I still remember the very first conversation with the editor about the book. Before that day I was just a reader, I never thought of writing a book. But now I had an opportunity to be an author! I was in a dilemma, and confused—can I be? But then my personal guide and philosopher Mandar gave me the confidence to go for it. Thank you Mandar not just for providing strong support, but also for your valuable suggestions, which helped me to improve the contents.

This book would not have been completed without the help of Shali, the editor. Her suggestions and efforts made the difference. Aaron, the acquisition editor, thank you for showing confidence in me, and giving me the confidence to write this book.

Without the best wishes and support of my family, it is doubtful that I would have completed this book.

It would be mean of me not to mention Ojas, my lovely son. I really appreciate the way he supported me, so that I was able to write peacefully. Love you a lot dear!!!

Finally, thank you to all who helped by supporting me directly and indirectly to complete this book. Thank you all just for being with me!!!
