ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to acknowledge my family and my daughter for their patience in bearing with me while I typed notes into the night and missed out on some of the family time and memories. Thanks for your love and forgiveness.
I would also like to thank Mrs Shobhana for her help and encouragement. It was when I was feeling the stress of completing my research that she encouraged me the most and helped me realize that I could do it. I would also like to thank Mr Rafiq of all his words of encouragement and commitment. Also I would like to thank Mr Niranjan for his unfailing dedication to getting me through this. His cheerfulness and support provided me with the confidence to get my research project done.
