Posted at: 7/2/2010 at 11:25 AM by saravana
Every year 1st of July is a bit of a panic day for me. I check my email more frequently than I normally do. Because that's my MVP renewal day. I?m very pleased to say, I been re-awarded the MVP status for 2010 4th year in a row. I would like to thank everyone who worked behind the scene (honestly I don't have a clue.).

7/4/2008 MVP Year - #2

Posted at: 7/4/2008 at 9:37 AM by saravana
I'm delighted to say I been awarded Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for second year in a row. My first MVP year was awesome, its hard to believe the level of benefits you get from Microsoft for being an MVP. I'll say the highlight of my award year was participating in the "Oslo" Software Design Review at Redmond during the MVP global summit. Without being an MVP its very unlikely I would have got a chance like this to hear directly from the Product team their futu... [More]

Posted at: 4/14/2008 at 11:57 AM by saravana
It's exactly 24 hours since I started my journey from London Heathrow to attend the 2008 MVP summit, I'm still travelling. I'm writing this blog post from Chicago O'hare airport at 5:30 AM in the morning. It's not a good start, it looks like I'm going to miss the morning session of the summit. Lesson Learned: Avoid change overs in US from International to Domestic with short time duration.  Don't plan to reach your destination very late. To add to my... [More]
