Delhi takes off!

After dilly-dallying for long, the Delhi team finally decided to meet on 24th January. We started with a pool of about 15 people. I talked to each one of the group, asking them to come to the team; but this being a long week-end many people were traveling out of Delhi and in the end we had three confirmations for the meeting. On 4th, I met Dr. K and A in the Central Park, Connaught Place. We began the meeting by introducing each other; but since for stutterers that in itself is a big task, we took quite long in that :-) K works in Lady Harding Medical College and it turned out we have a few common friends. Afterwards we shared with other, the various therapies we have practiced, it's effects on us, our experiences etc. The conclusion we agreed upon was that we all are almost fluent when we are practicing our brands of speech therapy, the real challenge lies in bringing that technique in real life conversations. And here we thought, a self-help group can help a lot. We can meet each other and talk using our techniques without the other person thinking of us as freaks. We have decided to meet every Saturday for the beginning and bringing more members in, so that we can organize more locally centered groups. I will update about the next meeting, next Sunday.
