I would like to thank my lovely wife, Girija, for standing beside me when I took the decision to write this book. She compromised a lot of quality time and was there beside me throughout this journey, and I dedicate this book to her. I also want to thank my wonderful children, Venba and Inba. They were my stress busters in hectic weekends, and I hope one day they will understand why I was busy with my laptop instead of playing with them. I'd like to thank my parents for taking care of the kids along with my wife while I was hooked on my laptop. My family, including my in-laws, have always supported me in authoring this book, and I really appreciate it.
