Sincere gratitude and abeyance  to all those from whom I learnt and imbibed values and principles

2. My Father for being fearless
3. My sister Julie who encouraged me always, besides being like a mother to me
4. My wife Nalini who taught me that “You eat for yourself but dress for others”. How to Love infinitely
5. My daughters, for making our experiment succeed, in not indoctrinating them in any one religious path
6. A neighbor who taught me to eat with my lips closed at all times
7. Those who broke my trust taught me to “Trust but Verify”
8. Life - To be ambitious is not a sin; To be poor is not a sin; Most of all that “I am the architect of my Life”
9. Money - It can buy you a lot of Freedom if used judiciously
10. Possessions don’t last. Values remain
