WHAT I LEARNED FROM THIS WORKSHOP –
After failing from so many interviews I’m feeling very low . so, i want to join a Tisa activity at any cost . and this workshop is a boost for me . It teached me alot . The love ahmedabad SHG and Vipul bhai , Dhruv , Roshan bhai , Smit , Shailesh , Anil given me , i cant explain in words. and they all are ispiration for me including Dr. Sweta , Sajesh , Yosuf . I learned from them , They all are like my family members , they all passed through same phase through which I’m going on . If Sajesh Can be a Salesman , If Sweta Can be a Lecturer , If Mitesh bhai own his shop , if Vipul bhai can do his HR work , Then why I’m so depressed . I am a part of family where people understand me. No one laughs on me when i stammer . If i have choice i will never left that workshop. I Still Remember MR. Anjan Ghosh , He come from Kolkata to join this meeting . he is a inspiration for me , The smile on his face is a proof . He lived a succesful life with his stammer . First time in life i thanked god to made me a stammerer . i have such a huge family , I have so much to learn about communication. I feels Blessed to be born with STAMMER . I’m from that 1% lucky people who have this diversity. Who can see this world with silence . Love You TISA . If i have a choice so , i want to propose my stammer . Keep Teaching me best lessons of my life . And never leave me alone , I feels Scared when you are not with me . I love you Stammering , Wanna live with me for my whole life.

Congrats to Ahmedabad SHG for the success, and congrats to Bhupendra on gathering the courage to fall in love and “proposing” his stammer

TISA can do many more such workshops – PROVIDED some one (like Vipul) can take the charge of organising it… So, please consider volunteering for this. Before you think of a Comm Workshop, run a SHG for a few months.. and then, take the leap!
TISA thanks you in ADVANCE!!
