In contrast, Indian team showed a character of sheer looser and the whole world witnessed everything that could go wrong in this side. Lack of planning, improper selecting procedure, poor leadership, bitter interpersonal relations, dominance of few players, politicized environment etc. Indian cricket board, despite being wealthiest across the globe, is known for absence of transparency and accountability in its functioning, improper region based selection and week domestic cricket. It's also the time to think for upliftment of other games which are marginalized due to contry's whole-hearted attention on just cricket. Let this turbulent time become an opportunity for creating an environment where all other games can flourish. We believe that if just a half of money spent annually on cricket is utilized for all other sports, Indian sportsmen can bag many international laurels. Is it possible? Is anybody listening? Does anyone bother? Come on India! Let us salute the indomitable spirit 'never say no' attitude and unflinching commitment of Australian team towards cricket and learn atleast some good lessons. Players should also understand that brand endorsement comes automatically with performance. With large number of big mergers and acquisitions made by the leading corporate houses, this year marked a new place for image of brand India. Coming year is going to witness yet many more such moves with the inspiration and sense of confidence gained from these strategic actions. Realizing the retail revolution in India, PIM organized a national workshop in collaboration with AICTE, New Delhi. Understanding our responsibility for local business community, Institute also organized two highly successful workshops on 'Talent Management' and 'Brand Mantra'. This issue covers these events along with the experiences shared by few students related to their summer training and major research projects (MRP). Phenomenal placement story of outgoing batch has also occupied some place in this issue. With many more promises from PIM to the corporate world, students, parents and entire community for the next academic year; I handover this responsibility to my successor and express my deep sense of gratitude to one and all who supported me in this effort in last three years.

The modern era of study of the representation of object concepts in the human brain began in 1983 with a report by Warrington and McCarthy of a patient with preserved knowledge for animals, foods, and flowers, relative to inanimate objects (Warrington & McCarthy, 1983). This was fol- lowed the next year by a report of four patients with the opposite pattern of preserved and impaired category knowledge (Warrington & Shallice, 1984). Specifically, these patients presented with a relatively selective impairment for knowing about living things and foods. Since publication of these seminal case studies, over 100 patients have been reported with a category-specific deficit for biologi- cal categories (living things, especially four-legged animals), relative to inanimate objects (especially tools and other artifacts), and more than 25 cases with the opposite pattern of deficit (Figure 1). Heightened appreciation of the importance of these clinical cases for understanding the organisa- tion of conceptual knowledge, as well as for object recognition, the organisation of the lexicon, and the storage of long-term memories, has also motivated an increasing number of functional brain-imaging studies of object category representation in the normal human brain. The goal of this special issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology is to provide a forum for new findings and critical, theoretical analyses of existing data from patient and functional brain- imaging studies.
