you're an extrovert. Oh, you like

speaking. But I cannot explain to them,

Kim. No, I'm not an extrovert, I'm an

C 03:05 So, which I'm not comfortable in, but I

have to speak since I have joined this

C 03:14 Also what I feel is, um, it's like people

can share a lot of things at one go. Like

what? Feeling, how they're feeling, their

strengths and their weaknesses. I am

someone who doesn't like to share their

weak side because it makes me feel a,

like a whole lot of vulnerable.

but it's like back when I was in my

hometown, I felt like a completely

different person. Mm-Hmm. Like, I felt

happy. I felt nice. It was like I had

everything under my control in that place.

Like my academics, my social life, like

whatever I had in my control. But after

coming here, it's like I feel everything is

very opposite. I don't have control over

anything which I am not liking. And also

adding up to that point key, I don't want

to show my weak sight for anyone

T 05:07 Okay. I hear that you are feeling that you Paraphrasing Probing the client to speak more

have lost the control of your life. And

going their way, but I feel like it's like I

generally tend to have a proper schedule

of the day.

like to prepare the things which are being

taught in the class beforehand. So I'm

updated.

in my room I used to get a lot of privacy,

like I was adjusted to living alone. Hmm.

Like my parents both are working. So

language around me.

T 11:32 Mm.

all the time? Which even I cannot

explain, like, I'm having that change right

now. So it's like my mood has like, it's

just knew those after coming here. It's

like, oh my God, another thing has added

need to complete.

T 13:47 Uh, so you want to tell me that your Paraphrasing Probing the client to speak more

thought processes has been, uh, a bit

different after coming here. Earlier you

C 24:12 <affirmative>, like, I will say this all

started during my first semester.

T 24:17 Mmmm<affirmative>.

C 24:18 So like, if I have to give you a bit of my

background story, um, so it's like I came

into this university, I joined pretty late.

So it was like, by the time I joined,

internals started, like internals were going

on.

T: 24:36 Okay.

C 24:36 And it was like, it was a group work.

T 24:40 Hmm.

C 24:41 So it was like, I have to coordinate with

new people who have, I have never spoke

to before. The language is completely

new. Also, like I'm from arts background

and there were a lot of things like

genetics or genes, which I had to do for

this project.
T 25:00 Okay. So I felt like

C 25:02 During that time, my time was short. I

didn't know what happened during my

classes. I didn't know how to do my

assignments since I had not attended any

of the classes previously. So I started

feeling like I, maybe I am not a part of

this thing. Like maybe I'm not fit for this

course.

T 25:24 Okay.

C 25:25 This is something which happened and

T 25:29 Yeah.

C 25:32 Like from this point, this started and

currently it caught a bit better since I

would say he, I accepted, I have to

complete my degree from here. Hmm.

Like, this is somewhere I choose to be in.

T 25:45 Hmm.

C 25:47 So it's like, yeah, I have to complete or I

have to get my degree from here. And

very honestly, this is a very wonderful

college, but it's like very much pressure.

Like they're putting us through a lot of


academic pressure.

T 26:03 Okay. Uh, so, uh, you were describing Paraphrasing Probe the client to speak more

that when you came to the college, it was ending with a and may be finding a protective

pretty late. You joined Lake and, uh, it question factor or factors

was middle of assignments and was

group work. Okay. So, uh, how did you

manage that? At that time?

C 26:26 It was like very opposite since most of

my friends who are from UG while

completing another section, and I was

alone in another section, so it was,

adjusting to them was very difficult. And

also the teammates, which I, I was

assigned to during my first, first semester

project, they had tried to contact me

during my, uh, UG exams. But like, it's

like I responded, but I was not able to

function, like not function, like respond

fully to them because I had my exams

going on, so I could also feel like they

were frustrated.

T 27:08 Okay.

C 27:09 So it was like, when I came to this place,


I already had this much of pressure on

me.

T 27:16 Hmm. And

C: 27:17 Then they told me he, okay. Supposedly

project was, uh, we had to combine

genetics, herediity and genetics and

herediity. Mm-Hmm. So one person had

taken up genetics, another person had

taken up heredity, and my role was to

combine both genetics and heredity

together.

T 27:38 Okay.

C 27:38 Okay. And I was from an arts

background, so I didn't have any idea

what was going on. So like, this is from,

well, it started later, like my first

semester was pretty rough since I didn't

know again what my assignments, like

what my, my professors demanded.

T 28:03 Hmm.

C 28:03 Like what kind of assignments my

professors wanted. So it was like, yeah, I

managed through somehow.


T 28:14 So

T 28:15 You also mentioned that now it's a little

bit better?

C 28:19 Yeah. Uh,

T 28:20 So, uh, from where it is coming, like Questioning

C 28:26 It's, it's going like, um, okay. So during Protective factor was identified

my first semester when I was having

difficulties to adjust again, I mentioned

like, I became isolated, I became

frustrated, but again, it was my friends

who helped me through it.

T: 01:33 Okay. So, uh, in today's session, uh, Open ended As no conversation started

what do you want to talk about? questioning the open ended question

was asked

C 01:47 Uh, okay. So another thing I want to

talk about, like, I understand ki living

C: 01:52 Hostel is a part and parcel of

everyone's life.

T 01:56 Mm-Hmm. Nonverbal

encourager

C 01:57 Everyone who is new to this hostel

life needs time to adjust.

T 02:01 Okay. Verbal

encourager

C 02:03 And, uh, they'll always be having to

share their rooms because

C 02:07 That's also part of growing up. Mm-

Hmm.

C 02:11 I can understand that now. Uh, but

what I feel is like, previously, like,

uh, during the UG when I was in

home, like I used to live alone again.

Yeah. So,

C 02:25 Uh, I used to watch a lot of dramas,

like lot of series and all.


T 02:32 Mm.

C 02:33 Uh, like I used to like allegedly sleep

maybe, uh, sleep and put my phone

like this and watch dramas. But in

hostel, when I'm in hostel, I have to

act elegantly. Like, it's not like I can

sleep, just put my phone up, cross my

legs, and, uh, watch the series. I have

to be like, properly keeping my

phone in front of me sitting on a chair

or a, or on bed.

T 02:59 Hmm.

C 03:00 This is what I have been facing.

T: 03:04 So you want to say that, uh, in host Paraphrasing To probe the client to give

you have to, uh, be a bit manner and more information

you can't be yourself all the times

because you room is being shared and

people are coming and going. and

you are being observed constantly.

C 03:25 Uh, I, I definitely, like, previously I

didn't have to share my room as such.

And now that since I'm sharing, I

have to be respectful towards the

other spaces as well.


T: 03:36 Yeah.

C 03:37 Also, like my hostel has pretty strict

rules. I think I mentioned in the last

session or not. Uh, I couldn't, could

not remember properly. Uh, like I

cannot go to college living my bed

untidy. Okay. Like, it'll result in a

fine.

T 03:56 Okay.

C 03:57 Also, it's like I cannot like leave my

study table or study area in a opposite

manner. Like it always has to be in

tipped up shape.

T: 04:06 Okay.

C 04:07 So that is what is expected out of me

and this hostel right now. Okay. Also,

there is that constant pressure of

people who are coming and going

because this is a kinda shared living

space.

T 04:18 Mm-Hmm.

C 04:20 And my bed, it is situated just beside

the door.

T 04:24 Mm-Hmm.
C 04:25 So everyone who pushes the door,

I'm the first person who is visible.

Okay. So it's always like I have that

pressure key. Uh, the first impression

of the room always depends on me.

T 04:36 Yeah. So,

C 04:37 Yeah.

T 04:39 So I, I feel that you feel pressured

about the appearance of your room,

the appearance of your bed, the

appearance of your study table. Mm-

Hmm. <affirmative>. And that you

are expected to keep it very tidy or

it'll be resulted. Uh, and, uh, too fine.

C 04:59 Yeah. I mean, uh, like, uh, in this

hostel what we have is, uh, the

dough. It is a small glass window

kind of thing.

T 05:07 Hmm.

C 05:07 So if like the mate or any authority

who is standing outside the room can

clearly see like how the situation

inside the room is. Okay. Like, is it

tidy or not? Are people getting


together or not?

T 05:22 Mm.

C 05:22 So the first bed is always mine, which

is visible. And then again, uh, the

hostel has pretty strict rules.

T: 05:30 Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>.

C 05:31 So if you're not like, just ignore all of

it. So this is not exactly problem. I

feel I have to learn all of this. Okay.

But I also want that movie time to

myself where I can relax and enjoy.

T 05:52 So I can hear that. Uh, you also want

to, to learn from these experiences

that how to keep your, uh, own space

clean and tidy and all, but also facing

issues that you are not getting

enough, uh, freedom to keep it as it is

or maybe, uh, sleep as you want and,

uh, be as you want in general. Yeah.

Okay.

C 06:22 Because back at home I was quite a

messy person. Like my mother used

to describe me as I can be as neat as I

want, but as untidy as I want. Like


I'm the one who unties my room and

also I'm the one who cleans my room.

T 06:39 Okay. So yeah. So you can be both.

C 06:44 Yeah, I can be both.

diverse language forms.

T 07:39 Hmm.

understand each other's interests.

Mm-Hmm. <affirmative>. But what I
