Uttarkashi
I am in Uttarakashi with my new cheapo camera. But it has some interesting features- it can take a panoramic picture in three frames and then join them seamlessly. The picture above is an example- normally it would be possible only with an extreme wide angle lens. I took it while walking on a suspension […]
Its different!
I was looking forward for this weeks meet as i could not attend the last two meetings. I reached the place and saw found Manohar waiting outside. Later we were joined by Sanjeeth, JP and Yuthika.

Network marketing..
Yesterday (5th May), Amanunddin, Vineet and myself, drove off to Dehradun like busy salesmen. We gave a session on stammering to a group of Canadian students at Samagra. To help us, three young PWS joined from Dehradun itself. We showed the group some video clips, interspersed with informal question & answer sessions. Next, the Canadian […]
Pune SHG: 02 May 2010
I hurried to the spot presuming that I was late, only to discover that I was the first to reach. Realizing that I had some time at my hands, I decided to give Mrs. Doke a quick visit. Mrs. Doke is the wife of Mr. Doke who recently (about 2 months ago) passed away. For […]
Sell the product and Get rid of Stammering!
TISA has brought to light many crack-pots who claim to have a sure cure for stammering. Yes- there are quite a lot of these round the globe. Most of these crack-pots claim to be ex-stammers. We should laugh away at these people. Simply because they are oblivious to the 2/3rd, non-evident side of the stammering […]
Scared? Just do it!
I and Rahul met again today. Because of less attendance, our activities are largely confined to discussions. Today I narrated the incidence wherein I used my lateral speech while performing on stage in an office event. With this, we discussed how lateral speech can help us in our path towards recovery. I would also like […]
A Novel Hope
There is a general saying in the public that no one is perfect. Therefore, each and every one of us carries our own barriers and hardships throughout our life time. These difficulties can be exhibited in speaking, writing, thinking critically, body appearance or dealing with people. Since from an early age, I had difficulties to […]
Testimonials!
After some request, my partner Marian, wrote something for TISA some time back; I wondered if I should share it with our friends and readers.. It took me sometime to decide in favour of sharing! So, here it goes: “In the course of a long life lived with two stammerers, it is only now in […]
Love Yourself
Have you encountered situations when/where you wanted to do something very badly, but you just could not for some reason? And then in the hindsight you try to post mortem it again and again, trying to analyze the reasons that held you back. That moment you infer that it was your cowardice that you could […]

ToastMaster’s speech
Boy, finally I did it! Spilled out the beans or open the pandora’s box, call it the way you want.

Critical comments are welcome and […]

Since Raju is doing diploma in Physiotherapy, I asked him a few questions in English about his subject. Then we reviewed the recording and parted after about two hours.Here is a […]
Lets fast forward!
Recevied a touching mail from a young PWS, which made me think as to what do we really want from society? All his friends make fun of him even teachers do not understand his feelings, he is not able even to express himself freely, not able to answer the question asked by his teacher while […]
The brave new world
Here is a frank discussion with Pramendra about what stammering is and how it shapes our thoughts, personality and lives. Bravo Pramendra!
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 […]
Stammering – a bliss?
How can stammering be a bliss? That is all crap! You are just saying it because you have attained reasonably good communication skills. The argument is true only until you are living in an AUTOPILOT mode and until you are under the impression that you are your mind and your thoughts.Isn’t it? No, this is […]
