I might have to thank a lot of people. I guess I could call these people the leaves of this book. I thank my dad, mom and brother who are the sole reason for my existence. My father has been the biggest inspiration of my life and will continue to be so throughout my life. My mom and her grit to never give up and be stubborn has helped me jump a number of hurdles which kept me afloat to achieve the completion of this book.

I thank my friend and support system Sreshta for sticking by me throughout my life until now as a mentor, philosopher and friend. My friend Zahid who instils thoughts in me.

Leadstart Publishing for bestowing the opportunity upon me and mainly a person called Javaji Munirathnam who is the sole reason for this book being in book stores rather than in my laptop. A person called Rajesh Kheny who is my fatherly figure. My editor Sharmila Ramnani for making my book readable. A friend called Indu who edited my book initially and made it worth sending to the publishers.
