Born in 1963 in Delhi, I was brought up at Gorakhpur. I mainly stayed with my mother Swarnalata Pal. She died at the age of 51, on January 8, 1982 at Gorakhpur. She taught at the department of education of the Gorakhpur university. My father Ajit Kumar Pal started teaching at the department of psychology of Delhi university in 1962. He died on July 29, 2007. In 1981, I came to stay with my father to get into college education. After a short stint I left formal education for good. I have extremely fond memories of my separate stays with my mother and thereafter with my father. They were the building blocks of a new India. Since 1982, I continued to study on my own and dabble into industrial design and electronics. I tried to develop products for commercialization, but, sadly, those efforts did not succeed. However, I received small projects which I could complete successfully. Gradually, I evolved as a free-lance industrial electronics designer. In 2002, I had to discontinue my design and development work, as the government barred any home-based technical activities. In 2004, I received my first US patent grant. Gradually, I received more patents, which are now four. Meanwhile, my home laboratory staff left; the last one left in 2005. In the absence of any technical help, I was handicapped to develop my inventions into finished prototypes. In 2000, I married my long-standing friend Ritu Chowdhary. I have a daughter Eidya who is five years old. Since 1978, I began writing and continued till 2006. In 1996, I published a collection of my English poetry. I also wrote for some local English dailies in Delhi. In 1996, I started taking interest in saving our neighbourhood trees -- something which my dear father always held very close to his heart. The struggle to save the trees alienated me and our family to the neighbourhood residents who mostly find trees obstructing their parking space and dirtying their house fronts by dropping leaves. I also took keen interest in Indian history during 1990 - 2005. I do plan to write about my findings on the subject. In 1989, a friend told me about I Ching, the Chinese book of changes. Ever since, I took a lot of interest in the subject.

       In 1979, I started reading about morphogenesis and  relativity. Both the topics were very interesting. In a few years, I had my personal  views on these two subjects.  I always kept resolving to do more work in these two areas. After my dear  Baba's death recently, I devote a lot of time figuring out the relations between time and space.
