Hi Sachin, I am truely touched by your post. I'm glad that my article has had some impact. I was a little nervous about disclosing such personal material to the world, but that's one of the things I'm trying to do to push out of my comfort zones. Like many other people, I've bottled up feelings and emotions for far too long. Open and frank communication about personal issues is a very liberating and bonding experience. I'm very happy to hear about TISA, and I think India needs an organisation for stuttering. At 1% of the popuation, about 10 million people probably have a stutter in the country. Hritik Roshan, I discovered last year, had a stutter, and apparently he still does his speech exercises every day. There is a lot of hope for all of us. Stuttering CAN be controlled, and even overcome. With the internet, and technological advances, stutters need no longer suffer in isolation. Take care, and I wish you and TISA the VERY best of luck in the future. Maybe some time in the future, India can hold the World Congress on Stuttering (to be held in Argentina next year).
