My name is Baboo Monibhooshanan Nair and I like to be called Dr. Baboo softly and sweetly. I was born in India in a place called Thiruvattar, which is located in the Kanyakumari district of Tamil Nadu State. But I was brought up in Trivandrum which is the capital city of the Kerala State. I had my education at the Fort High School, Mar Ivanios College and College of Agriculture before I obtained my B. Sc. in Agriculture in 1959 from Kerala University and left Trivandrum for working as an agricultural supervisor in an agricultural research station in Viramgam located in the northern part of Gujerat State.

 From Viramgam, I moved to Anand to study dairy technology at The Dairy Science College before I worked at Amul Dairy as a technical Officer. I have also worked as a Project Executive with National Dairy Development Board of India in Anand. after having my advanced education in dairy technology in Sweden. From Anand I came to Sweden for higher studies with a full scholarship from Sweden.

 At present I am living in a small town in Sweden called Lund doing research and teaching at the Lund Institute of Technology of Lund University.

 I have been a scientific adviser to International Foundation for science, and a member of the editorial board of the scientific journal Food Chemistry. I am a member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Food science and Nutrition and continue to referee articles submitted for publication in Medical Principles and Practices (Kuwait). I have been instrumental in development of LAN Food –Latin American network for food research and FOSSNA - Food Science and Nutrition Network of Africa.

 Love is my God, Logic is my Religion, Devotion is my Mission, Work is my Prayer, Sweat is my Happinesss, You are my Heaven, Children are my Blessing, Life is my Duty, Death is my Salvation. That is me in short.
