I knew the clock is ticking. I was aware of my surroundings as I was getting ready. I was cautious as I was moving towards the building, all unknown faces in hurry, kids with the fancy accent on the registration counter, ladies, and gentlemen with drinks in hand, all in a formal set-up in one […]

“Victory”. Title later modified to “Victory, really?”
Sweetest are those victories that humbles FEAR.

Ego: Emotions Gone Overboard…
Ego is bad for people. Sounds clichéd?? Well, It’s more so for pws. The singular factor that can ease the life of a pws is – Confidence. It is when the mind and heart are in unison, without fear, that words flow unhindered. For a pws like me, (teacher with stammering) with nowhere to hide, […]
