രണ്ട് വ്യക്തികൾ, യഥാർത്ഥ സാന്നിധ്യം.

2) Each one is complete and unique.

ഓരോന്നും സമ്പൂർണ്ണവും സവിശേഷവുമാണ്.

3) Each one is open, autonomous and aspires to freedom.

ഓരോരുത്തരും തുറന്നതും സ്വയംഭരണാധികാരമുള്ളതും സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യം ആഗ്രഹിക്കുന്നവരുമാണ്.

4) Openness and willingness to one another.

പരസ്പരം തുറന്ന മനസ്സും സന്നദ്ധതയും.

5) Both have a joint targeting.

രണ്ടിനും ഒരു സംയുക്ത ടാർഗെറ്റിംഗ് ഉണ്ട്.

Eg of an Anecdote and the Dialogue

A woman returned from work and found her dog, a large Doberman, lying on the floor gasping for air. She was worried. So, she immediately carried the pet into her car and drove him to a veterinarian.

The vet examined the dog but could not find any reason for his breathing difficulties. So, he said that he’d have to perform a tracheotomy and insert tubes down the animal’s throat so that he could breathe. He explained to the woman that it wasn’t something she would want to watch. So, he asked her to go home and leave the Doberman at his clinic overnight.

The woman returned home. Just as she entered home, she heard her phone ringing. She rushed in and answered it. It was the vet. “Get out of the house immediately! Go to the neighbour’s and call the police!” he shouted.

She immediately ran out of the house and called the police. The police came in a few minutes, searched the house and found an unconscious intruder, without fingers, lying in a closet. Apparently the dog had bitten off his fingers and they had got lodged in his throat. That was why the dog was choking.

അർജുന അവാർഡ് ലഭിച്ച ഒരു കായിക താരവുമായി അഭിമുഖം നടത്താൻ നിങ്ങൾക്ക് അവസരമുണ്ടെന്ന് സങ്കൽപ്പിക്കുക. അഭിമുഖത്തിനായി 10 ചോദ്യങ്ങൾ തയ്യാറാക്കുക. ഉചിതമായ മുഖവുരയും ഉപസംഹാരവും നടത്തുക.

Interviewer: Abhinav, it is a privilege for us to be able to interview you.
== Interviewer: In a country where you did not have any example of an individual winning the Olympic gold medal in shooting, what inspired you to pursue an Olympic medal in a rather unconventional sport? ==

interviewer : Would you say Athens 2004 was the low point in your life?
== interviewer : Sports, in India, is not a career option for most people. Very few dare to take specialized sports training leaving behind traditional studies. If given all the powers what changes would you bring to the sports governance in India? ==

Interviewer: Finally, what would you say to Indian athletes, particularly shooters, looking up to you?
Task: Assume that you are Mr. Abhinav Bindra and and write your responses to the interviewer’s  questions.
