In this deeply emotional episode of The Communicate Clever, we reflect on the heartbreaking terror attack that shattered lives and peace in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir.

28 innocent people lost their lives in an act of senseless violence—targeted for their identity, silenced for simply existing. Among them was Shubham Dwivedi, a young newlywed from Kanpur, whose honeymoon turned into a nightmare.

Through real accounts, survivor stories, and raw emotion, this episode is a tribute to those we lost—and a reminder that hate must never win.

🕯️ This episode is dedicated to the memory of every soul lost in Pahalgam. May their stories be heard. May their lives be remembered.

In this deeply personal episode, I take you back to a time when speaking up felt nearly impossible—when self-doubt, fear, and hesitation made words feel heavy and out of reach. “When Words Were Hard to Say” is not just my story, but a reflection of the quiet battles many of us face while trying to express ourselves.

I share the moments that shaped my silence, the turning points that helped me break it, and how I gradually discovered the strength to speak with clarity and confidence. If you've ever struggled to say what you truly feel or feared how your words would be received, this episode is for you.

Let’s explore what it means to find your voice—and why it matters more than you think.
