Please share nice pictures, information, fun facts about Terence. He is excellent in Hindi (or he makes up words and just looks super confident). Since I am not, please feel free to highlight some nice words or expressions he uses (per episode perhaps). I might learn something from Terence Vocabulary (most of the time I just stare at my screen, super confused, searching for translations).
