Acknowledgement
First and foremost, I would like to thank everyone at BPB Publications for giving me the opportunity to write this book. My special thanks goes to the BPB team for their invaluable feedback on this book. Their expertise, insights, suggestions, and advice were of great value. I also owe a big thank you to Anand Narayanaswamy for his in-depth guidance and feedback on this book.
It was my wife, Sabita Kanjilal, who got me thinking about writing a book like this. Without a random conversation with her, I would not have started this book. Thanks to all my family members for their support and encouragement. Without a loving and caring family, I wouldn’t have had the sanity to write a single word.
Lastly, I would like to thank all my critics. Without their criticism, I would never have been able to write this book.
