really needed this because i have been
like super stressed and super disturbed
you know
reading about things that is going
around in this world so
uh
i don't know how you guys are handling
it
uh but yes it's pretty pretty stressful
so so hence one of the reasons that i
really really wanted to come online
today
um
so tell me guys how are you all spending
your time during this lockdown but i
hope that you guys are safe and taking
good care of yourself
and not stepping out of your homes
yeah
i hope right so just give me a high five
or just tell me that yes you guys are
watching me sitting at home
please do not venture out it is
extremely important for us to be home
right now
okay well i do see that people are
sitting at home and i'm so glad
we got to fight this battle of
coronavirus so yes it's important that
we all stay home right stay safe and
stay home
lovely okay great so let's start with
our session uh this evening um it is a
beautiful evening and uh i would say
pollution free evening right
uh and i am very very happy to be with
you guys today
so firstly i would um like to know that
what you guys have been doing
at home these days i mean how are you
guys utilizing your time
and how are you all spending your time
with your loved ones
so just let me know just type in in the
comments
yay everybody's sitting at home i'm so
glad
okay guys please let me know that how
you guys are spending your time what
have you guys been doing are you all
reading a lot
or are you all studying especially the
students
and or are you guys watching movies
netflixing
because i do have some tips for you
that you guys can definitely use them
and utilize your time in a better manner
okay great
well yes
i do see that people are rushing up on
their language skills and i think that
is important because once this lockdown
is over
uh you guys can definitely show off
these skills in your daily conversations
with people right
well swamiji biswas mentioned that he is
reading uh
a book and i just missed on the book
because there are so many comments out
here
oh wow someone is watching tedx that is
so cool something that i should do it
too right
business development planning okay
that's interesting
you're playing with your family members
i am doing that too in fact i have been
playing some vocabulary games with my
family members
uh so i am in fact gonna play with you
guys here online as well
chores household chores yes tell me
about it
i have been cleaning my house cooking
for the family members
which i
was not doing all this while so i think
i like it
i've been trying out on
new things
so so it's nice but yes it gets a little
tiring as well
wow it's amazing to see so many people
uh watching me live right now thank you
guys thank you so much for joining in
today
great
okay guys so i do have some tips for you
uh that you guys can definitely um go
ahead and use them during this time
if you guys are sitting at home i think
you all should start up reading yes
reading is going to be very very helpful
it will definitely help you brush up
your skills
it will help you with
different new words that you can use in
your daily conversation
uh also netflixing
binge on these netflix series
and it's gonna help you to learn some
different pronunciations as well in fact
i have listed couple of shows for you
all that you all can start watching
binge on these shows
because to be very honest every night i
keep reading the news i keep watching uh
videos
from italy and spain and france and
united states
and
it is just
disheartening like i can't tell you that
how
disturbed i am
so
so hence i have decided that i am going
to binge watch on netflix series
i have a couple of shows for you listed
over here
um i do have house of cards
if you haven't watched that show uh i
think you'll need to start watching that
show because it is amazing
in fact it's going to help you with
english learning as well
because the language is a little complex
but it is about this
ambitious politician who uses corruption
in order to become the president of
united states so it's a pretty
interesting uh series so if you guys
have not watched it y'all should
another favorite series of mine is the u
quite disturbing this guy is um
i mean he loves to stop women but uh but
it's a fun series like i literally binge
watched and i finished it i think in 24
hours yes i did i'm not lying like
literally within 24 hours i was done
with that show
um
then there are so many other shows in
fact right now i am watching money heist
and i'm really enjoying that show so
tell me guys if you guys have been
netflixing also uh do let me know which
are the shows that you guys have been
watching
and uh and learning as well out of it
you know because when you watch you
listen to different words you understand
the pronunciations
and you can use it in your conversation
so please do let me know that which are
the shows that you have been watching
and i am following the comments
okay someone is asking me where am i
from well i am from india
and uh in mumbai
and
let's see here do you watch bollywood
movies
yes
raju i do watch bollywood movies as well
and let me see here
wow there are so many comments yeah you
say that i love money heist as well
so that's amazing
you are from kerala oh masterchef yes
masterchef is also another great show
i think it's pretty distressing because
you know when you look at people cooking
something for you and you know the
different colors
i think it's pretty distressing right
okay
you use cambly but it's very costly but
camli is a very helpful app
i remember talking about camli in one of
my lessons and it is a good app
all right
so many corona cases in mumbai
um yes it is sad and that's exactly the
reason it is important for us to be at
home right stay safe stay home so that
we all are safe safe from coronavirus
okay wow
say something in hindi uh i do speak
hindi but uh i am not very confident
when it comes to making videos and
teaching people uh from hindi to english
so i can't do that and that's exactly
the reason why i don't do hindi videos
but i do speak hindi
um
okay guys
let me see what else i
can help you with
oh so another thing i wanted to check
with you guys where are you guys
watching me from which city which
country are you guys watching me from uh
