I am interested in a wide variety of topics—from technical to fiction, philosophy to photography, cooking to cartoons, teaching to learning, writing to publishing, medicine, automobiles, and the list goes on… Some of the skills that I wanted to learn but failed to master are playing a musical instrument (violin and piano), drawing, sketching, and painting, new languages (Spanish, French, Latin and Japanese) etc. Some of the skills I did not want to learn but had to master are coding, typesetting, indexing, copyediting, etc.
