a student um that's a very good question i those

were very interesting questions you know nobody has asked me this so did you

think of it on the spot or did you come to the session thinking that okay i have

to ask um this today

hello hi hi Havisha good evening

hi good evening and now you have not four spectacles i can guess today

you need less classes no no i took more classes but my eyes

were feeling a bit dry so i just kept it aside and i thought i'll take the

session with you normally

okay okay so how are you doing today

i'm doing great awesome so what was the best part about

your day the best part about my day was playing

outside

yeah what games did you play and who did you play it with

a play with my friends and i played the games like ice and water i

also created which we would throw a small thing which

is i think a fruit or a seed of something we would throw it and we would

we have to

hide from it or throw it back okay all right so did you have a lot of

fun yes i had a lot of fun

fantastic great i love the way you express it you know

so that's great all right so anton may do you like surprises

uh could you repeat do you like surprises

oh yes i love surprises yeah so tell me the best surprise that

you've ever received the best surprise i think i've ever

received is that when i come back from a place my mother

when my mother would prepare a bread pizza i would love it at all a lot i

would love it

okay so bread pizza food uh is the thing that excites you huh

yeah well i think i think that there is no other surprise i had

what about your birthday presents i think they might be they could be

surprised right they could be surprised but i don't

really remember any of the birthdays presents i have

okay okay okay i get it no problem so i'll give you three options tell me uh

which present would be the most ideal for you first is a big box of chocolates

second is a you know big teddy bear or like uh some interesting toy and third

are books okay lots and lots of comic books so out of these three options uh

which one would you choose excuse me what kind of books were in the

bag only comic books or another other types of books

what type of books do you like to read i'll add those books in this list

ritual books spiritual books oh wow you're so young

and you're already interested in spirituality

yes okay that's wonderful okay so um a good

mix of comic books and spiritual books both

okay then i would like the box in which spiritual books are kept

all right so since when have you been interested in spirituality

i don't know that but yeah every day sometimes when i when i was small i

would slowly slowly it happened it was not that suddenly i came to know

okay it was a gradual process you can see that

yeah so i don't know where uh at what time and what

happened i think from the beginning i was you know copying some devotees or

something and all okay it's devotees all right devotees

okay the pronunciation yeah yeah perfect good for you i'm really pleased to know

that okay and or did you get a chance to go

through the topic of the day yes it

is a bizarre surprise right so uh would you mind telling your

viewers what is the meaning of bizarre a surprising thing or a strange surprise

excellent right bizarre means something that's very strange or something unusual

right out of the ordinary so that's the meaning of bizarre all right so i'll

give you the situation and you tell me how would you react in it okay

let's say that this weekend you and your family are hiking in a forest all right

and in the middle of the forest what is the meaning of hiking

hiking means to take a long walk either for exercise or for pleasure okay it

just means a long walk okay

all right okay so it's uh like an adventurous thing you know when

you are out and you are venturing into forests or you're in a mountain and

you're taking long walks that's called as hiking okay

okay so uh you're hiking in a forest and in

the middle of the forest you find a big black suitcase where there is lots and

lots of cash right and cash that you can use you can

put it to good use if you want all right so now you have two options right either

you take the cash with you and use it or you just leave it there

or the third option could be you take a part of it and leave the rest there

right so out of these three options which one

would you go for

i can go for i i would leave as it is you would leave it as it is so much

money yes

that's not a real earned money

and it can be someone else's so i don't and if i take i can be in a trouble also

okay uh you can say that it is not our

hard-earned money yes

okay so that is why you would leave it there all right good and uh would you

report it to the police once you um get out and meet people would you like to

tell them that there is this kind of suitcase in the middle of the forest and

would you inform them no i will not inform you anybody i'll

just inform the police okay what would you tell them

i would tell them the whole story please narrate it to me let's say that

let's imagine i'm the police person okay and you have to report uh this event so

how would you do that i would say that

i was going for a hike and i found a big suitcase with lots of cash so now you

can take care of the cash and i'm going on on my way

all right good um okay so let's say that you had chosen

the second option of uh taking the money with you simply just for imagination

okay how would you use that money what are the ways in which you think it can

be put to good use i would i would give it to needy people

who need it so can you describe it a little uh what

causes would you like to donate to suppose in an orphanage i would give it

there they need money so i'll give them but i don't need money because i have

enough money so why would i keep it for myself

okay very well that's a good answer and the first time you uh encounter uh

the suitcase now going back to the previous situation and you see this bag

just lying there with so much of money nobody around you tell me what are the

emotions that you will go through would you be scared excited worried so what

emotions would you feel i would be scared and surprised

and surprised both yes

yeah why would you be scared though scared what is this money what is

happening and it can be possible that it's a trap or something is dying

someone is has done this that that way okay you can say that it could prove to

be dangerous right uh because you mentioned it's a trap it

could prove to be dangerous if you go near it and uh take it yeah

yes okay great good

and where would you hide the money uh again

if you decide to take it with you uh how would you hide it

i would hire it in my house do you think that would be safe do you

have any other creative ideas going in your mind how else you can hide it

i could buried

okay that's good so have you seen such movies where uh

people encounter such bizarre surprises and

they deal with such situations have you watched any shows related to this or if

you've read any books on a similar context please let me

no i have not read on similar context and i have not even seen movies well i

don't watch movies and mostly these type of movies are not of my age so i don't

watch them at all okay okay all right what kind of shows do you like to watch

whenever you get free time and when you get the remote from your brother so what

channels do you turn on i'll turn on some

some scenarios of like mahabharata and

all i'll turn off those types of cereals all right so

um so mahabharata have you watched a few episodes on that

yes okay do you have any favorite character

yes please tell me a little about your

favorite character there it is

i have two favorite characters and different

ways one is arjun and another is your sister

okay good choices can you tell me um what are the qualities that you admire

in arjun and then you can tell me what are the qualities you admire in

yudhisthira in arjuna i admire that

he his chariot was lord krishna and he were and

he asked the questions to krishna and because of

the main parts of bhagavad-gita was also arjun and krishna that's why i like

arjun and well although he had some

he could not control his anger he would tell bata about the truth and all

but uh was a very nice person he was ideal for

and that he was ideal for truth that's why i like you sister as well as

arjun but more

okay fine you know i'll tell you a new word the word is called as epitome all

right it's spelled as uh e-p-i-t-o-m-e okay epitome means the

best example or the ideal like you called it right he is the epitome of

righteousness or he is the epitome of truth

you can say that okay

okay fine and when you are talking about arjun um you could have said that the

bhagavad-gita was revealed to arjun by krishna right it was revealed to him

yeah or it was narrated to him so any one option if you want you can choose

all right okay

okay so have you watched uh the entire mahabharata are there a few episodes

spending well i don't watch episode wise i simply

whatever comes in in front of me i simply wash it off

okay uh randomly yeah okay that's good and uh who is your

partner when you watch these shows who do you like to watch it with

my sister yeah what's her name

harika and she's also interested with spirituality like me also so i like to

watch it with her okay wonderful so she's your partner in

crime

so fine then again you answered really well uh just make a note of all the new

words or phrases that you learned and go back uh to the recording all your

previous recordings and keep revising from that okay so that's the only

feedback to you apart from that you're a very very very good speaker that for

your age i think you're phenomenal okay

so do you have any questions for me no

no questions yes no questions no there is a question

that uh uh

what made you join clapping as a teacher

okay i love i love the english language okay

and i wanna outlet

through which i could practice it and can you hear me

your video went off okay your video is also stuck

but i can hear you a bit

you are stuck and i cannot hear you again i think the network is occurred

i cannot hear you but i can see you uh what about now

yes ma'am now i can hear you okay okay let's proceed uh the reason i

joined clapingo was because i love uh the language english and i

also wanted to become a better communicator myself all right and the

only way in which we can become good at spoken english is by practicing it daily

and on clapping i got the opportunity to meet with so many new interesting people

um who taught me a lot of things and i helped them a little bit with english so

my passion for english brought me to this platform

what brought you to clapping well i don't know really but just my

mother told me to join she told that it will improve my fish that's right and

and madame uh you told that your forward practice so why did you only choose to

join clapping was a teacher why not as a student

um that's a very good question i think i had spent a lot of years in school as a

student i studied in an english medium school right and i had just completed a

few certification courses and diploma in english training and i wanted to use

that skills that i had learned so i thought okay i'm done being a student

now it's time to be a teacher so i joined as a tutor here

okay okay those were very interesting

questions you know nobody has asked me this so did you think of it on the spot

or did you come to the session thinking that okay i have to ask uh meghamam this

today i already asked this question to someone

else and uh in between the call was cut so i thought i'd ask

every tutor and let's see what the answer says

okay fine maybe in the end you can tell me what was the most interesting reason

that you have found yeah uh interesting reason about what

no no you have heard a lot of speakers give you reasons right like why they

joined clapping uh later you can tell me which reason was the most interesting

like which tutor gave the most interesting or unique reason to join

clapping the unique reason to join clap and go i

have not you were the first one i asked and i got

the answer oh okay i'm at the first one all right okay i think there's still

time for others to answer that yeah i asked

another tutor but in the between the call was cut so i couldn't hear it

properly okay okay okay all right so we still

have uh three more minutes left before the session can get cut so in if you

have any other doubts or queries related to english or anything in general please

feel free to let me know okay so in your background i can see

that there is a bed so i have a question that

place as i have this or you make always different according to the situation
