A special thank you to my family Manohar, Harjit, Nina, Gaurav and Shalu Kochhar for their unconditional and unfailing love and support which have enabled me. Manohar for always having been there for me through thick and thin and for buying me a drumset as a child against everyone's good advice. Harjit for his love and for teaching me drawing and painting as a child and offering to frame every painting I made. Nina for her love and never ending encouragement to pursue my wide and varied interests. Gaurav for standing by me in all circumstances.

This is dedicated to all my teachers and masters who have shown me the way and have guided the training.
