TISA recently concluded a survey: Would you like to marry someone with stammer? Total number of votes were 82 (between 8th December 09 to 4th April 2010).

Hi Team,

Last six months have been very eventful for me. In October' 09, I lost my father; and it took me considerable time to come to terms with that, Then I was very busy with my office work. And once things began to look like returning to normal, my brother-in-law had an accident. Thankfully he survived, but two of his colleagues passed away.

All this meant, I could not give TISA as much time as I would have liked. But I realize, this can't go on for long. So here I am - returning in full force. To begin with, I will be available daily from 9:30 PM to 11:30 PM for voice chat on Skype (my handle is n.tomer). All those interested to talk, please send me a mail ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) to fix up a time.

And be ready for a lot of me; don't say I didn't warn you :-)

Cheers

Nitin
