The author, who lives in Mumbai (Bombay), is an Indian in his 91st year. He is a Master in Economics and has attended the high management course at Henley-on Thames, UK. The French Government in 1988 conferred on him the title of Chevalier de LOrdre National du Merite.
He brings to bear in his writing unrivalled experience of life having been an interested spectator since age 20 of the great upheavals caused by the Second World War and the convulsions which followed with the horrific Russian and Chinese revolutions, the drop of the atom bomb and the Independence granted to India which was followed by independence of several countries in Africa, south-east Asia and other parts of the world. All this changed the face of the planet and the way people lived and their beliefs.
His thoughts and perceptions are not rigid. He is deeply religious but tolerant of those who are not. He has looked at the world as if people are walking on the bridge of mortality without camping engaged in petty quarrels, greed, excesses, selfishness and generally in an unfulfilled and unhappy life. Without claiming to be a student of human frailties he has evolved by personal experience what should be the way to longevity, and not an early hospital bed, by following certain disciplines which are not draconian but simple to follow.
He emphasises that reaching 60/65 is not the end of life but the beginning of the new 80s. There is a universal urge amongst mankind to live as long as possible and it is here that he is trying to make a practical contribution without frills in his bookver menos
