So… I have gone for brutal honesty rather than mindless praise in the hope that I might be able to help you grow. I have read the first two chapters, and have added some feedback on the first few paragraphs. These will probably already give you a bit of an idea what I mean when I say that your grammar needs some work. The most glaring mistake is the constant switch between past and present tense. Overall, I believe there’s a fun story here. It just needs some polishing. I wish you a lot of fun writing it.

“the science council”. Don’t forget the article.

I was also tall, meaning I was 6 ft 4 inches in height which could be considered very tall for some people. Seeing as I was done, I readied my observations that I would send to science council of India.

Right so… I get what your aim is: you want your reader to get an idea of what the character looks like… but… to be brutally honest… this comes across as awkward and desperate. This is just one person’s opinion, but maybe try something a little more subtle.

I caught a glimpse of my attractive handsome face in the mirror, for fun sakes I also flexed my body which was muscular but not like a bodybuilder. It was enough to ensure that I could be considered handsome.

Just for believability: no scientist is going to work without tying their hair back. You really don’t want hair in your face/experiments when you’re handling dangerous chemicals.

I slid back my black hair since some of the black strands were blocking the viewpoint of my dark brown eyes. I quickly checked if any poisonous gas was still in the surrounding and when I saw there was none, I quickly took off my mask.

You keep using past tense in one paragraph, and present tense in another. Try to choose.

If I sprinkle these chemicals on dead trees which have no chance to grow or will take many years to grow, then within 1 week it would grow again. This meant human beings would have a longer time to spend on this earth.

You started your sentence with ‘now’ twice in a row. Not necessarily wrong, but it doesn’t really sound good.

Now this plant could grow into a big tree within 1 week. Now seeing that this experiment of mine was a success, I immediately thought of the possibilities of what it could do.

‘Various experiments’. Should be plural.

I slowly went to a ruined dead plant which I brought for free. First, I had checked it through various equipment to see if it was really dead. Now after verifying these things, I kept it here for an experiment.

I assume you mean ‘bought for free’ and not ‘brought for free’.

Also ‘a gas mask’. Don’t forget the article.

This simple thing is known as gas mask. Soon the chemical turned red, and I quickly turned off the heat since I knew it was ready. Hope this experiment of mine gets successful.

Replace ’gets’ with ‘was’. But, since you’re choosing both past tense and first person narrative, it comes across as rather strange. Since it’s past tense, the protagonist already knows whether or not it was successful: try to rephrase in a way that acknowledges the fact that the protagonist knows what’s going to happen (it’s past tense, he’s telling us what happened), but still adds some expectations for your readers.
