I am Stammerer today and will remain as Stammerer for Life. (period)

During last few weeks, I was bit busy and could not write on blogs or much interaction with other PWS. This was one of the hectic period for me to attend various calls where I talked for 4 hours on the phone. Here are some the things I have been noticing, as I have talked to many unknown people, the speech was not great and had lot of jerks, I stammered many a time. I hesitated on certain time as there was bit anxiety as there were senior people in the call. I unknowingly used bouncing techniques many times, but did not had a block any time. Despite it was not a great feeling that I did not speak well, I never carried over on next moment, or next call, or next day the feelings of guilt. In fact there is no feeling that I stammered or there is a guilt about my stammering. But at the same time there is inner feeling that stammering is there, and will remain.....

Stuttering mindset and Fluency

I've observed that to get rid of stuttering mindset is the real deal.Otherwise, you might be fluent for a a few days or even a few decades and one day, suddenly you will stutter enough and immediately all the hidden fears buried deep inside your mind under thick bandages of speech techniques will pop out like anything and they will start haunting your days and nights like never before.

So, to accept whole heartedly that stuttering will be with me, but, yes, it depends upon me whether I wants to make it a friend or enemy.Making a friend by accepting it completely and making peace with it will make sure it will not bother me ever and will not be a hurdle in expressing myself.And, quite similarly, making fighting it and making it a life long enemy will lead to extinction of peace,love and satisfaction from our lives for ever.

Mumbai SHG - Minutes of Meeting - 25th May 2014

Hi guys,

The meeting started at 1.55 pm with the welcome speech by the facilitator of the meeting Jugal H who then asked each of the role players to introduce themselves and their roles.

After this started was the Learning session and the cream of the SHG meet. It consumed the major time of the meet, but was a great learning session, the motivational speech by the guest speaker ex stutterer, Vikram. He told us about his experience as a stutterer and his journey to fluency. He told us about stammering as a psychological thing and it is very important to change our thought from negative to positive. He thought us about the ABC which will help us shift our thoughts to positivity. Here, A- Affirmation, B – Breathing, C – Creative Visualization. He explained the meaning and importance of ABC. Then, we had a meditation session and he asked us to practice the same in our day to day life. This was followed by the question answer session, here our fellow stutterers asked some good questions and those were beautifully answered by Vikram. At the end of the session, Vikas Tantia presented Vikram with chocolates. We all enjoyed the chocolate. Thank you Vikas for the same ;-)

We learned a great deal of things in this session which we believe will help us to improve our communication and personality in general. I am going to write a separate blog on the Learning session by Vikram and will post the same on Tisa-blog and will share the link with you guys J

Regards,

Kevin

SHARE YOUR PROBLEM

Why are we scared of sharing our stammering problem with others? It has been observed that in our daily life it is often considered a taboo to discuss about our problems with each other. It does not mean that we should start discussing our problems with any person or strangers. Further there is a fear in our mind that by telling someone about our personal problems , we may be considered weird or inadequate.  Always remember the Golden Rule: " Problem shared, is Problem halved. "
So keep sharing.

News from Bangalore............. Renewed Strength

Venue: Cubbon Park,Bangalore.

Date:18-5-2014
Time:10.00AM-1.00PM

The day was warm , the air in and around cubbon park was filled with enthusiasm.People were joggiing ,cycling.The TCS 10 k run was just winding up. All joggers were leaving the park after their 5k/10k journey.

Amidst all these events our small group gathered in the heart of cubbon park. We had Lohith, Dinesh,Anupum, Shamail, Abhinav and myself Nishil.

Introductions: We had couple of new members joining our TISA , I warmly welcome Shamail and Anupum to our TISA family. We had a round of introductions and the expectations of the new members as what they expect out of these meetups. Then we all shared our stories and links with Tisa.

Past Experience:It feels good to unburden ourselves from the nagging thoughts in our mind by sharing it with friends. This activity helped us to know each other much better and relieve the weight in our and others mind.

Cracking jokes:We had a fun activity presenting jokes , thought our punch line timings were way off the hooks. Our jittery sounds crackled us up nevertheless.

Reading:Before it was time to wrap up we decided to try our mettle by reading our aloud from "Apna Hath Jagannath". Its always a pleasure to read this book which reminds us the practice we need to overcome our limitations and sets us on the right path.

Bypassers noticed a stray snake slithering past our hut and alarmed us. We got a good scare till we located the snake and found that its trajectory had moved away from us. Good grief most of us are still very Young!!!!

We wrapped up our day with a resolution to train ourselves intensively on prepared speeches for the next three months and will work on it to become good orators.

Nobody is 100% fluent

लगभग 15 साल पहले मैने स्वामी विवेकानंद की कुछ पंक्तियाँ पढी थी  

- 'भेद सिर्फ़ परिमाप का है, प्रकार का नहीं ।' 
"The difference is only in degree and not in kind. "

अर्थात ना कोई शत प्रतिशत सच्चा है , ना कोई शत-प्रतिशत झूठा है ।
 ना कोई 100% ईमानदार है , ना कोई बेइमान । 
ना कोई100% क्रूर है , ना कोई 100% दयालू । 
और ना कोई 100% Fluent है और ना 100% stammer । 
हर आदमी मे सारे अच्छे और बुरे गुण विद्यमान होते है , बस किसी मे ज्यादा होते हैं तो किसी
मे कम , The difference is only in degree.

After Joining TISA, i Started to observe Non-PWS speech and got -almost all stammers in different situations and almost all Non-PWS are using Bouncing or Prolongation unknowingly.

चलो, इस बार आप भी इन विचारों को परखो , 16 May को मतगणना Counting होगी और इस दौरान कई

Fluent रिपोर्टर विभिन्न टीवी चेनलों पर द्रुत गति से , जल्दी से
जल्दी सूचना दे रहे होंगे , परिक्षण करना कितनों का गीयर फ़ंसता है बोलते
बोलते ? कितने स्वाभाविक Bouncing  करते है,  कितने Prolong करते है ?

There was a little Boy.

Once upon a time there was a little boy who stammered and stammered badly. As he grew up he continued to stammer with much pain and misery , until one fine morning God became kind and he realised that it is Okay to stammer. After this his life changed and it changed for good.
What are you waiting for ?
Now it's your turn.
May all beings be Happy.

Hi everyone! 

We would like to invite you to Meeting #15. 

Meeting Theme: Bring out your inner child

Mumbai SHG - Minutes Of Meeting - 4th May 2014

Hi Guys,

The SHG meet started at 1:30 pm, with the wonderful welcome speech by the Facilitator of the meeting, Bharat Soni (who chipped in at the last minute).  The facilitator then asked each of the role players to introduce themselves and their roles. The joke master Aditya shared a funny joke :-) There were some guests(one of whom was a 10 year old kid) and they introduced themselves.

This was followed by the learning session which was led by Dhruv. The group was divided into 4 teams. Each team was given a theme and they had to make a play/skit on that theme. It was great fun to see the acting bug come out of each member :-)

After this was project presentation session, the project presenters, Jugal and Gaurav who gave some wonderful speeches. The speeches were then evaluated by the evaluators Dhruv and Aditya.

ARE WE STUPID?

Just because we stammer does not mean we are stupid.It also does not mean we are less than anyone else. We might have assumed we are, and a host of other things. If we believe it , then it must be true, right ? But I do not think so. These types of beliefs are signs that we have been confusing ourselves and telling ourselves too many flawed stories.
