Proud to be a Microsoft Silverlight MVP – October 2010

Today Morning (1st October, 2010) when I noticed the mail with the Subject line: “Congratulations on receiving the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award”, I was really surprised. This is the biggest Award in my Life. I am really feeling very proud once I got the MVP Award from Microsoft.

Yeah, it was the early morning when I received the mail from Microsoft India MVP Lead “Abhishek Kant” mentioning the following:

Dear Kunal
Congratulations on getting awarded as an MVP for contributing to the technical communities!

Another mail that I received, says:
