I am Nachieketa Khamari Sharma. Currently, I am working as member Faculty, Department of Physics, ITER, Bhubaneswar. Prior to this I was vice-Principal in Institute of higher Secondary Education, +2 Science College, ITER, Bhubaneswar. Before that, I was in Sunabeda (Koraput, Orissa) teaching Physics in HAL managed Aeronautics College from 1988 to 2008. Occasionally I pen short story, anecdote, short poem, small science articles. Some have found their ways into Sambad, Bigyan Tarang, Samaj, Rudra Awahan, Indian Express and other souvenirs. Manoj Das is my favourite writer and Richard P Feynman, the favourite teacher. And as far as the skill of presenting scientific facts into common writing is concerned George Gamow and JBS Haldane are my obvious choice. Oriya Bhagabata by Atibadi Jagannath Das and Sri Aurobindo's Savitri are the books which I held in high esteem.
