Dear Friend, I would advise you to attend one of the workshops organized by TISA so that you understand the value of acceptance in our lives. The next step would be desensitization.

While searching for new communication exercises for our SHG, I landed up on a page, which could be ideal for some of us. We all have been thru that phase, whether we stammer or not- where every Shyam, Raghu, Lallu and Bhaiyya is getting a job, left right and center, except us! And we just […]
