Top questions from NC!

We will be taking up questions asked by participants during NC. here are the first lot:

  1. How acceptance is not “Giving up”? (By Anshuman)
    Both are different. TISA suggests: Accept that you actually stammer and that right now there are no universal, easy magic cure. Because no one really knows the cause. Having accepted these well known facts, you should focus on what is in your hands: Communication skills.
    Learn them and practice them- beginning from your Self help group. Gandhi ji, once said: Non-violence is not same as cowardice- even though they may seem same outwardly. Non-violence is meant for brave only, not cowards. 
    Similarly, Acceptance and "giving up" may seem same in stammering context but in reality both are poles apart. Giving up stems from pessimism. Acceptance emerges from "Realism" and is driven by common sense based on Realism.

NC : खुद को पहचानें, खुद को सार्थक करें - डा. सत्येन्द्र श्रीवास्तव

नई दिल्ली में आयोजित टीसा की तीसरी नेशनल कांफे्रन्स के अंतिम दिन 6 अक्टूबर, 2013 को टीसा के संस्थापक, डा. सत्येन्द्र श्रीवास्तव (सचिन सर) ने अपना प्रेरणादायी उदबोधन दिया। प्रस्तुत है उनकी स्पीच के सम्पादित अंश -

एक साथ 100 से अधिक हकलाने वाले व्यक्तियों से मिलकर मुझे बहुत प्रसन्नता हो रही है। मैं आपके साहस की प्रशंसा करता हूं कि आप लोगों को अपनी हकलाहट को सामने लाने का प्रयास किया। यह स्वीकार करने के लिए साहस की जरूरत होती है कि आप या आपका बच्चा हकलाता है। खासकर हकलाने वाली महिलाओं की उपस्थिति निश्चित ही एक नए अध्याय की शुरूआत है।

NC : चमत्कार को नमस्कार!


टीसा की नेशनल कांफ्रेन्स में 100 से अधिक लोगों का शामिल होना किसी चमत्कार से कम नहीं है। एक हकलाने वाले व्यक्ति की जिन्दगी में तो यह एक सपना है, खुली आंखों से देखा गया सपना।

इस सफल आयोजन के लिए टीसा के संस्थापक डा. सत्येन्द्र श्रीवास्व और नेशनल को-आर्डिनेटर जयप्रकाश सुंडा के मार्गदर्शन में दिल्ली स्वयं सहायता समूह के सदस्यों ने समर्पित होकर इस कठिन और असंभव से लगने वाले कार्य को संभव कर दिखाया है।

दिल्ली स्वयं सहायता समूह के प्रमुख अभिषेक वर्मा, जितेन्दर गुप्ता, विशाल गुप्ता, ललित पाण्डेय, प्रमेन्द्रसिंह बुन्देला, सिंकदर जी आदि ने सराहनीय योगदान दिया है।

इस क्रम में टीसा के नए नेशनल को-आर्डिनेटर मणीमारण जी, कोर टीम के सदस्य तारक गढोदिया और सहायक नेशनल को-आर्डिनेटर हरीश उसगांवकर ने भी हर संभव सहयोग किया।

सभी प्रतिभागियों के ओर से आयोजकों को बधाई, आभार, साधुवाद!

जय टीसा!

Greetings to all the participants of TISA National Conference 2013.

Here's sharing my experiences with TISA and how attending NCs helped me-

3rd नेशनल टीसा कोंफ्रेंस, दिल्ली

हेलो फ्रेंड्स मैं अनिल,

      वैसे बोस के तरफ से छुट्टी मिल नहीं रही थी, फिर भी बहुत रिकवेस्ट की तो मान गए | पर वर्क लोड ज्यादा था तो ५ दिन की छुट्टी की जगह २ दिन की ही मिल पाई, चलो ठीक है, कहते है न-   नहीं मामा से काना मामा अच्छा | पर डिसाइड किया तब  कम दिन बचे थे, तो आने की टिकिट कन्फर्म नहीं थी, पर चलता है| कुछ पाने के लिए थोडा बहुत खोना भी पड़ता है|

National Conference,Delhi- 4 - 6 Oct'2013 - Day 1

We kicked off at our scheduled time of 9 Am.

The number of participants were about 40 at the start, hence, the Anchor, Mr.J.P.Sunda get to play a few energizers to make everyone relaxed and familiar to everybody else. By the end of these energizers, good amount of participants were gathered in the hall

Quick update

Just heard it from Ashish (Bhaddi) over a bad phone line:
1. To begin with there were about 40 people at 9 am. But by 10-11 am hundred plus participants were there in the hall..
2. JP shared many energisers which helped participants to get familiar with each other, laugh and relax. (Bravo JP!)
3. Karthik and Vishal gave a very nice presentation about using online services to conduct a virtual SHG..
4. Abhishek was seen zooming around like greased lightning (=very fast) organising many things..

Then we got disconnected! Keep checking for more updates and photos..
Participants, when you are fully energised by JP's ice-breakers, take some time off and share your experiences here- pleeeeeease!

Proposal for Communication workshop at chandigarh

TISA Chandigarh chapter is aspiring to conduct a 2 or 3 days communication workshop at chandigarh.

The concrete idea behind the proposal is that most of the members of chandigarh  chapter are not attending the national conference, hence why don't we organize a workshop then.Also, the last workshop that happened in chandigarh was way back in mid 2011.

The final confirmation about this even will be done after national conference.

Although, tentative proposed dates are

Option 1-  11,12,13 october

Option 2- 18,19,20 october.


Requesting all interested members to comment with their mobile numbers and preference, wither option 1 or option 2

Thank you JP, Welcome Mani!

Dear Friends

As per a core group decision reached earlier this year, JP, having played an interesting and very useful innings, culminating in NC 2013, will be stepping down and handing the baton to Mr Manimaran, the new Coordinator TISA on 4th October, the first day of NC 2013. Let us welcome Mr Manimaran and thank JP for all that he has contributed to us unreservedly! He will continue to participate and guide as a core group member, we are sure.
