stammer, is going to happen in India this year end. I feel privileged
to be a part of this initiative, and look forward to be there as a
participant. For me, meeting other people who stammer has always been
a solace. In the conference I look forward to meet a lot more people
who stammer, under one roof. There’s nothing like sharing each
other’s stories and experiences with people who have had similar
difficulties as mine. At the conference, I also look to network with
stammerers with different backgrounds across the country and get to
know the similarities and differences with the experiences a
stammerer goes through.
a 2-day workshop. TISA workshops have always been a ‘learn while
having fun’ activity, and during these 2 days I look forward to
learn lots of things from the experience of Dr. Sachin, JP and others
from TISA who have facilitated several workshops across the country.
be a great opportunity to gain knowledge about stammering from
professionals like Dr. Mahapatra and other speech therapists and
experts. Learning more and gaining knowledge I believe will help
leaps and bounds as we discover our own recovery paths. Delivering a
presentation on role of writing, while sharing my own experiences
will be a one of it’s kind experience for me, and I look to put my
presentation and communication skills to test.
Wigdor Robin, is something that I am eagerly waiting for. NC is
coming with opportunities galore. It’s a new beginning, and time to
speak and say, “Yes, we have a voice!”.
beautiful coastal state – Goa. I hold a masters degree in IT, and
presently work as a Sr. Software Engineer in NE Technologies (Goa). I
have delve into a lot of hobbies, but I enjoy writing and graphic
designing the most, besides also trying my hands in mimicry and
singing. I love doing creative things. My ambition is to start a
business of my own some day, and my dream is to publish a novel.

the time into organizing this event. As a past leader of the NSA I know first-hand
how time consuming this process is for you and your team. And thank you for
your nice thoughts about my pod cast interview.
forward to meeting other people who stutter. Wherever I go I enjoy meeting
others who stutter. I was very excited to learn that the first conference in
India was happening when I planned to be in India. I am hoping to learn about self-help
in India as well as how stuttering is perceived by others. The social interaction time between the participants
is what I cherish the most about conferences.
The workshops are informative and great but it is the people to people
interactions and conversations that I enjoy so much. I am looking forward to meeting some
interesting people and sharing stories.

My expectations from NC….is just to have lots of fun…. meet and make new friends and of course visit bhuveneshwar…

My expectations are huge and that makes me a little nervous! But in a nice healthy sort of way. It inspires and encourages me to outperform myself. My first expectation is that we meet and discover the diversity hidden under that one small word: pws. I hope participants are relaxed, feel free to stammer or speak any which way, they want to, at any given moment, rather than be under the pressure of some kind of ISO standard of “public speaking”! Because people learn most when they are relaxed. I also hope that family members and women will participate freely and openly. I am sure people will listen to each other with respect and openness and observe time limits sincerely. While morning sessions sizzle with new information and interesting discussions – afternoon and evenings, I hope, are more relaxed and spontaneous, with movie shows, talent shows, impromptu talks and MIMICRY (watch out for Harish!).
There will be 3 (two definitely) SLPs among us. I hope to learn from them and I also hope that PWS will be able to share with them and help them too, to understand the complex phenomena called “stammering” better. Young volunteers of TISA will be managing a lot of things- I hope they will discover the hidden talent for Event Management in themselves and each other- and a team spirit will develop over three days, which will outlast decades. I will be meeting some people for the first time and that certainly makes me excited like a little boy on first day of the school! I am definitely looking forward to meeting Professor Mahapatra and Dr Elaine. Finally, I hope TISA will set a Gold standard for all the future NCs and chart a clear path for self help among people who stammer. Haklao magar Pyar se! Yes, why not?

I hope i will surely attend this first and biggest function that is
National conference of stuttering. These are my expectation which i will
hope that we will try to fulfill there.
1. I will surely get a
chance to meet all the recovered stammers who achieve this with great
patience and courage. It will be most good thing for me.
2. I will get a chance to make good relationship with them and increase my social skills
as well as my friend circle.
3. If i would lucky then I will got a chance to perform on stage which is my all time dream.
4. It will also increase my patience and listening skills by listening a lot of sound from stuttering mouths 🙂
5. There will be a good atmosphere to use my techniques like bouncing etc. and it will lead to more acceptance and fearless.
6 I will surely enjoy a lot of talk about stammering and it’s experts and public view on it.
7. I will enjoy the new place and new friends. I really love traveling to new places.
8. Last but not least is, no one can stop me there to stutter 🙂
