Recently we did a group activ­ity in our writ­ten com­mu­ni­ca­tion class. There were 8 of us in each group. Every group had to come up with 20 totally dis­con­nected words. These were then passed on to the other group whose job was to come up with a story con­tain­ing these 20 “totally dis­con­nected words” !!! Though the idea was a lit­tle biz­zare but in the end if was real fun when those sto­ries were read. One of them even sounded a bit log­i­cal. Read on to see those words and the story we con­jured up.

1. Words:
   Barack Obama, Enigma, John McCain, Bermuda Tri­an­gle, Pizza Hut, Peb­bles, Por­cu­pine, Hatrick, Milky Way, Shehnai, Sodium Chlo­ride, Dr. Scheme, Naptha­lene Balls, Sholay, Rajnikanth, Psy­cho, Dun­geon, Grotesque, Don­key, Hypercube

    

    Story:
   Rajnikanth was very fond of don­keys. Hence  he went to bermuda tri­an­gle, But to his dis­may he didn’t find any don­keys, so he started col­lect­ing peb­bles. He saw apor­cu­pine and got afraid so he ran to a dun­geon nearby. On his was back he met apsy­cho named John McCain who told he went to visit the milky way where he owns a pizza hut. Rajnikanth was tired by the con­ver­sa­tion with the psy­cho and went to Dr. Scheme. He was offered sodium chlo­ride to pre­vent dehy­dra­tion. Also he found naph­tha­lene balls in a beau­ti­ful hyper­cube at the doc­tors place. On return from his jour­ney he went to see the movie Sholay where he found theShehnai music in a song sequence very grotesque. He found a per­son in the the­atre and was very impressed by his enigma and charm. The per­son told him that the plays cricket well and once took 22 catches in a sin­gle match and also ahatrick. That per­son was Barack Obama.

2. Words:
   Tree, Ethanol, Pis­ton, Starfish, Verk­hogansk Moun­tain, Pink, Win­dows XP, Androm­eda Galaxy, Refill, Hari Oil, Coal, Door, Neu­ron, Malaria, Gui­tar, Filer, Pepsi, Pro­jec­tor, Tag, Fair & Lovely

    

   Story:
   I was work­ing on a project for devel­op­ing a new scooty engine where the pis­tonwould be oper­ated by coal and ethanol. As usual I arrived home late. I was too tired to cook so I had a can of Pepsi. I fell asleep as soon as I lay on the bed. When I woke up I found the door was ajar and my room ran­sacked. Win­dows XP had crashed. My gui­tar lay on the floor. My filer, Fair & Lovely, Hair Oil, and other cos­met­ics were scat­tered on the floor. There was a pink tag on my left arm and my pen’s refill was lying beside me. The pro­jec­tor was run­ning a video clip on a con­tin­u­ous loop. It was show­ing a mes­sage that I had been infected with a rare kind of malaria and that was the rea­son for the pink tag. It men­tioned that to get cured I would have to go to the Verk­hogansk Moun­tain on the planet Neu­ron of theAndrom­eda galaxy. There a star fish on the only tree of that moun­tain would be my cure. I started sweat­ing pro­fusely after watch­ing the clip. Sud­denly I woke up only to find out that it was just a nightmare.

3. Words:
   Dr. Scheme, Jupiter, Quin­tes­sen­tial, Erad­i­cate, Roller Skates, Idio­syn­cratic, Obliv­ion, Tintu, Ante­dilu­vian, Affi­davit, Con­cot, Mush­room, Micro­proces­sor, George W Bush, Paper, Cam­ou­flage, Tyro, Three, Zephyr, Xenophobia

    

   Story:
   George W Bush, who is a tyro in the thick of good deeds is try­ing to erad­i­cateXeno­pho­bia with Tintu, who is obliv­i­ous with the quin­tes­sen­tial fra­grance hav­ing an idio­syn­crasy that resem­bles a strange thing like a Roller Skates, on the stony ground of Jupiter are work­ing together on Dr. Scheme on an ante­dilu­vian micro­proces­sor. They are in cam­ou­flage eat­ing three mush­rooms focused on an affi­davitand a paper in front, sit­ting amidst of a zephyr. Finally they come up with a con­cor­tance on nuclear deal.

Well, it took around 15–20 min­utes to make up a story. We fol­lowed two meth­ods. First, sim­ply start writ­ing and put in the words when­ever you think they might fit in. That was the approach fol­lowed in the third story. The sec­ond option is to cat­e­go­rize the words into sim­i­lar groups. Then try to come up with story. This was the case with the sec­ond story. The first story com­bines a bit of both methods.

If you find this inter­est­ing, you are most wel­come to come up with a story with these words on your own.
