It gives me immense pleasure to thank the people who have helped me in this Journey. Many people contributed their time and energy on my behalf to make this book what it is. I would particularly like to thank to Nitin, Sandeep, Vaishnavi, and Rupali, who have been with me and encouraged me.

I would like to thank Mitesh; without his painstaking effort, this book would have never seen the light of day.

The patience and willingness to help shown by my reviewers is greatly appreciated.

I've always thanked a lot of people who have been instrumental in contributing to my life's journey until now, but I guess it's time to really acknowledge that one person who has been with me as long as I can remember.

With this book, I would like to thank the one and only invisible, yet omnipresent Almighty. We share a mutual love-and-hate relationship and I really value it. You were always there equally during my good and bad times and without You, I wouldn’t have made it this far!

Special thanks to Manisha for helping me in this journey; without her this book was not possible.

Last but not least, I want to thank all who taught me how to love myself, first!
