1.no no okay yeah yeah I am good I am I am doing great since my holidays are going I am totally uh staying at home and spending some quality time with my family nice are you a student yeah I I am a student and I sometimes teach at a college I mean I am both right now I'm a teacher as well and I'm a student too okay okay okay that's lovely yeah so the holidays are going on are you enjoying your holidays yeah but sometimes you get bored you know because every day you get to go out meet people and do some stuff and in holidays you you you can't just go away I mean even if you go outside you don't get to do things so that's what the disadvantage of having a holiday I mean for me at least yeah I have too many holidays would be a problem for somebody who is workaholic or somebody who is no no I am not saying that I am workaholic in that case but I feel get bored uh if I'm speeding so much of my time at sitting idle at home okay yeah very good okay uh have you had time to go through the session notes Rahul uh to be honest I I did not get much time to do it yes we're talking about family today So Family and Child yeah my previous my previous session was about childhood memories and this is about family so more or less these two sessions are uh similar or they they share some it's okay we can change it a bit yeah what I have realized from the previous session in terms of the problem that I I face usually is I cannot go on uh speaking uh by myself for for more than five minutes I I might need somebody to talk to so that I can change some dialogues and go along yes of course definitely we cannot sleep alone we go mad yeah and um which is we have been habitated with this act of speaking or delivering a monologue and and having or getting no response at all but still assuming the audience speaking yes true so what what do you think needs Rahul fortunately or unfortunately I would say I am teaching English only but still I'm learning uh still I'm learning this language so that I can sharpen my craft so that I can deliver the dialogues they deliver my lectures properly and effectively to be in order to reach my audience in a better way I am still working on my language I would not say that I have stopped somewhere okay okay that's that's lovely I really like your enthusiasm very nice yeah yeah so um for the time being or just for the sake of the topic that we have decided I I would like to speak something about my family if I can yeah yeah yes of course I am I was going to ask you can you share some um you know something about your family and have you experienced a very funny moment with your family a moment where you know where you think about it and you can still laugh till today is there anything that has happened like that yeah it is it has happened many times I would say that uh when whenever I am with my family uh my father is a humorous guy he he is in the habit of cracking jokes all the time and he is very good at making people okay so what he does is uh whenever he he he let's say he has been to the village now recently and he just got home recently or just now he he has reached home then suddenly he he goes on making something or narrating a story with by footing or cracking some jokes they're so lovely and I mean the kind of timing that he has in terms of cracking jokes is of a great importance for me and that's what make me laugh even today even if I'm not with my family and I'm totally away from them so uh in terms of my parent I usually remember his face or his way of speaking or delivering or cracking a joke that's what makes me laugh even today okay okay nice yeah very nice okay can you share more about your family how many of you are there and whom are you the most closest to uh there are five members in my family and earlier I was a part of a family who was joined now but there are separated members now because of the education and globalization that we are facing they all are displaced in search of better jobs in education uh and this was the structure and again if I need to talk about who is so closest to me uh I would say it is foreign everybody will say that they are so close to their grandparents or grandmother so specifically our special space I grant other had a huge influence on me she she I was as a child I spent most of my time with her so she she used to narrate stories let's say in the fables like ESO fables yeah some stories and with uh moral ending or she used to teach something in the end she would say something that you you can't just lie to people and she would not read a story and then she will come up with a conclusion in which she would deliver that that uh moral of the story and that was a very influential for me as a child to grasp and to be introduced to very nice very nice I um grew up in a joint family as well so we were like 16 of us in one house and now after marriage I'm living in a nuclear setup I'm sure you know the meaning of nuclear so yeah I yeah initially when I came um to the nuclear setup it was very very weird I was like you know my God there's no one to talk to the house is so quiet I'm getting used to it now the great pleasure lies in being around people with chaos and there if there are so many people you will talk to you then then you you your different shades of your personality gets revealed definitely but um Rahul do you think there are any disadvantages of staying in a joint family have you encountered anything like that there are sometimes let's say you are having some disagreements with somebody because uh Suppose there is an issue and everybody on which everybody has to agree and then something happens and that one of them is not agreeing on something that has to be concluded and then there are some uh disagreements in terms of thoughts let's say uh if there can be a generational cap let's say I might think totally differently and my grandfather answer any let's say my uncle and Aunt they might have a different view to take on the topics that we might discuss yes yeah definitely so yeah I have encountered that as well how would you handle it Rahul say you wanted to do something and you know you come home and you break the news to your family and they are totally against it how would you handle it then obviously I I would just look at the situation whether they are ready to listen to it or whether they are uh in the position uh to take this for now or not I I would just look at I would observe their uh situation thoroughly I would go into it and I would see if I can crack I can if I can break the ice and tell them that this is the news that I am going to reveal and it perhaps this might uh shock you a little but you just need to be brave enough to understand or accept this even if it is undesirable yeah true uh how would you handle it say if you if your children came and told you something and you are not able to accept it but um if I'm having less expectations about my taking much considering my children's if I do have a very less expectations about them and even if uh they come up with something that is uh not so good to me so so so acceptable for me but still I would uh hope that um they they should the expectations lies there I mean if the less you expect the the less disappointment you you will have so you can use this uh example there because uh it happens usually with a human being that uh not everything happens uh as for your schedule or emotions or yes definitely definitely accordingly accordingly and nothing happens it life is so predictable and you can have very I mean many surprises as possible so definitely that's what life is all about but I like giving you your thinking yes lightly and seriously at the same time yes definitely simultaneously you need to maintain this balance between being so serious and being so reactive and being so funny because life is all about being everything I I believe yeah how about you I mean um I I forgot to ask you something because it was you can ask me now that's why I'm asking you in return yeah so did you face as you said that you were married now and then uh you you probably having any kid or something so does that happen to you or has it happened before that uh the the child has come up with something that uh upsets yeah luckily my children are quite Young so there aren't any major issues so far so far but you you might you you will have these issues uh very soon and I have faced it myself when um with my parents so yeah they didn't really take what yeah but like you said where the expectations are really low the disappointments are low as well because see what happens the in in the days that we are living there are many Horizons of expectation that we have definitely in terms of people around us and yeah when when when they don't meet with the expectations then we feel dissatisfied or then we feel disappointed or we are not pleased with the fact that somebody is not wanting to please you in return something that you do for them and they do not uh return it yes so you you feel bad for it definitely so we cannot we can avoid that by expecting less this is what I uh feel I don't know what I would do in future if I am face some such situations but still I would hope that I I would react this way so that here I would be able to tackle this situation funny way and coming to a decision yes yes definitely I hope we're all in a better position to handle awkward situations so Rahul tell me do you prefer a joint family or a nuclear family uh I would prefer both but you cannot have it yes this is the Practical thing uh it depends totally upon the situation or the kind of people that I I might be surrounded with let's say Suppose there are people who are very good and they are not toxic in their behavior and if they are in my family and I I need to survive in the company of them then I would surely go for the joint family and if uh it's like you you you better have no company at all yeah yeah so if there is a Bad Company then I I would prefer being lonely or a wolf or a black sheep of the family a black sheep of the family so that I can be totally away from them but still I should belong to the family [Music] during holidays I I go back and you know I stay with my extended family okay so how do you manage with this I mean having nobody to talk to how having nobody to uh no I do have people to talk to but like I said uh I was part of you know a 16 member family so coming from there yeah to this stage yeah so when I first got married and my husband went to work then I felt very lonely and in those days we didn't really have WhatsApp and the connectivity was a little low but now of course I I do keep myself busy so and it's nice so that you know I would still say I prefer a nuclear setup because it's more productive I am able to get most of my work done and during holidays when I go and spend time with my extended family it's more for leisure so I like a nuclear family setup only because I feel it's more productive for me yeah it is more productive because you you don't have people uh to spend your or waste your time spending time is a different thing and wasting time is doing different things yeah and when you are living in a nuclear family then uh you will be more productive and yeah that's what I I think works for me because these days we uh we we all are running up timer we are running out of time and if there are if there is much time to work on some things that are remaining or we are lagging behind then we can utilize that time that we would spend with the joint family into something and this can be a breakthrough for your career also yeah you can spend your quality time with your loved ones also you can focus on your children's who are growing or they are going to schools also so that in that case or in this way uh being in a family being in a nuclear family becomes important and most of the teenagers these days or most of the people yeah my age and the people who are getting married these days they they simply go for nuclear family earlier it was when it comes to family earlier it was the notion of families are full of people and all of your family it's a joint family there are many members but these days the situation or the definitions of family has been changing yes and people whenever we think of family we think of only two or three people yes and true that's what we have made yeah so it depends totally I mean and you simply cannot sometimes see you do not have a choice yeah sometimes when we move away for work then yeah we are forced to live in a nuclear setup yes yeah okay yes you're telling me continue yeah but since we are about to end with our session so no we're not about to end um I just wanted to give you feedback so um like I said is um I love your choice of words you view some excellent words like workaholic many a times humorous influential generational Gap so they were all amazing and used very relevantly now I wanted to work a little bit on your pronunciation are you using a desktop or a laptop can you see the chat box yeah I can see okay yeah and I want you to pronounce it the first one is position position no can you say so I want to hear position s position not j i shouldn't hear that I should hear supposition position you will get it yes yeah and right now I'm being conscious about my mistake that's why yeah that's right so don't worry I need to hear Paul like you say sit right please sit down yes please sit down yes Vision position okay so in what kind of chords do I need to pronounce them properly I mean let's say short sounds are there yeah so what kind of things or what kind of vowels or a set of consonants the third sound this one also can you say properly properly yes very good what about this surprises prizes surprises surprises grandparents grandparents okay grandparents specifically specifically so specifically I need to hear the uh sounds specifically specifically yeah yeah very good now it was right yeah yeah with practice it gets better good practice that's what I have realized so far in learning this language definitely definitely okay and I also heard you say to break the ice very nice idiom but uh you could have used a more relevant idiom you use break the ice when you are meeting somebody new when you are yeah yes when you were speaking for the first time yes so in this case we are talking about tackling a difficult situation in a joint family right so better would be to address the elephant in the room address the elephant in the room yeah yeah yeah yeah we don't want to talk about it yeah yeah so even if you can see the problem inside but avoiding the situation or avoiding the problem of one to health that's why we use this Stadium right yeah so instead of making noise I feel this is a more relevant idiom in this context okay okay see this is the only thing that I am working on these days you know you should I I just love the way you're taking the initiative to learn the language even though you're a teacher lovely lovely keep it up okay um one more thing I heard you say in the company of them I don't yeah so it can how do you think you can better structure this the structure is a little incorrect yeah yeah the order seems a little incorrect to me the way I spoke it it was I wouldn't say it was wrong but it was not appropriate yeah it was a little incorrect so you can say in their company in their company the different pronoun there that's right in their company and I also heard you say um children's what's wrong with it yeah we cannot say children's because it does not go with plurals children itself is plural China yeah child is a singular child is singular and children is plural that's why you might be knowing about that that novel by Salman yeah yes so just these few changes and Rahul you'll be great yeah thanks for suggesting them I I'll surely incorporate these changes into my next session that we will have and I will surely choose uh you as my tutor so that I can get along variable because uh family are indeed reads the contempt or something that's what I have heard so um it was fun speaking and learning something from you yes I had a lovely session too hopefully we can meet again for sure we will meet enjoy your evening thank you so much bye-bye bye thank you
