Destiny, perhaps, governed the life of the author, Dr P. C. Sharma, on the principle of "Rolling stones gather no moss, but shine." This could be the reason that a boy from a remote village unable to go for formal education up to ten years of age finally made a career in the field of academia, earning a master's in geography from Gorakhpur University, master's in education from Shimla, and PhD from Meerut University. Having lost his father only as an infant, he charted his own course in life. His career as a teacher and an administrator spans over three decades, in various parts of India. Having started as a teacher in various reputed schools, he has also rendered service in the Rashtriya Indian Military College (RIMC), Dehradun and Rashtriya Military School (RMS), Chail (Himachal Pradesh). After serving as principal of two Kendriya Vidyalayas at Sambalpur and Pachmarhi for nearly twelve years, he retired from the post of education officer at KVS Headquarters, New Delhi. In postretirement phase, he had been admin. officer at Bharat Scouts & Guides National Headquarters and country coordinator of HAPI (Healthy Adolescent Project in India)-a sex education project of the Family Health International (USA), implemented by World Association of Girl Guides & Girl Scouts (London), through B S&G NHQ (New Delhi), in ten districts, mainly suburbs and tribes of West Bengal, including Darjeeling. With this rich experience and passion for geography, literature, philosophy, metaphysics, natural and supernaturals, the author took to writing with the intentions to share interesting experiences gathered from the people, with the people of global society. He is settled in Greater NOIDA with his family.
