हकलाहट और पैसा ...!

एक हकलाने वाले दोस्त से कल फोन पर बातचीत हो रही थी। वह बहुत निराश और दुःखी है। 5 माह से सेलेरी नहीं मिली। वह उदास रहता है। हकलाहट को नियंत्रित नहीं रख पाता। स्पीच तकनीक का इस्तेमाल नहीं कर पाता। माता, पिता, पत्नी, भाई, बहन सारे रिश्ते बेमानी लगते हैं। पैसा खुदा नहीं पर खुदा से कम भी नहीं, यह विचार हमेशा दिमाग में घूमता रहता है।

Donation to Anugrah Intivention Centre from TISA

Participants of communication workshop held at Herbertpur from 9th to 11th August'2013 have donated Rs.2500 (receipt number - 2388) to Anugrah Intivention Center.

This center works for special children in various ways: counselling of their parents, computer classes, music and drama classes, celebration of birthdays of those children etc.

The officials of Anugrah have allowed TISA, herbertpur chapter to organized their workshops and weekly SHG meetings in their premises. TISA is obliged to them and with them best of luck for their kind services.

voluntary stuttering @ lehman hospital, herbertpur

It was a rainy evening and only i was there to give company to Dr.Sachin for the weekly SHG meeting.

It is my 12th day at herbertpur.

Unlike regular SHG meeting at Anugrah meeting hall, Doc take to me lehman hospital for REAL LIFE PRACTISES.

Now, i understood why he was so keen for me to watch UNSPEAKABLE again and again.

Because he was planning to rope me for the indian mini version of UNSPEAKABLE.But now i am  relaxed that it was just a screen test as he didn't used any camera in it.

Anyways, it was my turn to do voluntary stammering with various creatures in the hospital premises.

"" Doc- Ashish, go to that red t-shirt guy and ask him, BHAI SAHAB CANTEEN KAHAN HAI and you have to stammer at the word CANTEEN with shaking your head and murmuring your lips and stretch the word alphabet as long as you can.""

I readily went to that guy and i asked the said enquiry with 3-4 easy bouncings, but didn't make those real life facial expressions that i used to face when i stuck on a real block.

Then Doc explained me that voluntary stammering means STAMMERING EXACTLY THE WAY YOU STAMMER DURING AN ACTUAL BLOCK.

Two Mighty Challenges!

I have been using an android tablet for sometime (mostly gaming!). I was wondering if there is some programmer out there, who could develop an app meant for IPWS.. once you register, a blip pops up IF you are near a TISA / SHG event, happening in next 12 -24 hours in that city? a screen which shows location and directions to reach? which warns you that Skype/Whatsapp/ Gtalk conference is happening this very moment- and whom to contact, to participate etc? 
I am not a developer, just a usual consumer- but my stuttering spluttering brain tells me that it is possible - and that it will be popular..
Second challenge: We want to create a simple animation (flash kind) for our new website. If you are good (really good) and can volunteer some time, get in touch, with us. Let us discuss..

conquer a speech block with bouncing

I am staying at herbertpur since almost last 10 days.

I am using speech techniques and talking here.

I have experienced that whenever i am falling in a speech block, suddenly i tries very hard to get out of that block and it gets worsen.
Now doing a lot of trials with my speech, i have come to experience that if in place of hurrying out of the block, i can bounce on the first alphabet of that word, it will be far better and will get out of the block in less time.

भ्रम का चश्मा!

कई साल पहले टीवी पर एक सीरियल देखा था। एक सीनियर सिटीजन को संयोग से एक अद्भुत चश्मा मिलता है। इस चश्मे को पहनने के बाद वह लोगों के मन की बात को सुन पाता है। सामने वाले उसके बारे में क्या-क्या सोच रहा है, यह सबकुछ वह जादुई चश्मा पहनने वाले बजुर्ग को बता देता है।

Toastmasters & Stammering

Toastmasters & Stammering. Can the two really go together? Many would consider them contradictory. I consider them complementary.

My experience at the previous two NCs

Dear all,

I have attended both NC ie 1st  at Bhubaneswar and 2nd at Coorg. My experience as per as stammering problem concern are more or less same with other pws like meeting so many pws at one place there by "You are not alone" feeling which comforted me,

आज मैं आजाद हूं!

हर साल स्वाधीनता दिवस पर स्कूल में कई इवेन्ट्स होते थे। मेरे पास विचार तो थे, पर अभिव्यक्त करने की क्षमता नहीं। भाषण प्रतियोगिता, वाद-विवाद प्रतियोगिता में मुझे ज्यादा रूचि रहती। पर अफसोस हकलाहट के कारण कभी इनमें भाग नहीं ले सका। जब इस तरह के आयोजन होते तो मन में बहुत निराशा उत्पन्न होती। काश! मैं भी दूसरे बच्चों की तरह माइक पर खड़े होकर बोल पाता।
