Dedicated to my wife, Hymavathi, for her continued support of my academic activities for nearly five decades; to my children, Vijay, Madhavi, and Radhika, for enduring and gracefully excusing my absences because of my academic vagaries; and to my grandchildren, Meghana, Anjali, and Rhea, our future!
