Raksha and Bishwananth are kickass presenters. The audience has raved about their past sessions.


"The widely-admired master storyteller W. Somerset Maugham once said, "There are three rules for writing the novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are." How true! In order to write, you have to just do that -- write. But when you are writing for the reader, you need the P-O-W-E-R: each letter expands into a word that will help you unlock your potential for becoming a published writer. Come, get the P-O-W-E-R." by BISHWANATH GHOSH
