Hi Prakhar, I enjoyed your article. Now I know what you look like ;-) My stutter influenced my choice of employment. At the tender age of 19 years, I realised that I could take a relatively easy passage through life by seeking work that did not require a great deal of speaking/social interaction. But that was not the path I wished to tread. I felt that I needed to have public contact and applied to join the Police Service. By carefully selecting the words that I knew I could say, I gained acceptance ;-) It was extremely challenging fulfilling that role (and there were many heartaches and disappointments along the way), but I have no regrets. I would do it all over again. May I wish you every success with the new Indian website project. Kindest regards Alan
