Our sole source of energy tonight. We need some refuel.

We all fall, get up and complete the race of life! And while we huddle up with friends, family and the world to celebrate the success, it is only that one co...

Taking a break watching this fantastic advertisement addressing speech problems. Kudos Nescafe (y) We’re with you.

Also, we desperately need some coffee in our system.

And FINALLY we’re done with the video. Mini Challenge #3.

If only Windows Movie Maker was faster... *sigh*

Our design: A game installed in school corridors. Kids compete by speaking sloowwwly. The slow-talker gets a message note saying, “Slow & steady can be fun too. Stammering and struttering isn’t a problem.” ...thus making kids who strutter less shy, (and also become champs maybe).

Non stop video-editing got Sneha stuck in her chair, literally. Yes even we didn’t know such things were possible at 25.

Mitali helping her untangle. Phew.

Wish we had a MAC. Windows Movie Maker is so NOT supporting us right now :( Grrr!

Phew! Finally zeroed on one brief :) Creating a design for school kids, with speech problems.

Why? Because our research shows that most prominent memories that jade a stammerer/strutterer’s personality are the ones from his/her childhood.

“I struggled to recite the poem, and all the kids laughed at me in class...”, as said by one of our primary data sources in an interview.

So how about a solution that pushes kids to be more patient with their stammering peers, thus letting them bloom into confident (and not isolated) adults?

After all, kids are the future of this nation, and the world. :)
