Acknowledgement

When a book like this comes into existence, it was very hard to name and thank all the people that helped me shape this book. It took me more than six years to consolidate and format all the content in a manner that may benefit the readers.

However, I always thank my wife Sumanji for her continued patience and understanding. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my father Shri Bhagwan Das Bansalji, who is my best teacher also, for their continued encouragement and invaluable support.

I would like to thank my sons Anurag and Gaurav for the tremendous help I receive from them to design this book.

Preface
As I mentioned in the previous part that the idea of this book came to my mind after watching Kaun Banega Crorepati episodes and watching many people drop out without winning enough. I think most of the time the reason was either not enough preparation or lack of resources to enhance the knowledge required to win BIG such a game.

Thats why I started writing this book on various subjects so that it can offer the basic guidance to the people preparing for a game like this. Nonetheless everyone can get benefitted with this set of books because Ignorance is the curse of God, Knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.

The Key to Success has been written for the people trying to prepare for Kaun Banega Crorepati. Therefore the scope of this book is not to deep dive on any subject rather swim across various layers which is what one need to qualify for winning large sum on Hot Seat. Since 6th series of Kaun Banega Crorepati has already started, I hope everyone will be benefitted with this book.

However, this book cannot be used to gain exhaustive knowledge on any given subject but it provides enough information that you can easily remember and be better prepared for the game.

At the end of the book, a multi-choice Questionnaire is given that has only one correct answer. Try to attempt those questions on your own and then check the correct answers from the Answer Sheet.

Good Luck !!!
