“It was a tremendous feeling, when my first book “E-Banking and Security Transactions” got published in 2005. At present with its third edition is circulation, this book is included as text book in syllabus of BCA in Ajmer University, University of Jodhpur, University of Kota, and University of Udaipur. I authored another book titled “Computer Fundamentals”, and another titled “E-Commerce”, which were widely appreciated and included in UG courses.

Every academician dream to work with an international acclaimed publisher like Springer & so I was. It came true when I recently edited a book titled “Pervasive Computing: A Networking Perspective and Future Directions”, in 2019, which was published by Springer Nature, Singapore Pvt. Ltd. Springer Nature, Singapore again invited me to author another upcoming book titled “Smart Health Systems”. Along with this, another book titled “System Analysis & Design”, with BPB Publishers, New Delhi is under publication.

After authoring different technical books, now I am very excited to work on my dream book projects related to different societal issues like Spirituality at workplace and Work-Life Balance for Working Women in India, to name a few.

This is just a start of my journey as an author……. Miles to go.”
