The one who does the teaching is the one who's doing the learning.Sharing knowledge, in my opinion, is a wonderful way of giving back what my gurus have imparted in me.The past couple of years at Graphic Era University have been such an enriching experience that I have decided to dedicate my entire life in this process of sharing and learning."
