start up my own business

okay about i don't know something and

i'm trying to do that i am

right now

let's see where it works out

okay so what is your favorite subject

what is my favorite subject

uh

money

oh much

yeah oh yeah look the subjects that we

have in school are a little bit

different from the subjects that we have

in college

yeah because like in college we kind of

learn about the real life applications

that we'll have to use in our future

okay that's pretty much that we focus on

in our colleges

hey

yeah wait we shall i need to ask you a

question if you do not mind i just want

to ask you a really small question is

that fine

yes

yeah okay so

you know okay how old are you i did not

get that i followed that

11 years old 11 years old yeah sorry 11

years old for an 11 year old you're

pretty much confident you're very

confident i've said

so like how long have you been speaking

in english

how wrong i've been speaking speaking in

english well am i clapping with my

previous teachers told that i make

mistakes and you're not wrong how long

how long since when have you been

speaking not wrong you're not speaking

wrong

okay so how long

that um

that i don't know but yes i thought i

don't talk with in english um

more

and my mother thing is

hindi and in school also i don't talk

much so you can say that i don't talk in

english much

you don't talk in english okay

that's fine look my mother tongue is

also hindi even i don't talk in english

a lot uh other than topping those

sessions

right but

still

turned out to be a pretty good speaker

so it doesn't matter if you're not

speaking at that much

yeah

it's fine

okay um so yes let's move towards the

future let's talk about that

where do you mind that i ask you some

questions now

yes i will not mind

okay so look um

okay are you interested in robots and

stuff

have you ever been in wrestling robots

no i'm not but i once i have thought

that in the future there must be a robot

which will do all the work of

all the

men and women and the men and women will

be just be like a couch positive

oh my god

okay so yeah it would actually turn out

to be like that i think after 50 years

we'll just have robots working for us

and people would be just lying on their

couches all day long um okay

let's say that you could meet a robot

right now okay in this year okay you had

an opportunity to meet a doctor how do

you imagine it to be what what are your

imaginations about that program what

would be your expectations about that

problem

well um

if i would meet a robot i would not like

to you know

look at it or explore it because

it would be um you know my mother says

it's not it's dangerous for me to look

at these such electronic devices and all

yeah it is it really is

i will not harm it or touch it i will

simply go on my way

on your way okay but like okay uh let's

say that your father okay or your mother

took you to a robotic conference or

something like that

okay and there was a stall there there

was kind of this uh shock going on you

can say in which you know you could add

robotic parts to your human body

yeah like okay have you have you ever

watched marvel do you know who iron man

is

i have not watched the marvel but i know

who is iron man you know

right he's he's he's a he's a part of

marvel cities right so you know like

just like iron man the things that he

uses for

flying the things that he uses for

shooting people and all those kinds of

stuff

if you could add that into your human

body would you want to do it or not

well i would not like to because i'm

pretty

i would very hesitate to do that because

i've never tried it and uh

and my skin is very sensitive so i would

not like it to attach it

okay so basically you'd not like that

very much

answer would you like to attach any

robotic powers to your body

definitely definitely if i get an

opportunity i would love

uh you know robotic parts being inserted

in my human body

let's see

what kind of parts okay one would

definitely definitely be a memory chip

which would help me remember everything

i want to remember okay that's one thing

secondly

become a businessman or whatever

exactly who helped me a lot right uh

second thing that i'd want

i'd not want it to hurt anybody but i

just wanted for fun i'd want a gun

gun kind of a hand you know like

whenever i pressed a button like this so

my

hand could turn into a gun or something

like that

so i just want to try that hard to start

work

and i've seen a lot of movies that's bad

oh that's great

yeah

okay

so now havisha now we will talk about

your feedback because we are running

short on time okay and i have to tell

you some things about your speaking and

how can you improve them

yes

yes

okay

go on yeah i'll go on definitely look um

being an 11 year old your speaking

skills are really good okay i remember

when i was 11 years old i was not even

able to speak in hindi properly and

you're speaking in english much better

than that

okay so i'll not say that you have to

work on a lot of things right now

because you will be learning tons of

things in school right

okay you will be learning about new

vocabulary you will be learning about

the grammar part you will be learning

about the sentences a lot of things will

be there in your learning process at

school okay

but there are some things that you can

work on that can help you stand out from

all the other students there are in your

class

okay

look first thing when you're speaking

you are very confident i understand that

it's beautiful

but yes when you're speaking you forget

or you try to express that you've

forgotten the word

okay do you hear it what i'm saying look

what happens is it happens right that we

forget the word that we wanted to say

yeah yes

yes so when that happens we cannot let

the audience right now i was your

audience okay so we cannot let the

audience know that

we've forgotten the word of bigger we

are stuck right now

okay we have to hide that

as much as possible

okay so whenever you get stuck whenever

you're thinking about the word instead

of saying you know or instead of saying

what

okay words like this instead of using

them what you can do is take a cough

just like this

easy

hey it's very easy

you just took a cuff and people will

think that yeah she was having a cow so

that's why she

stopped

and then you can continue the sentence

okay

this is how you can deceive people that

is something that you should think about

a little

okay we need to make a

okay

you know what today i'll give you

something that no 11 year old would know

uh in your school or even in your

locality anywhere

always remember this look whenever we

are communicating

okay whenever we are speaking

communication is not at all about what

we are speaking

it's not

okay i'm teaching you this at a very

young age okay so try to understand it

very carefully

communication is never about what we

present it's never about what we speak

okay no it's always about what the other

person is going to see

what you are listening to that's the way

i'm communicating what i'm speaking

doesn't matter

okay how i'm speaking it doesn't matter

what you are seeing it and how are you

seeing it that definitely matters

okay so that is what we have to do when

we get stuck

cool easy

take a deep breath

easy

yes right so you can do these things

whenever you get stuck that's the first

second thing to improve your sentences a

little bit to include new words that

you're learning at school to learn the

grammar i'll not say do any writing i'll

not ask you to read anything i'll not

ask you to watch anything

what i'll ask you to do is every day

just for two minutes or three minutes

talk to your parents in english

okay just go to them and express about

how your day went okay that okay this is

what i did today and this is how my

school when this is what i ate today

anything that you want to do

two to three minutes that's all

okay trust me this will help you become

even more confident

than you are right now okay otherwise i

do not think there are a lot of problems

that you have to worry about

we'll whenever we meet next i hope we

meet again and whenever we do

then we'll talk about the grammatical

errors or whatever we find

yeah

okay

yes okay don't be nervous be confident

like you were so confident while

speaking by listening you got like a

little bit nervous don't do that it's

cool

okay

oh that's my sort of

thing occurs to me

i know my listening is listening is

a very difficult part i guess

it is

don't worry you learn it you're very

young you will learn you will learn a

lot of things right now

okay thanks thank you

thank you wherever you sure have a good

day

i know you told your friend you're not

okay

[Music]

it hurts too
