Even I could not imagine that I will come up with such a book so early. As always, there are few people behind a person who do the things. I, first of all, will mention those three people. Firstly, Himanshu, my husband, this is his idea. It was just a few months back when the research methodology lectures started around March. I was making my notes for class. He said, “Write every lecture in detail; you can make it a book later”. I didn’t know this can be materialized in July. Secondly, my Guruji Pandit Sanjoy Bandopadhyay, who is always an inspiration for almost everything in my life. He deserves special thanks as he only had confidence (which I didn’t have) on me. Thirdly, Dr Krishnendu Dutta, My colleague at Sikkim University. He has just blind confidence in me. He only asked me to do it just now. And I did; thank You Sir! The time when this book was being written was tough in every one’s life. India was fighting with the second wave of COVID-19. With lots of stress and worry of losing one of the dearest members of the family, sometimes I was writing with tears in my eyes. In this journey, two of my dearest students Manisha and Saraswati, who were with me for almost three months, have helped me a lot in nearly everything. They are the witness of all the sentences/pages I was improving. Every diagram I was doing. Thanks a lot, Dear!. God bless you. My mother and sister were worrying every day about how will I finish my work. My MPhil and PhD student. Who unknowingly are the very first inspiration for this book to happen. And to my little sitar student Shradha Sharma who has designed the cover page. Special thanks to the wizard publisher especially Saiyed Junaid, to bear with my delay submitting the manuscript and materializing it.
