Welcome Yury. I would love to read your stories and people here on italki will be glad to help you out with your writing. Unfortunately, I don't know Russian but I can help you correcting your entry. Your English is actually quite good and only needs a few adjustments. Good job!
First day with italki.com
Well, here is my first post on italki.com. I think, first of all I have to introduce myself.
My name Yury and I live in Saint-Petersburg (Russia). I was born before the first satellite was launched, so I'm now 59. I am an Engineer, and worked for seven years for a Russian Company in India. I'm married and have three adult sons.
My hobbies are photo, books, traveling and internet chats. I like music and sometimes I sing songs (The Beatles forever!).
In addition, I write short stories and post them on websites and live blogs. I want to translate my stories from Russian to (into) English for my Indian friends, but my English is very poor. (not as good as I like it to be)
I signed on to italki.com because I want to find friends for language exchange. I can help my partners with Russian (any topic - weather, culture, Russian business, etc).
I'd like to receive any comments about my English.

My comment about your English is that it is very good.
