Achievement: My first book gets published.......

The fresh New Year arrived, followed my birthday and subsequently came this momentous triumph for me. My first book! 

As I had gushed before, its not a mere addition to my profile, its more of a reminder that 'dark clouds do recede and sun shines if you dare and persist'.

As I see the book, nothing but one emotion comes to my mind...gratitude towards the team of people who made it possible...Prof Lens who suggested this book, Alexandrine who motivated me with her concern to finish the tedious formalities and the staff of Crest Premedia Solutions who labored through the proof correction.
