Gabbar,Sambha and 3 stammerers!!! he he he

Gabbar- Sambha, how many people are there!!!

Sambha- Only three my don (Gabbar).

Gabbar- Only three?  Such a big OPD hall of lehman hospital with 100 chairs and just 3 stammerers???  BAHUT  NA-INSAFI HAI  (it is very injustice)

Gabbar- You see...these 3 guys have committed a stupid crime of hiding their stammering.Stupid because by doing so, they have hurt themselves the most.They have tried to put un-necessary hurdles in their natural flow of speaking and make it a difficult task for themselves to speak and the listener to understand to.Give me the address of that idiot who have said that stammerers are used to be intelligent persons.Is this a display of intelligence at all that you are hurting yourself by such silly mistakes?

Sambha- But my don, I am confused why these guys have done this stupid crime of hurting themselves?  Why they need to hide stammering? As I can see....they appears so exhausted and tired only after a few minutes of talking and even when they were speaking, they looked so tensed.I have never been to anything beyond primary school but I can see it very clearly, so can't these guys..... that specky one is an engineer...can't he observed that he is doing something wrong.

Dr.Sachin at Chennai SHG meeting

Chennai SHG was very fortunate that Dr.Sachin participated the meeting held on 09.03.2014. Most of the Chennai members knew about Dr.Sachin, they were seeing him in person for the first time.

At the outset of the meeting, I welcomed Dr.Sachin and introduced him to the Chennai SHG members.

KANPUR SHG 9th MARCH

Today we had a Fun-filled SHG meet where I and Navneet practiced bouncing techniques with the executives of the outlets in the mall. We also discussed our future approach trying to open more up with strangers . We also thought upon the idea of improving more on our thought process.I also discovered the fear and hesitation in me when i am alone interacting with strangers but with Navneet , I also become motivated enough to do interacting with strangers.

There is no 'i' in team but there is in win. Bangalore SHG Weekly Report March 2nd 2014

(on behalf of Pramod.)

……………….In coverstion with Thenna, Anshuman, Anna, Karthik, Pramod, Manoj, Prabhakaran and Naman.

Hi All,

It was a quiet and pleasant Sunday with the showers just have happened the previous night. The day started with some relaxation and feel good exercises guided by karthik. It was a refreshing experience, as each of the areas which tense up during speech was acknowledged and made to RELAX!

This was followed by a relaxed and an informal round of introduction along with one sharing of the past week.

The group then moved towards slow reading on the topic ‘Corruption in India’. This exercise when hit with the right flow and synch instantly provides an assurance to any PWS that all is still well. It gives an idea of your non-stammering voice! This was a collective article gathered by Anna.

The approximate money calculated only of bribes and tokens amount to a whopping figure which is sufficient to start a whole new nation! One thing we all got to know through the article is that almost all public sectors are hit by corrupt practices at various degrees.

We then had a few prepared speeches from the members. Manoj spoke about rain water harvesting highlighting about the benefits of it and the disadvantages if we don’t conserve water. Since he has witnessed such an activity at his native and also has seen the wastage in the cities, his speech had that ‘concern factor’.

Naman did have a quasi-prepared speech. He shared some of his experiences of the year gone by-2013. The topic was a catchy one – ‘Good and bad things that happened to him in the year 2013’. There was an instant connect with his topic as it reminded of the things we have and the ones we have left behind – intentionally or just slip away.

The next speaker was Karthik and he shared about his experience at Jindal Nature Camp. The 10-12 days of complete indulgence in nature and its pampering had him wishing for more.
As soon as we had finished this exercise, we were met by a Television Channel who wanted to record a few videos airing the city’s changing weather. Naman happened to volunteer first and gave his best shot. He seemed to enjoy talking his heart out and to be in front of the camera. This did bring cheerfulness in others as well as a little anxiety as to who would be next.

Then the anchor turned towards Prabhakaran. He seemed a little weary at the beginning but soon managed to get comfortable and emerged with all smiles.
The anchor then asked who else had a grip over kannada and I just said ‘I can’ and put went ahead. Had I not said ‘I’ at the first instant and had he asked the second time I bet my weekend I would not have volunteered!

I would leave my ‘performance’s feedback to the group who witnessed it.
This was an unexpected but awesome experience.

Thenna had some good table topics and the members went one by one. Each person was given two minutes to speak and the members did justice to this.

The last activity for the day was Group Discussion and the topic we chose was ‘did the British Influence on India do good or bad to the country’. This was a healthy discussion and the group came up with some interesting points.

(on behalf of Pramod.)

Whenever You See Some Fear, Do Just the Opposite!!

“Don’t follow your fear instinct, because that is going to make you a coward. It degrades your humanity. It is a humiliation imposed by yourself. Whenever you see some fear, go against it! A simple criterion: whenever you see there is fear, go against it and you will be always moving, growing, expanding, coming closer to the moment when ego simply drops – because its whole functioning is through fear. And the absence of the ego is enlightenment; it is not something plus.
“Just a simple principle: remember, anything that makes you afraid, fearful, is a clear indication of what you have to do. You have to do just the opposite. You are not to become a follower of fear, you have to fight your fear. The moment you decide to fight your fear, you are on the way towards enlightenment.”

Excerpts from the discourse of an enlightened soul collected from internet.

2nd March Faridabad SHG

On 2nd march,2014...it was for the first when we met for the SHG meeting in Faridabad at Townpark sec-12. Abhishek,Umesh,Harshveer and Naresh attended the meeting. We started with the introductions one by one. Then Umesh Rawat helped us with some meditations and to feel comfortable within ourselves and to realise our breath and get relaxed. Then we all shared our views and belief regarding betterment of our speech and also discussed that how expressive we can make our speech by head and body movements. We have also took it an oppertunity to interact with a group of 10-15 people there in the park being gathered for to discuss the social issues and when we are asked....we advertised our "TISA" to them.
In this way our meeting went away successfully.

KANPUR SHG

Today we finally had a Kanpur SHG meet for the first time. I and Navneet met for the first time. We initially  shared about the life experiences of each other related to stammering and other general stuff in life. I learned a new exercise , ultra slow speaking experience and how to combine it with the normal fluency.I was amazed to see the confidence in Navneet to apply the slow speaking technique without any fear or guilt  in practical situations.

Pune SHG Meeting March 2

This Sunday we started early in cold of Pune. Yes we are still experiencing cold in Pune despite March has started. The meeting was led by Rahil, where we started with meditation. We had introduction round and story / joke telling round. We had 7 PWS joined today, out of this we had one new person joined who is a engineering student.

We went to a mall, but as it was too early we did not found many people there, then we started talking to employees of the mall. We got unbelievable support from the staff. In fact we found two new PWS from this staff. Team leads of staff asked these PWS to join us and recover.One of them will join us in SHG meeting next week.

Next week we are having a train ride.
