The author of this book Shri R. P. Lao was born on 25th December 1932 in a small town known as "Pind Dadan Khan", a Tehsil Headquarter of Distt., Jhelum, now in Pakistan. This place is believed to be blessed by a most venerated Sufi Saint, Dadan Khan.

His father, late Shri K. N. Lao was an IRS officer in the Central Government and was a kind hearted and spiritual person with literary leanings, whose spiritual verses were out in a booklet known as "Nihal Sagar".

The author completed his higher education and obtained degree in law from University of Delhi in mid-fifties. While in the University Law College, he was adjudged as the best debater in the inter-college debating contests and was. recipient of many prizes.

He is an eminent practicing lawyer in Delhi High Court with a standing of more than fifty two years at the Bar with varied experience.

Being a philanthropic in mind and actions, he is associated with many philanthropic works for the welfare of less privileged.

In his youth established single-handedly, a Hindi-weekly "Sapthaik Andolan", of which he was the founder, editor and also one of the contributors. Composed hymns, invoking the grace of Lord Ganesha, titled "Sri Ganesha Mahima" a prayer which became popular amongst the masses throughout the Hindi speaking areas and also amongst the Hindus of U.K. and U.S.A. He has also contributed and wrote for magazines and journals on various topics.

When I decided to pen down some thoughts on various aspects of our daily living in the form of an inspiring booklet and share the same with my readers, I was neither persuaded nor encouraged by anyone to tread on these thorny issues, which may invite appreciation or criticism from its readers but from within me arose a natural instinct which motivated me for making an attempt to bring out the essence of life for a better, beneficial and a gracious living. The basics of primary education in the last early mid- century were confined to Lord MaCaulay's alphabets and taught in the dingy classrooms with temporary corrugated sheets or in the open courtyards of schools under a banyan tree by and large. The means for better education were scarce and were available only in few big cities, but importantly, there was stress on maintaining and respecting human values and inculcating ideals which inspired a feeling of service to the mankind with a touch of simplicity and modesty. The period of learning and worldly understanding was lost in the din of fiasco created by the partition of the country and I, like many others of my age, had rolling academic education for sometime, mainly due to reasons of frequent transfers and movements of my respected dear father, being in the Central Government service, and also because of migrants from West Punjab due to partition of the country, when most of the Government schools in Punjab were closed to provide transitory arrangements for the stay of huge influx of refugees was left by the circumstances and the compelling reasons to seek from the worldly experience, then the prescribed books in the schools and colleges, which of course, I, later had to make up at Delhi University in early fifties, but the education received was practical.
