In the process of collecting an oral history interview, what became highly important, in my view, was that of sensitivity and reciprocity. While I did have a protocol for making the process smooth, I was still kept on my toes by the climate and some timing issues, so a flexible arrangement was put in place about the comfort and convenience level of the narrator—very much, in this case, that of the interviewee since they are the same person! This made it a little easier in terms of timing because I wished for the time to be convenient for them and also made it a point to respect their commitments. It was all a reminder of the themes of our course: the activity of oral history lies not in the asking of questions for information but in establishing a proper relationship with the interviewee. I wanted to honor their experiences and perspectives in offering this comfortable setting, which was set up not only to let them share with me their stories but to have a conversation about certain topics. One thing in particular that struck me from my interviewee was when she had a message of carrying your curiosity from a kid into adulthood and you will go far! It was a fair exchange in the sense that the value of their input was realized, and their voices will be recognized appropriately as part of the greater picture. That reminded me of how personal a story is and how careful one needs to be while collecting it. This was the proper lesson on how oral history should be; empathetic and mutual in respect.
