Achintya Krishna shares his new hobby and talent on a beautiful Sunday ☀️ #NBATogether — “I learned to play the ukulele a month ago. I had learned to play the guitar 4 years back, and the ukulele looked easy to learn. It helps me stay occupied, when I get bored. The sound of it is very energizing and soothing. I would recommend others to learn it because it's very easy to learn. It's a small instrument and you can carry it anywhere you go. You can use this to play any song you’d like!” - Achintya Krishna, #NBAAcademy 🇮🇳
