A carnatic violinist learning western

I've been a carnatic violinist all along and suddenly felt i should explore other forms of music. So here i went and started western violin classes. I've been a part of my college music band and have always struggled in standing and playing any piece even western cause i was just not used to playing that way and never got the hang of how people did. Used to sit and play corrs instrumental pieces :) Anyways so first day of class I go and the sir says can you play something for me and i say can you please give me a seat ;) So classes started with learning how to read western notations first with spacing of notes and learning the "Every Good Boy Does Fine" and FACE. The initial lessons were in D major. Luckily the strings are tuned as lowest string is G, a Sa then D , its Pa then A who is D's Pa and E which is A's Pa so i could kind of visualize D as Sa, A as Pa in D major and play the notes with some mapping to swaram. Then came A major lessons cause the sir felt i had the basics and can start with the advanced lessons. It was fun starting with it cause simply i cound think of A as Sa and E as Pa and keep playing :) Then came the difficult part third string started coming in the lessons. But it was not a Pa like in carnatic but was a Ma or rather i need to keep switchin thinking which is my Sa and Pa. Phew!! On top of all this mental struggle the sir would suddenly say hey ur playing C instead of B and then i'll BLINK and the mental process will start calculating which Sa D or A and then where B and C was, what swaram basically. And all this while the sir is still staring down at me. To complicate my life more and increase my mental load, last week the third Sa came into the picture G major! And pieces with all four strings! Now am totally baffled and play really really slow so that my brain does not burst of switching Sa contexts. Last week was the funniest part. He suddenly started talking bout timing. He was like how many notes do you have in a semi quaver. So i knew the timing stuff but the names weren't something i could match when my brain was already loaded with Sa's. So as usual BLINKED and answered his question wrong and then a OH OK... when he finally answered it himself. So now here i am still struggling to get out of carnatic thinking and think of everything as western notes and play.... :'(
