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 […]

A day with children..

I was in Anjanisain after a long gap. After rain, everything looked clean and beautiful in the mountains all around me. Had some time, so I spent it with (APV) school children. Showed them “Courage to speak” – a Canadian film about three children who stammer- one of them is Caroline, who decides to participate […]

Vivek was here!!

Screaming beyond Silence! Every movie or book we come across and is liked is because it has some deep correlation to the events of your life,some characters that resemble you or some characters that resemble the people you know closely.  I watched the movie The King’s Speech (true story of King George VI ) and this movie […]
