“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
—Psalm 23:1
First, I would like to say thanks to Almighty Lord Jesus Christ for offering me yet another opportunity to write this book. I owe everything to Him. I take this opportunity to praise and glorify Him for all the wonderful things that He does for all. God Bless.
I would like to dedicate my book to the following:
My dearest parents—my father, Mr. David Genu Waghmare, and my mother, Mrs. Kamala Waghmare—who laid the foundation of my career. Without them I am nothing. I thank God for my best Mom and Dad.
My adorable wife, Mrs. Priya Waghmare, for her love, encouragement, and care.
