I would like to dedicate this book to my parents, Abdul Rashid and Sherbano, and sisters, Tasneem and Lubna. Thank you all for your encouragement on every small step that I took forward. Thank you mom and dad for all the sacrifices and always believing in me. I would also additionally like to thank my seniors for their mentorship and friends and colleagues for supporting me over the years.
