100% Cure की सच्चाई

Suppose करो,  जब आप तेज कार चलाते हो और आपकी कार बार बार बंद हो जाती है ।
अब आप driving सीखने जाते हो,  समस्या दूर करने के लिये ।
Driving school वाला आपको 30 दिन तक first gear मे गाडी चलवाता है,  खाली रोड पर ।

30 दिन बाद बोलता है तुम अच्छे driver बन चुके हो,  ऐसे ही first gear मे गाडी चलानी है,  चाहे शहर के traffic मे पीछे की गाडी वाला कितना ही Horn मारे या Highway पर सारी गाडियां 100km/Hr से ज्यादा स्पीड से दोडे । तुमको बस first gear मे गाडी चलानी है ,तुम्हारी गाडी कभी बंद नही होगी........
समस्या हल हो गयी क्या ?
नहीं ....

बल्कि और भी कई सारी समस्याएं driving school ने आपके लिये तैयार कर दी है । पहले आप second,  third gear मे आराम से चला लेते थे , शहर के traffic से अपनी गाडी की स्पीड का लगभग तालमेल बैठा लेते थे । बस कुछ जगह गाडी बंद हो जाती थी । पर Driving school ने first gear मे ही गाडी चलाने की हिदायत देकर आपके लिये कई सारी समस्याएं खडी कर दी,  अब शहर के traffic मे आपके पीछे का वाहन Horn मारता रहेगा,  और Highway पर first gear मे चलायी तो पक्का पीछे से कोई आपकी गाडी ठोक जायेगा । और इन सब उलझनों या भय मे फंसकर यदि आपने गाडी second या third gear मे चला दी, तो अब चूंकि आप रोज practice first gear की ही कर रहे हो, सो second or third gear मे चलाने का आत्मविश्वास भी खो चुके हो,  वहाँ गाडी बंद होने की संभावना अब और भी ज्यादा बढ जायेगी ।
फिर आप वापस driving school वाले के पास शिकायत लेकर जाओगे कि मेरी गाडी फिर से बंद होने लग गयी ।
Driving school वाला कहेगा,  तुम 30 दिन यहाँ रहे, first gear मे कभी गाडी बंद हुई थी ? नही ना ।
तो उसी स्पीड और गीयर मे क्यो नही चलाते , गलती तुम्हारी है ।
फिर आप जिन्दगी भर अपने आपको अपनी खराब driving के अलावा , इसलिए भी कोसते रहो,  कि मुझसे हमेशा गाडी first gear मे ही क्यो नही चलती ।

Conclusion - गये थे एक समस्या हल करने,  साथ मे कई समस्याएं गले पड गयी ।

A new star in the sky!

Is there a cure to stammering ....?

I with my Knp SHG friend Rohit went to the mall and again started voluntary stammering. he went to the ticket counter and there was a queue and i was standing at lkast of the queue. I volunatry stammered and asked Rohit to ask for the ticket.People stared at me as if I am committing some crime. I asked myself that doing such type of act in a mall is good and whether i would get cured by doing voluntary stammering.In short , i again doubted myself. But then a voice said that at least by doing voluntary stammering i am trying to correct myself and there are more chances of my recovery as compared to if i am not trying. So i reassured myself that its fine to voluntarily stammer and i will keep doing voluntary stammering and will not bother about people's reactions since its my life and i am the person who is responsible for living the way i want to live.

हकलाहट की सही पहचान

नमस्कार मित्रो।
में अपनी हकलाहट की कहानी को 3 पात्रों में विभाजित करके आप लोगो के सामने पेश कर रहा हु।
पात्र-1विलेन(हकलाहट)
       2  कलाकार(बॉउंसिंग/परलोंग)
       3 दर्शक (जिसके सामने में हकलाता हु)
में पिछले 25 वर्षो से अपने अंदर एक वयक्ति को लेकर बेठा था।जीसे में विलेन समझ रहा था पर tisa से जुड़ने के बाद पता चला वास्तव में वो विलेन न होकर एक बेहतर कलाकार हे।बस जरुरत हे उसे पहचान कर सही रूप देने की।पर सबसे बड़ी चुनोती थी उस 25 वर्ष पुराने विलेन को दर्शको के सामने कलाकार के रूप में कैसे पेश किया जाया।उस समय मेरी सोच ही थी जो मुझे अपने अंदर बेठे विलेन को कलाकार के रूप में बदलने में मेरा साथ दे रही थी।कलाकार वाही हे जो लोगो को हँसाने के साथ साथ खुद भी हस सके।विलेन के साथ जीने से  बीते 25 वर्षो में मुझे नहीं लगता हे की में कभी हँसा हु।पर कलाकार के साथ जीने से मुझे भी हँसने का उतना ही मौका मिलाता हे जितना मेरे सामने वाले दर्शक को।मेनेअपने 25 वर्षो के अनुभव में देखा हे की जब मेंअपनी हकलाहट को विलेन बनाकर जीता था तो वो वह अंदरुनी चोट बनकर दील और दिमाग के सहारे मेरे अवचेतन मन में काफी पीड़ा देती थी।और पीड़ा भी ऐसी जो न किसी को बता सकता ना छुपा सकता।और उस चोट के ऊपर सामने वाले की हँसी  जले पर नमक का काम करती थी।और वह नमक उस चोट को और गहरा बनाता जाता।अब  अपने आप में थोडा बदलाव करके अपने अंदर बेठे विलेन को कलाकार बनाकर कर अपनी चोट को लोगो को बताना सिख रहा हु।जिससे पता चला की उस विलेन से कही बेहतर हे कलाकार बन कर जीना।और विलेन अभी भी मेरे अंदर बेठा हे और वो मेरे अंदर बेठे कलाकार की की तुलना में बड़ा भी हे।पर हिंदी फिल्मो की तरह अंत में जीत कलाकार की ही होती हे।और मुझे भी पूरा विश्वास हे की मेरे अंदर बेठे विलेन का धीरे धीरे अंत होगा और मेरा कलाकार मेरे आने वाले दिनों को मुझे बेहतर ढंग से जीना सिखायेगा।
धन्यवाद

Hello Guys..

The weather was so wonderful that we were excited for our next meeting. We gathered as per the schedule at kumhrar park right at 3.30 pm.

Total Attendees- Suraj, Krishna and Mohit

We began our meeting with a sip of cold-drinks bought by suraj. We started with a normal chit-chat and then we shared our experiences with stammering on weeks. As the suraj is always been a jolly person so we enjoyed his company.

We continue doing our practice by reading the books for 10 minutes each. Suraj has taught us the right way to communicate and reading to both Krishna and me. It was a very informational solution by suraj.

It was a short meeting of 1.5 hours as we were unaware of the park closing timing.

Thanks for reading..

Patna Bihar SHG Meeting Report 16th August

Attendees- Me and Krishna

As per the schedule, we were reached the venue on time. We both started our meeting with a general chit chat of how our weekends were and how we celebrated our independence day.

We performed breathing exercise of 10 minutes, which helps both of us in being calm and relax. Krishna told me that how he faced problems when he went motihari for issuing certificates. I am amazed hearing that he asked the address from almost 40 persons on the road. I think this is the best part of experiencing our speech and fear.

Then we did 10 minutes mediation stilly. After meditation, we wander the whole park 10 time which talking. This helps us in communication in an extreme tiredness.

Krishna is now completely changed guy, now he tends to inspire me by giving me the different suggestion on how to keep motivated. He said that he always mentioned his strength and weakness point in a chat paper where he put it into a jar box. Every day he see that paper that helps him in knowing his weak and strength point. We also must do something in our daily lives to stay inspired.

The meeting was successful and finally we dispersed by saying bye to each other.

Bangalore SHG meeting- on 16 august 2015

Two days back i realized one thing- whatever i think or i do harms me and/or others. So i pledged to set myself free from all chains and i decided that i will always do the opposite of whatever the negativity (unmanagable emotions such as morose, anger, fear etc) makes me do. Independence Day was all about setting myself FREE!!!

So today, after getting up, my mind was cluttered with 100s of thoughts and emotions instead of SHG. I was more exhausted  and grumpy than regular days, more scared i would say. BUT, I decided the opposite of what i really wanted. I went for a run to heighten my endorphins and i was ready to go for SHG. YAY!!!

So, when i reached at the Cubbon Park, only two people were sitting there chit chatting- Naman and Akash. Firstly we just chatted about how we spend Independence Day. Next, as suggested by Naman, we decided to go for "stranger talk" directly, without further delay. So overall, we talked to 7 groups. Naman initiated the talk with first group. Next was Akash. So this aged couple seemed to "know everything" about stammering, told us about Pranic Healing and homeopathic medicines in curing stammering. Well Pranic Healing is nothing but cleaning up all the negative auras which inhabitate us whenever we encounter something negative in our lives. Quite an interesting topic to do research on, i felt!! ;).......

Anyways next was my turn. Stranger talk was scary for me, always!! But, since, i decided to do opposite what i feel i should do, keeping all the fear aside, i decided to talk, of course Naman and Akash motivated me a lot, yay!! So this group ( 5 people) was awesome. When questioned- "what advice would you give to a person who stammers?" , the girl answered - "if i dont know what a person is going through, how can i give any advice to take care of his/ her problems." This is SO TRUE FOR ANY PERSON, BE IT A STAMMERER OR NOT. 

So out of 7 groups, 5 groups knew people who stammered (family/close friends), which made us feel that there are so many people who need help and these people might not know where to go. I just hope that these people will their stammerer friends/family about TISA. After completing stranger talk, we just talked about few topics such as-

1. PWS whom we know, apart from SHG/TISA and how they manage their stammering.

2. Causes of Stammering since childhood, etc.

Then we ended the meeting with a hope that next time a lot more people will attend SHG and we will plan more with respect to "stranger talk activity".

While walking down to the main road, me and Akash discussed about how stammering started in our lives, what started it, what psychological impact stammering makes upon us and role of meditation (such as  Vipassana) etc in managing stammering, etc. We also discussed about Pranic healing, he disclosed that his brother has previosuly done Pranic Healing course and felt positive and motivated. We finally concluded that we dont want to cure our stammering, but we want to get rid off the psychological complications it causes, which affects our daily lives including our relations with our loved ones, plus the stress that causes health issues.

Patna Bihar SHG Meeting Report 9th August

As per the schedule we reached suraj home where he welcome us warmly and by kind heart. We met suraj mom who is very humble and kind. She had shared her struggles of life and inspire us to stay strong and move forward. we thankful to suraj's mom wholeheartedly...

From there we moved to our journey of maner by keeping home made food and water bottles.

The journey was 45 minutes long and we talked a lot in against the wind as this is best unfavourable conditions for talking, especially for Stammer. We reached and roam the most famous maner sharif dargah

At the dargah we had a long chat on various topics and we were talking in our respective techniques.

The trip was good and full of fun. We sensed that the Stammer person also have a lots oofd capabilities,  its just our thoughts of fear, guilt and anxiety which is stopping us.

This was the 4th meeting of krishna and we noticed a big changes in him. He often say that he gained a real confidence after joining TISA. Now he is a complete different guy that we met in first meeting.

In today's meeting, we realised that in spite the struggles of life, we must make space for fun and happiness.

There is one funny moment happened during the tour.. While reaching suraj home, krishna asking the address as per suraj direction. While asking he stammered and the guy was stunned to see his expression. I was standing just behind krishna so that guy asked me by nodding his head. I wondered in my mind "I am also the same,  you will get the same expression from my side too lol'.

This amusement gave us a long moments of a laugh.

So finally we departed and reached to barik ground where we discussed more about stammering and how to stay motivated during the tough time. From there we rang to hemant of kapurthala and he talked with three of us.

Lastly we dispersed and ended our meeting.

Bangalore SHG Meeting Report 09 Aug 2015

Attendees: Sharath, Nishil, Pramod, Kavish, Praveen, Raman, Rakshit and me (Aditya).

I reached the Cubbon park at 10:30., I was a bit late, but there were only 4 members there. 

As I reached the SHG venue, Pramod was telling about our two most consistent and regular members of SHG meeting, they are the two dogs who are always there in our meeting. Pramod name them as "Nameless Friends".

As we were only 5 members there so we club the two rounds i.e. introduction round and table topic round into one round. So one by one we start giving our introduction and then we have to speak on topic given to us for 3 minutes.

During the above round the other 3 members also joined the meeting and they also participated in the above round.There was also a one new guy Rakshit from Mandya

Then next round was prepared speech round, but only Nishil had brought the prepared speech. He explained about basics of share market and trading.

The next round was a debate round. So, the topic was "Learning From Books Vs Learning From TV/Video". We had healthy discussion on that.

The next round was very much scary for me as I was first time doing that.

It was a talking to strangers round. We were divided in the group of 2,2 and 3.

I was paired up with Kavish. We ask the strangers about what they know about stammering, and told them about TISA and SHGs etc. I didn't talk much or I rather I only spoke one or two sentence in that round, but Kavish was quite active. Even a lady told him that she couldn't recognize that he is a stammerer.

After that all the members meet and concluded the meeting by sharing their experience about the above round. Sharath told that his group played some prank on the stranger.

Next week we are planning to do more creativity in this round like playing pranks or role play or something else.

So wait till next Sunday to see what will we do.

PS: I am still scared for that talking to strangers round.

Regards,

Aditya Choudhary

Dehradun SHG Meet- 2nd August, 2015

It feels good to be back. Seriously, I was missing all the action out here. But then, you need to bounce back and show some stints on the stage. I am happy to admit that a successful SHG meet was organised on 2nd August, 2015 at Gandhi Park, Dehradun.

The meeting was attended by four warriors of Dehradun- Dayal Dhapola, Ashish, Parvez and Mohit. Parvez is a new member of Dehradun SHG and we welcome him in the prestigious family of TISA.


So Mohit was the first one to reach ON TIME at the venue. :-P Then Parvez arrived well on time. Dayal and Ashish were late for the meeting but they were humble enough to admit their fault. So they are excused. :-D


We started with the introduction round. Each PWS introduced himself quite nicely. Then, as we had a new member, we decided to elaborate on some techniques like Acceptance, Bouncing, Prolongation, Breathing and Pausing with pppppractical e-e-e-examples. This was done by  the "pro" members of Dehradun SHG. Parvez was attentive enough to recollect the facts and present them.

Then we decided to speak about our favorite actors from Bollywood and sing a song to finish it in a melodious way (not so melodious though :-P ). Emraan Hashmi was on top of the list of Parvez (well I have no objections :-D ). Ashish was too much attached to SSSShah Rukh Khan. Dayal is too socially responsible so he chose Amir Khan, Mohit was all in awe of Hrithik Roshan (Hamara Bhai :-D ).

Then we had a debate on- Yakub Memon Death Penalty. Ashish and Parvez took a FOR stand while Dayal and Mohit chose AGAINST. The main motive was to emphasize on our facts and examples rather than fluency. And we were quite successful I guess.


Then we decided to have a strangers talk. It was a first for Parvez. He was excited and nervous at the same time. But he did good. He talked about stammering, TISA, persons views and suggestions. Dayal is always amazing on Strangers talk and thats why its his favorite activity. It proved well enough as he was talking to 10 strangers at a time ! So kudos to Dayal !

Lastly, we had a group picture as a proof of our meeting :-P . We vowed to work hard for the expansion of Dehradun SHG and reach out to all the stammerers of Dehradun. Till then, Goodbye and Haklao Magar Pyaar Se.....

Sunday Fun-Day at Cubbon Park with Bangalore SHG

Sunday  Fun-Day  at  Cubbon  Park  with  Bangalore  SHG  

It was a cool and pleasant morning in Cubbon Park as always.I was the first one to reach Cubbon Park one hour earlier and people started gathering a while later.

Attendees:Sharath,Sid,Siddarth Sharma,Akash,Naman.Raman,Mansi,Nishil,Reuben,Pramod and  Kavish(Myself)

.

Initially we were around 4 Members only so we started of with the introductions one by one and decided to play a prank on the next person that he should pay a penalty of 100 bucks for coming late…all in good fun.(it was good to see the reaction of the person when he was compelled to pay up by the entire group….hahaha).Everyone Introduced themselves very effectively.

Then we moved on to the next round to increase our anxiety levels by starting of with the Impromptu speeches.Each person was given a time limit of 3 Minutes to think on their feet and speak their minds.We had some really amazing topics on which the members spoke well.

The Next round was that of Prepared Speeches.We had some wonderful Prepared Speeches by Sid,Sharath,Pramod,Mansi and Myself(Kavish).Each Member was given a time limit of 5-7 Minutes to complete his prepared Speeches.

Next Round we had a Group Discussion and the topic was that of “Friendship” considering that we had a meeting on a day that coincidentally happens to be Friendship Day.We had some good points put forth by the members.

Lastly we decided to have an Outdoor Activity by talking to Strangers around Cubbon Park,so we paired up in a group of two and approached a group of people and created awareness about Stammering.Overall the response was good and in a way it was a good approach to come out of our comfort zone and face our fears.

We concluded the meeting with the delicious sweets brought by Naman and bid adieu till next Sunday.Overall it was a Sunday well spent at Cubbon Park.

Regards,

Kavish

IS ACCEPTANCE A ROCKET SCIENCE...!!!????

Last Friday I had an interview and the reason why I'm sharing my experience is because things have changed...changed a lot. I don't know the psychological reason but what I can make out is ACCEPTANCE has made things quite easier.

I reached the venue on time, had a chat with other fellow candidates. This time I was quite calm and cool from inside. After 1 hour or so my interview started. There were 3 members in my panel - 2 ladies and 1 gentleman. One of the lady was the chairperson of the panel. Before interview I made it clear in my mind that I would answer honestly even if the questions are related with my speech (more precisely Stammering). I also mentioned in my Bio-Data form that I'm member of The Indian Stammering Association (TISA) and Self-Help Group (SHG).

So I entered the room with a smile on my face. Interview started and I answered the questions without any false make up. Infact that turn out to be a big advantage for me. Although I was expecting some questions on my Stammering but to my surprise they didn't ask me any question (have I became so fluent....hahahaha). I was maintaining proper eye-contact with each panelist, actively listening to their questions, answered using bouncing and prolongation wherever I felt, and involved some humor also. What actually happened during the interview was that I was FOCUSING on COMMUNICATION SKILL rather than fluency and this is what we practice in SHG meeting. There were some question to which I replied "Sorry I don't know" also.

After interviewing me for around 14-15 minutes, the Chairperson complimented me that IT WAS NICE TAKING YOUR INTERVIEW AND YOUR INTERVIEW WENT VERY WELL. I was like-Is she complimenting me!!!! or somebody else.....??? I was not expecting that someday I could hear such a compliment. I smiled a little and thank them all and came out.

So the crux that came out is
1. ACCEPTANCE IS HARD BUT IT IS NOT A ROCKET SCIENCE...!!
2. ONE SHOULD ALWAYS FOCUS ON COMM. SKILLS & FLUENCY IS SECONDARYYY...
3. DON'T CARRY EXTRA BURDEN OF STAMMERING & FEEL FREE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS RELATED TO STAMMERING
