Yes- this is Navratra season in Pune. You can see people doing dandiya (a folk dance with short sticks) under big canopy, by the side of the road late in the night, to slow music, under the indulgent gaze of beautiful idols of various Godesses! While the Mother watches and smiles children dance to Bollywood […]
I never had to shell out a fortune for speech therapy. The only one i went through once during my engineering studies was at All India Institute of Speech and Hearing, Mysore. Although my SLPs intent for curing me was quite impressive, they lacked the professional know-how and real life do-how. The reasons being a) […]
(above: 1. Bouncing in the food court- acts as appetizer! 2,3: impromptu presentations: we need to read widely to enrich our content; 3: Pass the pillow game to get feedback randomly.)

The seventy-something speaker was a clinical psychologist-turned . He was going to address a group of 100 meditation students. But suddenly he blanked out. He forgot what he was supposed to do. He didn’t know where he was and why he was there. All he knew was that his heart was thudding furiously and his […]
कई साथी हकलाहट दोष का समाधान चाहते है, लेकिन टाइम नहीं मिलता अभ्यास करने के लिए. अधिकतर हकलाने वाले लोग मेहनत करने से बचने के लिए यही बहाना बनाते है. यहाँ एक सवाल यह है की जब आपको अपने रोज़ के काम करने, टी.वी. देखने, खाने-पीने का समय मिल जाता है तो फिर हकलाहट दूर […]
