Stammer Stories: Jaipur Comm WS: Atul Singh Sainger

Hello all! I developed stammer when I was in 3rd or 4th standard. And by 6th I became fulltime stammerer. Bunking schools in oral tests, persuading friends to attend my roll call, Literally avoiding each&every situation where I have to use my speech. Became quite silent person, cause I know if I’ll speak I’ll stammer, and if’ll stammer rest of the world with their arsenal to fire their advices, cures, “Nuskha’s”, and more over their tease. I was just fed up with everyday advices like be confident, don’t get nervous, pull your tongue, stretch it (like it’s a rubber band huhh).
I grew up with advices like”muh me kalimirch rakha karo” & all that crap. By the time i passed +2 I became quite a stubborn. Since I joined TISA in august 2014, and met with Sachin Sir, my perception towards my stammering changed completely. I no longer feel as stammering is a problem for me. Its more like a part of me. I have many awsm frnds like any other random guy, I enjoy life like any other random guy and the best part is people focus on what I say cause of its content & not how I speak. Stammering also helped me improving my writing skills. Yes It may sound funny but due to my stammer only I focused very much on what to say and which word/language to use, so much so that I can now proudly say that I'm an okay okay type poet/shayar or whatever.... The point is I feel that It is because my stammering only that I am the Atul singh which u all know. If I wouldn't stammer I might have been a completely different person and might be not better than I am today. Stammering not only effects your speech, It effects your thoughts, your body language, your nature and in my case your soul too. I feel like me and my stammering are kind of made for each other. We often compete with each other , every time I have to give any presentation in my Institute.  And I quite enjoy that.

Jaipur SHG meets at central park

A meeting was conducted of Jaipur SHG on Sunday 5 January. Five members managed to attend the meeting and it was a good percentage as there are only 7 PWS who know about the SHG in Jaipur .

The meeting started with introduction , where Ravikant , Ravi , Pramendra , Chandan and Siddharth introduced themselves and shared their thoughts about stammering .
Most of them had positive thoughts but Chandan also focused on negative feeling associated with stammering and thus a debate started which continued till the end of the meeting .Pramendra and Ravikant managed to take some notes about the some points they found useful in the meeting .
In between the debate , the members put in some activities to serve the purpose of the meeting . The activities were round robin and singing .Round robin was accompanied with slow speech and voluntary stuttering and was done near the jogging path so that people passing from there can hear us .
Meeting was concluded with greetings and hope of meeting rather regularly . Jaipur SHG has grown more than the last year , may it keep growing .
