The Glass Prison - Thejendra Sreenivas
Acknowledgments
My first thanks go to Toni Morrison, a famous American author, and recipient of countless awards including the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes, who first planted the incredible seeds of writing a book in my head. Even though I have never met her it was her amazing quote, "If there is a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it," that inspired and motivated me to write articles and books nearly two decades ago.
My second thanks go to my family members, friends, neighbors, and relatives for helping me accomplish this literary feat by completely forgetting or ignoring me on countless weekends while I was pounding on my keyboard with wild ideas setting my head on fire.
My third thanks go to the various bits and pieces of enlightenment gained from dealing with countless people over the years, opening all the mental taps, personal and witnessed experiences, pleasant and nasty encounters, rational and irrational thoughts in solitude, wake-up calls, famous quotes, and most importantly those bizarre ideas being mysteriously pumped into my brain by a naughty higher power. So, a lot of earthly and cosmic folks have directly or indirectly contributed to the flow of thoughts presented in this and all my other books.
