| Introduction | A career in science, Physics, is where it began. From Chennai to Mumbai to Madison, WI - the move northward brought cooler weather, newer challenges and a Ph.D. in Physics. A husband and a kid to boot. Changing priorities meant changing careers - back to an old favorite. WRITING! I love teaching, explaining stuff and so, it seems natural to be a science writer. Songs for kids and musical plays woven around them is another passion. Writing children's stories is something I am starting to dabble in. What better way to see how much I have understood than to see how much I can convey - hence, teaching. I have taught for several years - Physics and then writing Physics (Science) |
