The First Blast - what an experience!
A big shout out to Tabindah and Ammar - you guys were awesome! I am so proud of you both - I know you have touched the hearts of many people out there. Kudos to you and a great big Thank you for saying such positive things about the PSA. For me, this was a new experience and realization about myself. While watching myself on the show - I felt really raw and exposed, because this time I stammered so much more - and the 1st time i was frighteningly fluent. I know I always told myself that it was nothing to be ashamed about - and to a great extent, I know that and believe it ...watching myself stutter on the show made me realize the depth of my love for fluency that i've held on to over the years. This experience, as far from ideal as it may be in my head, I think it was important and necessary in order for me to move that one step forward in truly becoming comfortable with my speech. I think, it's a good thing to put your weaknesses out there sometimes and to accept and show your struggles. It keeps things human and real, I think. Now people will not think I'm cured, but know that I really do have my good dayd and bad days. All I feel right now is gratitude. THANK YOU all for your support and for giving me the courage to move forward. :) I'm humbled and honored to be a part of this awesome group! Julia

Answer : i never thought that we had an organisation working for such a thing in Pakistan, the interview was really revealing...thank you Julia for sharing and educating us especially me about stammering.Although by ALLAH'a grace i can speak normally but a few times have met people who do. What i liked the most in your interview was when you said that one must be patient while talking to someone who stammers and try not to complete words for them yet keep an eye contact(a positive eye contact). Hats off to you guys may ALLAH ALMIGHTY bless you all.I wish you guys had a platform in Lahore,or if u ever think of having one here,i would love to be a part of this Association and help you guys in any way i can. take care regards: Moneeb

Answer : Dear Moneeb, It's always heart warming to see folks who don't stammer wanting to sincerely help our cause. It's really admirable and I truly appreciate it. Thank you! We really really want to start a chapter in Lahore and I think it'll happen sooner than later. We have a few contacts now and there are so many people wanting to get this off the ground that it won't be long. I'll add you to my lahore list (if you don't mind) and keep you posted on what's happening. You can also feel free to join our yahoo group: pakistanstammering@yahoogroups.com if you'd like to be updated on PSA happenings. Thanks again for your kind words, blessings and generosity! Kind regards, Julia

Answer : Hey hey Jules ;), it was one heck of an experience yar, even I am bummed of the fact that they didn't show the url on the show. I hope people search it online though. But seriously we all stammered comfortably and we all looked awesome didn't we :D. I want to congratulate you and Ammar for being so candid about your stutter and it made me feel comfortable about mine too. Love you all :))))

Answer : Hello Julia,how are you? well we can add each other on msn or some other chatting application where we all can interact more... then we have to come up with more ideas to attract more people to the forums. set up a time in a week or so when who so ever can get online should come join us and we all can share our views and also get to know each other...
