The title of a book is like the name of a person, which amongst the Hindus, in particular, is very significant. It is generally given in a naam sanskar (naming ceremony). A family astrologer or temple priest describes the characteristics of a newly born baby based upon the Zodiac signs or horoscope duly prepared. A propitious time and name are chosen accordingly. For me, this process is no less important even when it comes to choosing a title of my book or a Reflection. After having given titles to over a thousand Reflections and eight books, it still takes considerable amount of time and thought for the naming of a new one. The process involves frequent tinkering with both syntax and semantics.

Autorenporträt
Satish C. Bhatnagar has been Professor of Mathematics at UNLV since 1974. His roots are equally deep in India as well as in the US. In 1961, after finishing his MA (Mathematics) from Panjab University, Chandigarh, he started his professional career as a lecturer in his alma mater, Government Rajindra College, Bathinda - his hometown in India. Subsequently, he also taught in the colleges at Shimla, Kurukshetra, and Patiala. In 1968, he leaped from India to Indiana University, Bloomington for an American PhD. However, a sheer stroke of luck brought him to Las Vegas for one year (1974-75), which eventually became his hometown in the US!In 1975, his younger daughter was born in Las Vegas. She graduated from UNLV - got married in Las Vegas, gave birth to two kids in Las Vegas, and since 2002, has been working as an English language teacher in CCSD. The two older kids also graduated from UNLV - one is a speech specialist in CCSD, and the other works for Google in California. As a visiting scholar, Professor Bhatnagar has visited India three times, Malaysia twice, and the Sultanate of Oman for one semester. Annual overseas trips, long walks and yogercises keep him oxygenated for his reflections on varied aspects of life. These reflections are independent, easily identifiable and digestible.
