Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching:
I'm fluent with English and Indian languages such as Hindi, Telugu and Tamil. So I would also be glad to teach those languages for anyone who is interested in learning them. I can also teach coding in some programming languages. I can also teach how to play cricket (especially for people who are not familiar with the game). Apart from this I can also teach some basics about scientific research, publishing. I can talk about a variety of useful topics such as Differences between Industry and Academia. I can also teach and talk about weight training and give some insights into muscle building, nutrition as well as eating the right kind of food.

Learning:
I'm more interested in learning romantic languages especially french and spanish. I'm interested in learning German and Polish too. I'm also interested in honing my basics in salsa dancing as well as very enthusiastic about learning Tennis and Swimming.

Sharing:
I can share insights and gossip about various topics spanning from celebrity life, sports, movies (also bollywood), politics (especially Indian) culture and tradition (Indian), food (Indian), Nature, Wildlife and Conservation and Evolution.
