Acknowledgement

Writing a book is hard but publishing it is even harder than I imagined. My writing journey may not have taken off, had it not been for these good people in my life. I humbly offer gratitude to all of them.

To my parents, without them, I am absolutely nothing. Thank you for providing me with the best of everything, and motivating me to pursue what I like. Dear Mamma & Pappa, it’s more than a blessing to have you both in my life.

To my Gurus and the Almighty, for ensuring everything I get in my life. Without the guidance of the Gurus and the blessings of the supreme power above, nothing would have been ever possible in my life, including my existence.

To the patriots and the freedom fighters, who sacrificed everything that they could, and even more, to see Mother India a free country. With pain and pride in equal measure, I sincerely hope to become a citizen worthy of this independance.

To the countless warriors of the country who are epitomes of sacrifices, protecting the freedom of India till date, I bow my head to all of you. Thank you for everything that you do for the country. Without you, fearless sleep would be a luxury.

To 16Leaves, my publishers, who have always come forward and helped transform my manuscript to a beautiful book. You guys are the best team one could ever ask for. Special thanks to Arti Walia Maam and Deepali Sawant Maam at 16Leaves.

To all my mentors and elders, who have taken the time to share their thoughts and messages for my book. I feel motivated and grounded to do more. Special thanks to Millind sir, for responding in a very short span of time.

To my little brother Yoogesh, my friendly rival, my partner in crime, my everything in precise, I love you for staying by my side and inspiring me to write more! I am so proud that you have joined my league of becoming an author.

Last but not the least, to my cherished reader friends - thank you for reading my books, blogs and stories, and sharing your valuable comments. They help me to improve day by day.
