Stories, Ideas, Conversations

If you have come here after reading one of my pieces, thank you.
If you have come here by accident, stay a moment. Accidents sometimes lead to interesting collaborations.

Over the years, I have written, spoken, argued gently, laughed loudly, and occasionally made people think when they least expected it. What began as writing columns and stories has now grown into something more; books, plays, conversations, and gatherings where ideas are not just spoken, but felt.

This page is where all of that comes together.

Speaking Engagements

I enjoy speaking almost as much as I enjoy writing, which is another way of saying I like to talk, but with purpose. And like my newspaper columns which on certain days has a readership of over six million, hundreds of organisations have asked me to speak at their events, seminars and functions:

I am called to speak at:

schools and colleges

Rotary and other social clubs

churches and faith gatherings

literary events

community, corporate and political platforms

My talks are not lectures. They are conversations. Sometimes humorous, sometimes reflective, but always intended to leave the audience with something to think about long after the event is over.

Some themes I speak on:

Writing Professionally and Speaking Dynamically

Developing Character Not Just Personality.

Finding meaning in everyday life

Writing with honesty and humour

Faith in a noisy world

Compassion in divided times

Storytelling that connects

If you would like to invite me to speak, I would be happy to explore that with you.

Plays and Dramatic Writing

Some stories refuse to sit quietly on a page. They demand a stage.

I write plays that bring together drama, humour, tension, and reflection. Whether rooted in faith, society, or human relationships, my aim is simple, to hold the audience’s attention and then gently turn it inward.

If you are:

a theatre group

a church

a school or cultural organisation

and are looking for original scripts or performances, do get in touch.

 

Writing Classes and Workshops

Good writing is not just talent. It is observation, discipline, and learning to listen to people, to silence, and sometimes to oneself.

I conduct workshops and classes on:

storytelling

speaking

humour and satire

character building

writing for stage and audience

finding your voice

personality development

These sessions are practical, interactive, and designed to help people write better, talk better and live better, not by copying a style, but by discovering their own.

They have been conducted all over India:

in person

online

as short workshops or extended courses

Books and Writing

I write because I cannot help it. And because the world, despite its seriousness, desperately needs reflection served with a little humour.

My work ranges from satire to spiritual reflection, from fiction to commentary. Some of my key works include:

DARE– A motivational bestseller-available on Amazon

Bob’s Banter Chronicles– A collection of short stories, available on Amazon

Hi Society — a story about compassion, conflict, and what happens when ordinary people choose conscience over comfort

Tsippy’s Story — an imaginative journey that blends faith, science, and satire

Jesus the Businessman — a fresh way of looking at work, fairness, and leadership through a familiar yet surprising lens

Beyond books, I write regularly, and those pieces you may have already encountered.

If you are a publisher, editor, or someone looking to collaborate on writing projects, I would be glad to hear from you.

 

Why D’You Need Me?

Because I take both words and people seriously.

Whether it is a piece of writing, a talk, or a workshop, my aim is not just to deliver content, but to create an experience, one that engages, questions, and sometimes quietly changes the way we look at things.

I look forward to hearing from you. And if not, I hope you continue reading my column, because that, after all, is where this journey usually begins.

With Love and Warm Regards,

Bob (Robert Clements)
