As I turn 68 on June 7, 2026, when many of my friends, relatives, and even younger siblings are enjoying retirement, I find myself working harder than ever — not because I have to, but because I like what I am doing.
LifeLoveMe (LLM) is born from this new phase of my life.
I grew up in a modest environment in a small town in India. My grandfather was a small farmer. My father was a high school teacher. My mother, educated up to the 8th grade, was a homemaker. Ours was a close-knit family, and somehow my parents understood the importance of educating their children.
That is why my father moved from our village to the city. My village had only one school up to grade 5, and the educational environment was very limited. By grace, education opened many doors for me. I became an engineer, earned a PhD, worked with evolving technologies for nearly fifty years, became an educationist, consultant, real estate investor, writer, and above all, a lifelong student of life.
But my real learning came from people.
I have met people at every level — from those struggling at the margins of life to CEOs and leaders of companies. I have travelled to many countries, spoken to people whose language I did not understand, and watched how people live, suffer, succeed, fail, and still keep moving.
All these experiences have taught me one thing: life becomes meaningful when knowledge turns into service.
LifeLoveMe is my attempt to use technology, experience, community wisdom, and human connection to help people find reliable information, useful contacts, practical guidance, and actionable next steps.
This is not just an app for me. It is my offering in this phase of life. This is my Vanaprastha (वानप्रस्थ) — a stage of working not for personal needs or personal gain, but with an effort to detach my karma (कर्म) from its results. If I succeed, so be it. If I fail, that too is His decision, and I will accept it happily.
I invite your participation, cooperation, encouragement, and guidance. Together, we can make LifeLoveMe useful — for friends, community, country, and perhaps, in a small way, the world.
