Namaste America and Hello India !!

जब ऊपर वाला देता है तो छप्पर फाड़ के देता है !! 

This is indeed true. One month back we got the opportunity to interact with students from Canada ( click here to read) and now this time we had the opportunity of interacting with students from USA.

On 29th May, 2016, a group of students from Boston University, USA arrived in India. They were here India for there mission- Operations Groundswell. The strength of the group was around 20-25. The meeting was scheduled at our favorite place- Sitaram Ashram, Dehradun.

On behalf of TISA, 13 members marked their presence from as far as Hoshiarpur and Saharanpur. For a change, most of the members from Dehradun turned up as well !! The facilitator of the meeting was none other than our mentor, guru and friend Dr Sachin.

Hello Tisa Family..!

                Back with one more meeting report.
     In this meet up we were four people. Shivaji,Chinni naik,Sandeep,Myself. We initiated the meeting with five minutes of meditation session. It followed by formal introduction round, Chinni naik and Sandeep improved a lot in giving their introduction.
                           As every week we are practicing various exercises in meeting but we are failing to follow them in that whole week at our homes. So we tried figure out what reasons making us to stop in practicing exercises regularly,and why we are not able to spare two hours of time for our stammering.People addressed the reasons in this way, which are very different from each  other.

 TISA Hyderabad chapter: meeting Report : 24th Aprl 2016 

This week,the presence of two senior most TISA members helped us to learn more about stammering. Both of them contributed to the meeting with their wide experience & depth of knowledge . Ok,let me reveal their names.They are non other than our Rajesh and Shivaji .

The session this time focused more on the often ignored simple but must to do things by anyone who want to overcome the stammering.

Rajesh came out with a set of things ,which are really helpful to us.They are :

A. Maintain a book on stammering : John Harrison , a famous personality could overcome his stammering because he noted down all his thoughts ,emotions in book when he faced stammering . So, Rajesh told us to maintain a book where we share both our positive and negative incidents about stammering .

B. No limit thinking : We shouldn't have limitations on our thought process.By unnecessarily thinking too much about the stammering ,we will stammer for sure,when we talk. Hence ,believe yourself to the core that you are the best person, in fact a master piece ...!!!

We started our meeting with meditation & introduction.

After this we have done the following activities :

1. Anxiety Control round : In this round, a person has to tell a word & the person next to him should repeat this word and add a new word .This goes on.
Aim of this activity was to increase our concentration,memory & control anxiety bcoz,we try to recollect by thinking calmly.

2. Talking with strangers : Under this activity,Ramu demonstrated how to initiate a conversation with a stranger by taking a deep breath & talking with a smiling face atleast for a minute.Everyone of us have done this later.

TISA Dehradun SHG Meeting- 21st February, 2016

Hey everyone! Hope you all are doing well. This Sunday, TISA Dehradun SHG organized the communication meet at Gandhi Park in Dehradun.

Total No of participants- 10

Name of the participants- Ashish, Dinesh Kumar Soni, Dinesh Kumar, Laxman, Harmeet, Jasmeet, Akash, Mohit, Chandra Mohan, Ujjwal (non-stammerer).

As usual, most of the members were late! From next time, we have to be more punctual otherwise it ruins all the plans. Anyways, we had 4 new members in this meet. Akash, Dinesh Kumar, Laxman and Jasmeet.

We started with the introductions. Everyone introduced themselves with an amazing stutter and clutter !! They told their name, occupation, address and phone numbers. And as usual, we had uninvited guests as well who are always welcomed to provide that deadly glare !!

In this meet, we planned to had mock interviews of the participants. For this special task, we had a special guest. Mr Ujjwal Aggarwal from Group Flyway Enterprises, a job consultancy firm based in Dehradun, came specially to conduct the interviews. In the panel, we had Mr Ujjwal and Mr Dinesh Kumar Soni, Senior Economic Investigator.

According to the "candidates" they had the actual experience of an interview and it really gave them the required exposure. At the end, Mr Ujjwal and Mr Dinesh gave their valuable suggestions to the candidates.

Then we had a 3 member role play activity. Surprisingly, this went very well. This is because most of the members were new, so we thought it might be little difficult for them. But they were so comfortable among themselves, that they performed outstandingly.

Harmeet and Jasmeet, SINGH Brothers left early as they had their business meeting arranged, Mr Ujjwal left early as he had a business appointment.

There were other things in the agenda as well but due to time constraint, it could not be completed. For the next time, we will be having a time keeper and hopefully, we will move indoor for the further meetings.

Till then, Good bye and have fun !! Haklao Magar Pyaar Se...

Communication Workshop 2016 in Dehradun, 24th Jan- 26th Jan, 2016

Comm WS Report 
Media: Times of India, Daily Pioneer, Amazing Pics (Thank you, Ashish Lakra)
Day 1: About 20 participants. Many from Delhi. One from Vijaywada. One from Makrana, Rajasthan. One from Jaunpur. A senior couple (Dhruv's parents) from Punjab. After a little intro and a little conceptual background, participants were requested to conduct mutual "stammering Interviews". Then, they went to local market for practicing the skills with strangers - also had lunch.

We gathered again at SR ashram by 3 pm. The scripts for role plays were distributed. Participants quickly went thru the scripts and assigned roles to their members. Some energizers. Some free flowing discussions - about stammering, its nature, why this or that.. We ended by 5 pm. But how can you end the ongoing discussions among pws..? Never.
So, many participants went to FRI, to carry on..

Day 2: We began at 9.30 am. Four participants (Vikas, Mohit, Ashish, Vishal) were sent off to MCF to interview the team there. Rest of us went to Gandhi Park in the heart of the city. Mrs Kathuria spoke to the person I/C of District Information Departments' pandal in the park; As a result she got us the mike, stage and the entire venue for free (you see, why we should be involving our parents in our struggles and missions..?).

We did role plays, to cheering audience. Some ex-tempore stuff, songs, Dr APJ speech by Abhay etc etc. We concluded with an on the spot role play: A funny Scene from a moving local bus. Mohit was the conductor in the great hurry. All the pws were the passengers. Buying the ticket was the crux of the play. We all had LOTS of fun.. We ended with slogan- Haklao magar Pyar se.. to which audience also joined.

Two hours later, the scene changed: we were at FRI. The vast lawns. With a mighty backdrop of a huge Victorian building.. We again staged some plays; feedback round- some fun, Ravi Teja did a Rajnikant act (mind it) - and then we returned to SR Ashram for more of unstructured discussion.. till cold and hunger made it impossible to stand and talk..

Day 3
The day began at 9.30 am with some informal feedback and discussion. Pramod ji gave a very nice Republic day speech, followed by the group singing Indian national anthem.

Shyam Sundar ji gave us a good presentation about marble industry. Ravi Teja gave a thought provoking talk about the recent suicide by a Research scholar at Hyderabad.

Random topics were given from a bowl full of small slips. Abhay did time-keeping. Outside under the trees, an interview panel was organised, consisting of Mrs Kathuria, Mr Fakhruddin Sheikh and Ms Indira Ramesh. Most interviewee did feel the heat but also enjoyed it. It was a good learning experience.

Madhav had a little stomach upset. Others were having un-ending discussions. Delhi group had planned to have the next communication workshop in Delhi - sometime in April. Some participants had plans of visiting Mussoorie (dont worry about the cold!).



Two new participants had come from Dehradun itself. They were quite impressed by our show at Gandhi park, in the heart of the town. They were advised to keep in touch with local SHG through Whatsapp. They too had their chance of giving ex-tempore presentations. At one point, we had a very interesting discussion about: In an arranged marriage, should the boy tell the girl about stammering in advance? (we will share the answer in the next workshop!!). We dispersed at 2 pm after group photo shoot. We hope to start a unit in TISA, dealing with families of PWS, with help from Dhruv's parents..
