Reactions to Stammering: Nature vs. Nurture
A comment “Common, isn’t it just a natural urge to laugh when you see someone speaking like p.p.p…? With organisations like TISA and their PILs, laughing may not be ‘politically correct’ but then who can deny that natural urge to laugh?” by someone agonised me and left me thinking. Questions like ‘Is stammering inherently a […]
A PWS
There was a young man in his early twenties. He always felt frustrated about his life, his job, his speech. He always wanted to do something about it! One day, he read somewhere that if you can dream it, you can Do it! So he started day dreaming about all the things he wanted in […]

Vivek was here!!

So Vivek was here at […]

Model HR
