Today one of the new Members while introducing himself cheerfully said that he was
happy to see stutterers from different parts of India and that Stuttering is not limited to his home state!! To that, one remarked that it is quite an international issue and who knows may be aliens also stammer!! 🙂
that the monsoon clouds are soon coming,
there is a strange silence in the ears,
the sky gets darker and darker,
the flash of lightning illuminates the dark
skies,
the sound of thunder fills the heart with fear.
starts coming down,
slowly at first, but heavy little later,
the gutters and drainages suddenly fill up,
and water starts flowing down the streets.
pouring rain for a while,
the clouds start to break up and scatter in the
sky,
the sun comes out playing hide and seek with the
clouds,
the sun rays form the magnificent rainbow across
the skies.
to the Bangalore SHG meet for the second week of June 2013.
The
ambience was illuminating with the presence of Sairam,
Akash, Navdeep, Abinav, Nishil,
Shrikar,
Jagjit Singh, Dinesh, Avinish, Anbu, Lohith, Navneet, Anand, Arun, Karthik,
Pramod and myself Nayeem. We
started at sharp 2:00 pm.
The first
activity for the day was public reading. Each member read one page from the SHG
manual. This was a warm welcome for new member Anand and Navneet who has joined
today as they began their SHG journey by reading the chapter 3: Do you stammer?
make this reading more interesting the slowest reader Sairam and the fastest
reader myself Nayeem were allowed to read at the same time, to achieve
synchronization I had to read slowly and practiced it too.

second activity was about introductions we undertake every week in SHG
meetings. It was good to meet people from various backgrounds joining the SHG.
Jagjit Singh is a freelancer working on 3D modeling. Anand worked as a
technician in a machine factory in Pune.
the introductions we had well known SHG member Arun who introduced himself and
also broke the sweet news that he got a job as a Chartered Accountant in
Ranganathan & Co.
third activity is about the public speeches in the toastmaster’s style.
The
five speakers dominated the public speaking stage electrifying the whole group
through their eloquent speeches.
Avinish: Dreams and way to achieve it.
who focused on the following things for achieving dreams
Desire & Visualize
Plan & Action
Periodic review and sustained motivation.
thanks to Sairam for evaluating the speech.
Pramod: Devil’s Advocate
Pramod as delivered a classic as always.
shared and acknowledge that this speech contained many words which are
difficult to utter for PWS.
thanks to Lohith for evaluating the speech.
Jagjit Singh: Devil Tomatoes
speech. This narration has engulfed the whole audience and they drifted into
the visualization of his creative story which shows the effect of chemicals on
foods, taking the example of tomato and how it changed a village folk into
monsters.
thanks to Anbu for evaluating the speech.
Akash: Food
emphasized the kind of food people are having in the current generation. Interestingly,
he has taken an example of a monkey and shown how their diet differs from us.
The punch line being most healthy foods are not good at taste and eat simple to
stay healthy.
thanks to Shrikar for evaluating the speech.
Karthik: No money, no honey
provoking speech on the need of money from birth till death. Karthik showed
with life experiences the need of money in every phase of life.
thanks to Navneet for evaluating the speech.
Thanks
to Nishil for playing the role of grammarian for all the speeches and Navdeep
for examining the filler words used by all the speakers.
behalf of the members of the SHG group, I wish Anand, Navneet a warm welcome
