Stumbling over my words...

 Voila !
hey, guys wassup...
Happy stuttering awareness month/week/day
(22nd October !)

International Stuttering Awareness day!!
Green Ribbon -- Stuttering

Hellow... it's Vedant Mali...not from Mali Republic ( a west-African country) - I'm from India haha XD...

I'm a stutterer...

Hope you are reading this blog in good health by the grace of God.

This red-lettered day (22 Oct) …We celebrate this red-lettered day every year to encourage the 1% stuttering population or the 70 million people who stutter across the earth.

According to the national institute of speech and communication Disorders (NISCD); folks who have stammering have a communication disorder wherein their speech is broken by repetition of words or syllables or various sounds...bla bla bla...

It is significant to note that Stammering is still the only handicap at which people still laugh ! That still humiliates people..!     ~Joe Biden

There are found to be numerous reasons for stammering...

but today there is no such sure reason...

Now I'm going to put you in my shoes...to show how it feels to have a stutter...

-the worst fear of mine is to meet another stuttering person...

imagine the person comes to me and initiates to me like (hh-hii mmmy nn-nname is) and then I go (hello mmmy nn-nname is vedant) he/she should not feel that I just replicated them...that would be so awful...i mean that's the way how a stutter speaks like...

Until I was given ace counsels...from a renowned clinic...Sampark clinic.

------

I have a stammer but not a severe one...it all started when I was 9 

I don't remember it quite well, it was at its peak I almost stammered on every word but not anymore...today yet I stammer; in fact, there is a big fat proportionality sign between the situation around me and my stutter...

today I'm a student in class 10 and soon I'm gon get matriculated...umm and there is me with my #royal future in line...o boi...

but this is just nothing...there are tonnes of people out there facing worse circumstances than all of us or it could be you too...who knows !??!!

Currently, there is no direct medicine for stuttering !!! yes, there is no cure until this date...

but if there's a way in there's a way out...we can overcome it...we can have mastery over our speech trying not to stutter by practicing various strategies.

but lemme point out stuttering has nothing to do with your intelligence...

To overcome stammering all it takes is patience, practice, methodologies, perseverance, focus, proper guidance, etc, and most importantly positivity!

And if you think it's impossible to apprehend your stutter w8... you are wrong there are many people out there who've dealt with their stammer 

- American President Joe Biden stammered  !!

- One of the most famous musician & songwriter singer Ed Sheeran stammers !!

- Hrithik Roshan almost stuttered every word and now speaks heavy dialogues like anything...

-Lewis Carroll who wrote 'Alice in Wonderland also stuttered !!!

- King George IV...there's even a movie named 'the king's speech ' to show his struggle with his stutter

-Actor Nicole Kidman and Emily Blunt also stuttered and always were tagged by others to calm down...

- and many more

- finally, it's me...Vedant Mali also has a stutter !! - future Ambani haha !!

We, stutterers, face a lot of challenges in daily life situations, in everyday communications, at school, at work, at sabji market, even at ice-cream parlors, talking to new people is kinda funky task...

when it is time to give a speech in front of people...air feels heavy to my throat...things go dank...kinda D-day-like situation...alas!

that's it...now I'm a different person...I just let it go...but still trying to control it...

I got a story to tell...

…Thanks to my parents...my mother and father...who cajole me every time and are 100% behind me...even my teachers, few friends, therapists & few neighbors...

a huge thanks to them.....

Ahh here we go...that's it for this post...
