Other skills
I am interested in linguistics and can speak about eight languages,
including French, German and several Indian languages. I enjoy
working on puzzles, especially those that involve an intuitive feel
for mathematics. One of the things I enjoyed doing the most in the
early eighties was to solve the Rubik's cube faster than anyone else
around me, on an average of about thirty seconds!
