Impossible… Is Nothing

Recently, I performed a mimicry item during the annual day function of my company. This was my first stage performance, and to my delight, I won the “Best Individual Performance” prize for this.

Learnigs from Newspaper Ad.

In response to a press release in Gujarati about SHG in Surat, I got about 15 phone calls. The learnings that I derive from those calls are None of the call was from PWS himself/herself. All of them were FOR PWS BUT, family members were talking. It may have become a bit easier for us […]
