The author was born in Hyderabad, India, into a lower-middle-class family. He got his high school education from a Catholic Missionary school, the best in town, and went on to get a bachelor's and master's degree in entomology. He then got into the University of California at Riverside and earned a PhD in entomology under the supervision and guidance of Prof. Paul H. DeBauch, a world authority in biological control. Growing up in India with proper social/ethical values instilled by his elders and his school gave him the background to lead a decent life in different parts of the world. His professional carrier started after his master's and includes research and teaching in entomology in India, Kenya, Zimbabwe, England (Oxford University), Jordan (with the USAID), and USA (California) where he primarily worked for the state of California as a research scientist. His work in Kenya was with an international research organization (UN funded). He has eighteen scientific publications to his credit, published in internationally known/recognized scientific journals. In his social life, he has been deeply involved in community work and drafted to lead several institutions/organizations throughout his adult life. He is also the founder of an Islamic school (nationally recognized) and a Muslim cemetery in Sacramento, California. Retired in 2009, he devotes most of his time to community work. This current venture is an effort to convey to the reader the "down-to-earth" meaning and the real values of life, the understanding of some of the natural sciences from a layman's perspective, and above all, leading a content life.
