A new oppurtunity wanna catch it

Dear all pws,
As all we know that TISA is like a name of god for the people like me(means those who stammer).I am an adult pws who is college going. After semester exams, it is about one and half months free time for me . I can do many other works in this free time but I don’t think that no work has higher priority for me rather than to work on my speech. yes ,I am stammer and I want to come out from it, have to catch all the opportunity I got. I asked sachin sir to make a workshop for us as we are about 4-5 students. Sachin sir agreed to do so. He told us that there will be more fun and joy in the workshop if there are some more members. It will be nice if you come with at-least 8 or 9 people to join a mini workshop here in herburtpur. I talked some other pws but some how I ready to manage only 2 more guys who doing jobs. So we are 6 members who are ready till date (umesh, abhishek, ashish, dhurva, rakesh, sandeep rajoria). But we needed more. So I put this here on blog that anyone who is free and wanna come with us so that we have great fun. You can do it. If you do it. I will certainly not lag behind. It will be three day workshop and everything like will be chandigarah workshop. Possible dates will be at the end of July weekend. So you have two weeks to manage other things.Anyone who is interested can call me at 08529982551, 09813973747. Or can mail to me at umeshrawat1987@gmail.com . for further details you can also contact to sachin sir satsri@gmail.com

3rd day at Herburtpur workshop

Today blogger was not available throughout the day. i tried a lot to put my blog here but nothing work so i m posting so late it.

3rd day in herburtpur workshop:-
on third day, i was not so much happy because my two colleagues had left me alone . but i never thought that this day will become most memorable day of my life. i m proud of mine because my stammering provide me such opportunity to meet such nice people which i never met in life. Sachin sir do it again. he gave us t-shirt on which it is a slogan written that "haklaao magar pyar se". we all wear it and the thing which impress me is that i am a stammer and i still hesitate to wear it and sachin sir who is not a stammer anymore wear it first than us. then we took some photographs and talk to our friends on phone in presence of sachin sir. ok then we thank to the support staff of anugrah building . after it we go to the smagra where we have to meet with Canadian student and act as stammering expert there. first we watched some stammering videos with them. and after this they interviewed us, ask us many questions like when it started to u? how your life affected by it ? how you feel when people laugh at you? how your study and other aspect of life changed due to it? at that time , i answered all the questions very gently because at that time i was stuttering expert. i don't feel any pressure and feel very pleasure after doing this. after this they people gave us their views about how they understand our problem and how they educate the society about this. we all feel that we are very lucky ones because even fluent person sometimes not get such opportunities. we are proud of ourselves. one of my pws friend rakesh said that now i understand that we are not the unfortunate ones. we have missed many golden period in our past life. but this stammering also provide us many other things in life which a non-stutter never get. i agreed to this fact. there we also give small presentation. and in the returning way, we are so happy that we all sing song together. really nice feelings. thank you dr. sachin for doing so much efforts for us. and one nice thing i learned is that. my name is umesh rawat and i am a stutter :)

4th day at Herburtpur workshop

hello to all....

4th at herburtpur workshop:-
This is the final day of our workshop because only 4 member are left now. but i really want to attend the workshop for all five days. but i was quite satisfied by my performance on the final day. on this day, we all play role in small drama. Sachin sir gave us a 2 page script . After reading it we have to memorize our dialogues and play our role. It seems to be easy but it is really very hard. Because in a play, there is always a pressure of delivering good dialogue and emotions. sometime it is hard to remember that what we have to speak and when. but after taking 2 or more takes we delivered it very well. the audience claps for us. really nice feeling because we people always fear from these type of stage activities since from our childhood. the best thing of Sachin sir today is that he provide us a situation to talk with the females. it is very nice to tell them that we are stutter and they are more soft than men on this topic.
After this, we have to prepare ourselves for an mock interview. we provide a short resume to sachin sir and he gave this to the faculty of interviewer panel. at this time , i was quite open about my stammering and does't feel any fear about facing the interview. and when i go to the interview panal and i found that i am so much normal and giving answers so much soflty, slowly and without blockage by using simply bouncing. Interviewers was quite impressive with me. At last,i ask them their feedback. they said" you are quite clear in your thoughts, you have good leadership qualities but one thing of your is not good to listen. i ask what. they told me that when someone ask you that what is your weakness then never say them that your stammering is your weakness like today you said. instead of it ,you can say that my stammering is my best strength. these lines quite impress me and i am very thankful to this supporting staff that remind me such important thing in my life that i almost have forgotten. stammering is not a weakness of ourselves, it is our strength if we take it in a positive manner.
At last we make a some chat with sachin sir and ask our personal questions. In the evening , we step out for our destination. but this time we were not alone. we had packed with good memories and nice friends .we promised each other to be in touch.
Thanks to all friends and dr. sachin who show us a light to come out from a dark cave.
now we became a member of large tisa family. we all hope that we attend at least one another full workshop in presence of sachin sir. th th thank you and b b bbye.
my name is umesh rawat and i am a person who stutter.

sachin said...: Dear Umesh, thanks again for your valuable feedback. Now, do one thing- go back and read your first post and then this last one. And notice the difference. In my estimate- in just 3/4 days, your writing style has undergone a clear change. You are thinking clearly and writing it down with clarity. And if you persist in writing, your thinking and talking- both will improve dramatically. THIS is the reason, I encourage IPWS to write!; May 14, 2011 5:28 AM
J P Sunda said...: Along with the change in your writing skill, I can c a big change in ur attitude towards u and ur stammer!! Keep marching forward...We may be having a workshop in chandigarh soon. I would be so happy, if u can join us!; May 14, 2011 9:13 AM

2nd day of herburtpur workshop

2nd day of herburtpur workshop:-
This is most important day of our workshop. Dr. sachin sir gave us a form which contains some questions related to stammering. we have to interview these questions to our fellow pws members. As we know that talking on stammering makes us more sensitive and it is not an easy thing for us. i interviewed rajender sharma and vice versa. I feel very satisfactory after doing this thing.i shared my old bad memories of stammering with them. but after it, sachin sir tell us that now the same interview we have to take of unknown people. This thing is very hard for me but i accepted the challenge because other pws are very daring then why not me. we go to the hall of lehmen hospital where lot of people waiting for their names. I was in group of mr. Rajender sharma. first i watched him how he start the talk and handle the client. He is impressive in his talking. in that mean time, Sachin sir motivated us . Rambabu is most excited and ready to take more and more interview. then I go to one of the person . I think he is Muslim. first i asked some question about stammering to him, like does he know any stammer in his life. he doesn't took interested on talk on this topic. then i changed my way of talking and add some humor to it. then he start to tell us more gently. when it finish i proud of me and feel very satisfactory. after this one of the daring task awaited for us. this time we have to announce that i am a stammer in a public hall. first time i was very shy but after watching others i also boost up. high beating touching the sky. it is really a very good experience for me.
after doing lunch , we finish watching the remaining part of unspeakable movie. this is very productive day. and now we don't feel shy on talking about stammering. now if someone want to know what is stammering then we can give them a whole big lecture. i can never do these daring task alone . th th thank you dr. sachin and my friends .

Anyway, I just wanted to say a big Thank you to Umesh! This truly helps everyone involved with setting up a workshop like this. Keep writing.. This too is a part of healing process.; May 13, 2011 8:24 PM

Facing Interviews??

TISA gets appeal for help from young IPWS facing interviews (and especially GD). Let us say, there is a discrimination against stammerers in interview (even elsewhere). But let us remember that everybody faces somekind of discrimination or other all the time in society- based on dialect, caste, dress, body shape, religion, age, gender, college you passed from etc. etc. Let us focus on solutions rather than coming thru as a 'cry baby'. Here are few things to remember:

1. Everyone stammers under stress to varying degrees- Stammering alone would rarely get you disqualified. As Keith says, your body language contributes a lot. If you react with shame and fear, to your stammering, chances are interviewer will also take a similar view of your communication. If you just carry on, chances are, no one will take notice of it.

2. You are being assessed on a large variety of criteria in an interview- communication is just one of them. You can make up by working hard on other aspects; check this link for these 'other variables':
http://www.freshersworld.com/

3. Law of probability says that if I attempt 10 interviews, I will not get selected in all ten. May be five- if the 'dice' is not weighted for or against me. Brad Cohen (after whom the famous motivational movie "Front of the class" is made), failed first 24 interviews before getting selected as a teacher, his first job! If you want something deeply, you will not care how many attempts it takes.

So, get up and get going..

sujit said...: Agree with you Sachin!!. Nice post While appearing for interviews the focus should be on content rather than the way we speak. It’s Obvious to feel bad after one stutters at some point of the interview. But what it should not do is let us minds to be occupied with it rest of the interview. I think we should train our mind and body for that. Letting the interviewee in advance does helps to some extent.; March 21, 2010 11:51 PM
UMESH RAWAT said...: i am also have to prepared for interviews these day because after 2 months , a tough time is going to start for me. I will complete my b.tech final year and have to go in search of jobs. plz provide me some confidence and boostage advices. my email is rawat_hi@yahoo.com; March 22, 2010 11:27 AM
sujit said...: Umesh, First things first. It is not a question of life and death to get job in your first or first few interviews. And it is ok if you fail in first few interviews. I failed in first three during my campus placement. You will get the job for sure, that is not a problem. Secondly, don’t just think of curing or managing the problem for the sake of interview. Because if you will do that, after that again life will become comfortable and you will forget about the problem. So.. try to solve the problem for life not for instances in it. For your interview and confidence. 1. Prepare well, this is very important. PWS give much time thinking about speech and don’t prepare well. 2. You can read motivational books (let me know if you want names of few), watch motivational movies. 3. Talk to people for guidance and advice. 4. Accept your failures and celebrate your success. Good luck!!

sachin said...: Great effort by Umesh! Congratulations. Conducting workshop takes lot of effort, preparation and commitment on the part of facilitator. So, if eight participants with lowered registration fee are not there on first day, the workshop will be postponed/ canceled- till these simple basic conditions are fulfilled. I am sure everyone will appreciate and agree with this.; July 15, 2011 8:22 PM
Anonymous said...: Every stammer should read this if he really want fluency I know some of my friends that had a stammering a lot while they are talking to stranger .... one of my friend do the practice of 1 year .in between that day he used to speak in a singing manner .he face many difficulties in that time. Now he is Lecturer in a College and doing Session Every day So stammering cure is depend upon Practice .

1st day in herburtpur workshop

hello ..this is umesh here. i have attended herbertpur stammering workshop in last week . it was really a fantastic journey for me. i was little nervous because i am going alone and first time. i was little confuse that it will cure me or not. but i feel very happy when i met other pws after reaching herbertur. i found that everyone have the same problem but everyone have its own method to manage it. i felt very light when talks about my own stammering with other pws.

1st day in herburtpur workshop:-
the first day of workshop was quite good and give me a lot of pleasure. there was 6 other pws other than me.we start workshop with formal introduction. sachin sir tell us we can stammer or use bounce in that . but there is no need of avoidance or fear. it was quite difficult for me to give my introduction because it is always embarrassing me since my childhood. but this time i give my introduction with bouncing and eye contact. it is very nice that other pws claps for us after we finish saying. here i want to say few words about dr. Sachin. all my friends say that he is god in stammering but i think he is magician. his words and way of talking directly touches our deep heart. but most important thing about him is that he doesn't give so many boring lectures like others. he believe in practicals. after few talking he always try to make us active .on first day we share many things with others in open . we play many mind games. we saw many videos on stammering. unspeakable of john paskevich is one of the fantastic movie to watch. in the evening we try little bouncing in the market. but i feared of doing this because few times it converts in actual stammering and we loose our control. but this is the thing we have to learn. At least we can first practice it with our pws friends.
i have to thank dr. sachin who is doing so much precious work for us without charge. we all thanks him from our deep heart. i will post activity of remaining days in another post.
b b bye. th th thank you.

Anonymous said...: i am use bouncing from last three months but not have get ful control of that...i do not why?; May 11, 2011 10:38 AM
sachin said...: @anon. above: Bouncing alone is not enough- you need to learn and practice a few more things, under the supervision of a coach or a speech-buddy - like being OPEN! That means, that you can use your real name in the post, without fearing anything! What are you worried about? Also, like Polio booster, you also need a booster course every few months.. sachin; May 11, 2011 6:53 PM
