DELHI GRAND SHG MEETING 28 – FEBRUARY – 2016
The Delhi SHG has constantly been aiming to
better itself and introduce new and innovative activities. It recently
organized a ‘Grand SHG’. Members from outside Delhi were also encouraged to
attend it. Ravi Jagga, our IT guru,
managed to promote the event well and in the process got confirmations from
about 4-5 new members. However, only one new member turned up. The total
attendance was about 25.

The meeting was hosted by me, Maadhav Anand
Kumar, and Vikas Ranga. The meeting began with a rousing speech by Vikas which
inspired people and had them in splits. His speech had elements that every
stutterer could instantly relate too and his activist-like tone gave it a
humorous quality. We had earlier thought of focussing the meeting on the new
members and making it like an introduction to TISA and what we do here. But
because of the conditions ( only 1 new member being present) we had to think on
our feet and make adjustments. Luckily we had Lalit Sir, Sikander Sir and
Mohammed Tahir amongst us. We hosted a Q and A session with them, where all
those present could ask any questions they wished to them. We also got hear the personal stories of each
of these members about what challenges they faced and what helped them change..
We also had sessions where we took feedback from people about the SHG meetings
and their experience about the communication workshops. This was especially
beneficial for those who are relatively new in our SHG.

Our group meeting caught the attention of
outsiders as well. While some just gazed at us curiously, there was one person
who wished to be a part of the meeting. He said he saw a group of people
sharing their experiences and feelings openly and this is what attracted him.
It was only later when we told him ourselves that he realised we were all
stammerers! He listened intently and was enjoying himself.

We broke for lunch at about 2:15. Though we
had planned to assemble back by 2:45, only about half had returned by 3:00. They
played a game that Sachin sir had taught us and got to hear more stories from
Lalit sir and left. Connaught Place is a expensive place for roti sabzi eaters,
So other group to find good food options walk upto very far as most are sick
they only want roti sabzi and upto 04 PM other group reached and other group do
activities in Central Park upto 05:15 PM like experience sharing etc and also
we arranged home tea also which we all enjoyed specially Amit Dixit ji after food in Central Park
couple of times. Even when other group reached Central Park at 04 PM the main gate is too far so we all tried jumping 5 feet iron sharp fencing. Starting maximum denied to jumped but when one jumped then all other jumped one by one.

We are really changing the world and peoples attitude towards stammering.
The day is not far when it won't be looked down as an inferiority in any way.
It would be just a way of speaking i.e. Transfluents.
My best wishes to Delhi SHG.
May all beings be Happy.
