Dedication

To lifeWhose every day is a projectThat I run from time’s shoulders.To my friends,the key stakeholders:Gurmail Kandola, John Serri, and KulwinderBaldev Khullar, Ruth Gordon, and BhupinderStanley Wong and Srilatha are a few to name.With friends, I can see clearlyThrough storm and rain.Friends without whomEvery path is just a trail of dust.With whom I’m like the first manWalking on the planet Earth.
