This is the name of the sure cure book written by Partha Bagchi which I ordered around 1.5 years ago (before my association with TISA). in search of fluency.The cost of the course was Rs 4500.So i naturally thought that for such a huge amount of money i would be getting lots of stuff but […]

“If you can live through a childhood of stuttering, you can live through anything. And if you go into adulthood still stuttering, you can handle anything… You have been tempered by the fire.” David Seidler (scriptwriter – The King’s Speech)
TISA has around 19 SHG initiatives across the country. But the bitter fact is that only a few of these are able to meet regularly. Why do you think this happens? What are the challenges faced by the SHG Co-ordinators to keep going with SHGs and making the meetings happen regularly? What could be the […]
Hi everyone,from today I will be starting a new series called Stuttering Benefits in which I will be discussing things which I have got due to my stammer.I have spent years blaming it on how it has ripped me of various things( though 99% of the time I was just imagining things) but now I […]

Prideful Humility!!!! Isnt it surprising….

Dear all, Due to the lack of enthusiasm in all of us for organising the first National Meet, we have accepted the bid of IHS( http://www.ihsindia.org/ ) at Bhubaneshwar. No, actually, we approached them and they kindly agreed to our request! This sets all of us free to concentrate on participating, rather than worrying about […]
Recently i have been lucky to review very honest mini biography of a stutterer (enlightened stutterer actually 🙂 Mr Russ Hicks from USA. So here i go…. ‘Don’t seek, search or demand – just RELAX. If you relax. it comes. If you relax, it is there &you start vibrating with it.’ This is what comes […]

Four of us- Rahul, Yatin, Babaji and I (Harish) met today looking forward to a fun-filled SHG meeting. A friend was kind enough to lend us his office premises to conduct our meet. We started with 5 minuites of meditation, to relax our minds and get refreshed for the meeting ahead. Getting started, we then […]
Here’s a suggestion coming… Since TISA is a support group, it would be great if members could convey their availability (time and date) on particular days when they can afford to speak to some of other PWS across the country. Many a times we have experiences, thoughts and opinions which we may hesitate to discuss […]
I was listening to a track from the movie “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” called “Toh Zinda Ho Tum…” Liked the lyrics of the song, so created an image using one of my favorite photographs. Checkout the image and the lyrics. Hope you’ll like it. Dilon mein tum apni betabiyan leke chal rahe ho…Toh zinda ho […]
I never stuttered right from birth. I was completely fluent, and a normal person till the age of 10. Of Course there were few things that differentiated me from the average child, when I was a kid. I used to be fickle-minded, not being able to decide what to do in an exciting situation. I […]
Humor is something that no one can have enough of.And if you are anything like me,a person with a good sense of humor would also attract you a lot.No one likes to talk to a person who gets upset at the slightest thing.I personally cant be good friends with a person who is serious all […]
