Ajeet,

http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html#Escape-Character

Do some reading on bash escaping. As you get more into *nix, you mad
find yourself writing scripts that have 2 or 3 levels of escapes. When
it comes it things like trying to set passwords if you don't know your
escapes you might end up locking yourself out of root :)
