yourself as well

apart from that i also like to read

spiritual books

and i also

and i also like to play with my siblings

ghost games especially

nice so you can you and we can relate on

that even i am interested into all those

things like you know go so do you like

reading ghost stories and watch uh like

no watching ghost documentaries anything

or you are just into ghost games

well i actually i love to watch ghost

movies but

none of the but ghost movies are not of

my age

yeah right well you know it's not really

that scary also

like obviously bollywood doesn't make

really good horror movies but even the

hollywood ones are not really that scary

and i think nowadays the kids can manage

everything so

you know they

uh so it's not that scary but okay

anyways so uh your accent is too good

how did you get the tax and since you

said that you're in bangalore i said you

i felt that you are somewhere abroad

because you really have a good accent so

how do you have that accent

well i don't learn anything

i just read my that is the way my father

and my mother talks that hasn't i

developed

okay

fine so nice nice accent you've got

there and you've got a very nice doll

there so do you have a name for that i

had a similar doll i have a similar

any any backstory

yes actually when i got the doll i uh it

was my purpose to that i'll make it i'll

just decorate it something or somehow

and make it just like

like

a radha

have you seen that topic

yes it is superheroes yes

so yeah any superhero that you like

male female

which movie did it come from and

how have you

come across this superhero

anyone

that do that

i

really i don't like any sort of

superheroes

i'm just

i have male or female i don't like

superheroes

and that is named superhero i have a

cousin brother who is very fond of

superheroes so

i was a little bit an association of

him so i just

came to know what a superhero superpower

okay and something for superheroes

so then like even though you have that

uh no connect or you like you said that

association with your cousin brother and

since he has their interest

so haven't you developed like interest

by being associated like in his company

and all because usually we

take up the interests of those

people who are in our company so

hazardous impacted you

well

not really it has not impacted me

but yes i know a little bit about it i

don't i do not take uh much associate

association of him but yes sometimes he

was his movies he explained this and

that or whatever so i simply listen

fine and are you interested in all these

i know you just told me that you don't

like superheroes but even that avengers

marvel and i don't know what they see

are you interested in all these movies

no i did i just saw it partially and i

don't know who is this what is that what

scene is it i just know i saw it

fine fine so don't your friends talk

about it like you know my friends

usually talk about these movies and i've

not seen them so it kind of feels you

know i am out of the group or i feel

left out

and they

kind of tell me that oh haven't you

watched adventures that's like the first

movie that you need to watch so don't

you feel left until your friends do not

talk about avengers marvel at all

no well i don't feel left out even if

they ask don't you know what is this

don't you know what is football or but i

know what is

this what do you know what is that i

don't feel i you know the odd one out i

just simply feel that okay they are too

much interested in that but my interest

is something else that's good everybody

has different opinions that's all what i

feel

okay that's a really nice attitude to

keep and yeah it's good to accept

something that you don't know and if you

don't know it's okay it's like you don't

have to know everything and i'm glad

that this attitude is like changing in

today's time because earlier like if you

don't know uh people ridiculous not

knowing what is trendy and all of that

but yeah now everybody has opinions and

different perspectives so anyways so if

you had a superpower or do you

want a superpower first of all and if

you want it then which one

like what superpower what do you

want well i don't think so uh

sorry i don't think so i need any

superpower i don't

i'm simple i don't within super power

and if someone gives me i will accept it

i have no need of power actually

okay so you've never thought that what

if i was like you know invisible or what

if i could just speed up things then i

could have completed my work on time or

you know if it

submitted my assignment a little earlier

or studied

better like you know i can memorize

stuff in a day

if i had that kind of superpower don't

you ever think like that

no i don't think so even if i have such

a superpower or i can say

uh uh really superpowers don't exist

actually it is just um

artificial something like

fiction

but yeah

sometimes if it if it could be possible

that a memory chip would come that i

would not even accept it because if

anything outsider yeah because if any

outside thing comes to our body which is

not natural it has side effects and i

don't want them

okay that's nice

oh it's in that way you are also aware

of the consequences and that's really

good that you're keeping consequences in

mind before taking a decision that uh so

in that way then do you take risks in

life or are you a very well planned

um

person like you calculate every

situation and then only take your

decisions or you are a person who likes

taking risks

well

i'm

sorry i'm a bit introvert so i don't

like talking and i would say that

really

um i'm not such kind of person who

wants those all things

okay so you don't really want to take

this in like that

like yeah and why do you want it

yeah i know that's taking snap seasons

is

bad but still sometimes

uh if it is a hard situation that i

should do this or that then i think of

the consequences then i decide but if

there's a no situation then sometimes i

take snap decisions

okay

fine good uh yeah it becomes very uh so

impulsivity is not very good but also

taking a time to make decisions is also

not so for for example if i talk after

talking about myself i am not a very

good decision maker in that in a way

that i can't make my decisions first

even if i have to choose between a

packet of biscuits on that shelf of the

mall i have to like think stand in front

and think which biscuit do i really want

so i take a little time in making my

decisions or choice

but it's good that you know that you

don't want to take risk and you are you

calculate the consequences

okay so then uh

in being introvert is not bad let me

tell you that first before i tell you

something else what i want to ask you so

obviously being introvert is not bad

it's what you want and what you are but

have you ever felt that uh if you were

an extrovert your life would be

different or you are you know happy as

you are

no i'm happy as i am

okay

and

if you were

if you were an extrovert how different

would your life be

oh i would be you know very talkative

and almost uh my tj would scold me a lot

schools schools uh other children who

talk a lot she would school so i also

get into the crowd

yes right

okay so there's a small little

misconception uh about introverts not

very common but some people tell me that

okay introverts find it difficult to

make friends how much do you how far do

you agree with this statement or do you

disagree with this statement completely

well i find it a little bit uh

truthfulness

sometime with a pinch of salt i accepted

you know

you know i think that

yes it is a bit difficult because we

don't talk much and friends are you know

very much

if they are talkative we talk to them in

a contact then they will become friends

and no doubt they will become friends in

two days

yes but but we are an introvert it may

take time but we if we help each other

we will be friends so it is not

much

yes that's true

like you said that's really a nice way

of putting it that with a pinch of salt

i accept the sentence or the statement

and um i agree and especially don't you

think in today's time you know sometimes

people who put or make their private

lives very public they put each and

every detail of their story is up i'm

able to socialize little better than

people who are little you know

introvert or do not want to share much

about themselves or do you think that

it's okay if the in friendships that

give and take is not always there like

you know i share all my secrets with you

and then you share all my secrets with

me and then only we can be called best

friends

what what is your opinion about this

well i don't think so sharing secrets is

a good idea because in nowadays there

are people who are you know

cheat us

they are sometimes it can be possible

that we are hiding something for our

madam this situation happened with me i

was hiring something from madam i did

not like um um i was uh

three i was in third standard or fourth

standard

and i was

not liking uh i was do not like a madam

who's named anita mom and because she

changed my seat i you know as i'm an

introvert

i like to sit alone without anybody so i

would last a bench alone without anybody

she changed my seat somewhere else so i

did not like it so

one day my

uh friend adventure anvita she

we both broke up we were not friends

anymore so okay

i just she started writing something

which she would not show me then i

started writing something which i would

not give her

i just wrote for the people i hated the

people i loved so what did she do she

asked you show me yours i'll show you

mine

mine so i agree to it i rubbed something

which is vinita madam one which is not

good i thought it will not be good

sharing but i was careless that i should

not uh rabbit she may ask but i simply

did it being careless so i gave it to

her she gave it to me nothing special in

hers just a game she was playing and

when she

mine she you know she cheated me and

took the she read the rubbed one which

was not nicely rubbed and she told

vinita and everybody else so i do not

like it

so it is not

when we should share everything and i i

think it is not good to share everything

we have yes

okay so that's very nice so how old are

you if i may ask

and if you don't mind

i'm 11 years old

very nice so i think you are very uh

intellectually mature if i have to say

in that way you think about the world in

a very different way than most kids

usually do of your age and that's really

nice and i to agree with you that

best friends doesn't mean that you have

to share everything

that there needs to be something that is

for yourself

and it should go with you to the grave

kind of thing so yes uh anyways i have

to give you feedback so it was a lovely

conversation i enjoy talking to you

actually and good listening to you

uh you're going in the right way i can

say in terms of thinking and all uh in

terms of english i think you are fine

only the thing that i told you that you

need to change little is the well that

records in your sentences apart from

that uh vocabulary

okay you still have a lot of you know

time to improve on your vocabulary uh

but as much as you can introduce

yourself with new words try to read

something which you can

uh get new words or catch hold of some

new words grammatical errors weren't

there that much so you were fine fluency

is good keep practicing and keep talking

as much as you can

and although you don't like talking i

think like the session requires you to

talk

yeah only just do that yes yeah anyways

it was good talking to you i'll see you

someday

bye

bye

bye see you again yeah bye i know you

told your friends

[Music]

it hurts too
