Agriculture is the backbone of Indian economy. In India, the competition in agricultural education is increasing day by day. The competitive examination is an only routine procedure of admission in Agricultural Universities, viz. Central Agriculture University (CAU), State Agricultural Universities (SAUs), Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI). The competitive examination is also an only routine procedure of recruitment in agricultural job/posts, viz. Agricultural Research Services, State PSC and UPSC.

But still no book is there with authentic and authorised information. Therefore, I and my friends feel need to write this book. This book has been so as to serve, as best as possible to aim of writing this book.

I cannot count the number of people I have met in private sessions or among my acquaintances who complain to me about this strange change that has occurred in them: I am no longer the same as before, something strange has happened to me, I am missing something essential in my life. This complaint takes many forms. Perhaps I have lost passion or The vitality that was in my life has been extinguished, or I have lost the vitality that was in my life, and I have not found a more accurate description of all these changes than missing life. I miss my previous life. I miss the feelings of amazement that used to afflict me and make me endure some of the pains of life. I miss things that meant a lot to me. I started passing by them and did not care. I miss feelings. The comfort and warmth that came in flashes extinguished the fire of loneliness inside me. Why did this change occur to me? What harm had befallen me and dyed the colors of my life in a dark color?! In this book, I try to explain the changes that you feel. Perhaps it is pathological depression or a change in the midst of life's hustle and bustle and its many pains, or perhaps it is the most famous reason in these days that we live in, which is mishandling yourself that leads to self-hatred. You will find in these words solace for some feelings. What you feel that you cannot express, and many tools that help you get up again and return to life.
