My Journey As A Science Writer

More than a decade ago, I embarked on a career of science writing.

During my tenure of science writing, I have written articles on astrophysics that provided  insights into our shadowy past and how stars and planets popped into existence after a fiery beginning of the Universe known as Big Bang. 

Besides, I penned stories on palaeontology, archaeology, and anthropology, which unveiled how life originated and evolved on earth that revolves around a negligible star called sun and how humans evovled and conquered the globe. 

While writing on nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, and electronics, I  let readers know how with sheer intelligence humans went on to spawn the astonishing fields of technologies that tinker with matters at the molecular and atomic levels. 

Technological progress has led to mindless development. It has left its indelible stamp on environment. I highlighted this aspect while I covered issues on environment.

Along with tremendous progress in technology, humans' relentless battle with lethal diseases continues. I have uncovered this aspect while I covered diseases like Alzheimer's disease, tuberculosis, malaria, cancer, speech disorder and various other diseases including mental illnesses. 

All my articles appeared in the weekly science and technology section of Indian online edition of Nature and leading Indian newspapers like 'The Telegraph' and 'The Statesman' and Magazine like 'Down To Earth' and leading website like SciDev.Net. I also wrote scripts for documentary films of CSIR, India. Also wrote science scripts for All India Radio, Kolkata. My articles also appeared in 'Lit.org', a website has been online for six years.
