This book has been a labor of love for over eight years, and there are so many ma people who deserve my heartfelt thanks for their invaluable support.
First and foremost, I am deeply grateful to my family. I couldn't have done this without you all:
To my husband Giri-your unwavering support has been an anchor in this journey. This book could have never been published if not for you.
Gautham-thank you for your cautious optimism as you read my drafts and gave me comments. Sumedha-I have to give credit where it is due. This book wouldn't have come to fruition, if not for you. Your complete support, insightful feedback, and constructive, honest yet sometimes harsh critiques have been crucial in shaping this work. Thank you for taking the time to carefully read each draft, review every illustration in detail, and share your thoughtful feedback at every step of the journey.
To my parents for their unwavering faith in me:
Mummy-Thank you for always being there for me through all of life's ups and downs, and for being my constant sounding board. You have been a big part of this book's journey, and your inputs especially on the illustrations - have been invaluable. I couldn't have done this without you!
Baba-Your enthusiasm at my first attempt at writing, your dedication to reading multiple drafts and your regular check-ins regarding my progress kept me motivated.
To my sister Divya, brother Niranjan and sister-in-law Ananya, who were a source of constant support through this process:
Divya-I'm especially grateful to you for taking the time to read this book aloud to my lovely nieces, Maanya, Meera, and Mithra. Hearing their reactions as you recorded yourself reading was absolutely priceless! Your effort means so much to me.
Niranjan-Your enthusiasm and encouragement were incredibly motivating, even though you were one of the last to read my book draft.
Ananya-Your infectious excitement and candid feedback meant so much to me as you read through multiple drafts. I truly appreciate your support.
