Dear Ferinds,Good Morning,One of the main problem with PWS is that we think too much about our failures and do not relish our good time when we had performed well. Whenever I perform well I always reward myself either by giving a good treat to myself or by buying some good thing for my personal […]

Devang and team was able to get accommodation for him at Infy campus itself, which in retrospect, seemed an achievement! One thing is becoming obvious: help is often available for […]
A study has shown that those who stammer may be more emotionally sensitive and have greater difficulty regulating their feelings, than those who don’t stammer. Findings suggest that these may contribute to the difficulties PWS may have establishing reasonably fluent speech.The findings tell us this is something we should look at. The catch is we […]
The morning on the roof was glorious! High rise buildings, topped by dish antenna – hemmed in by humbler dwellings of people who work in these buildings: delivery boy, driver, kam wali bai etc. etc. Dualities of life are never too far as a reminder in big cities. There has been rain in Pimpli Chinchwad […]

Yes- this is Navratra season in Pune. You can see people doing dandiya (a folk dance with short sticks) under big canopy, by the side of the road late in the night, to slow music, under the indulgent gaze of beautiful idols of various Godesses! While the Mother watches and smiles children dance to Bollywood […]
I never had to shell out a fortune for speech therapy. The only one i went through once during my engineering studies was at All India Institute of Speech and Hearing, Mysore. Although my SLPs intent for curing me was quite impressive, they lacked the professional know-how and real life do-how. The reasons being a) […]

We began the day with a guided meditation (on breath). Next, random recap and feedback by throwing a paper-box around- a session conducted by […]
