Good Day one and all,

I wrote a post – Being a Microsoft MVP exactly one year back, and now time has yet arrived to narrate a similar post, but a year older and wiser post.

Earlier this week I was re-awarded with Microsoft MVP 2012 by Microsoft Corporation. I thank Microsoft Corporation and many MSFT’s, who are consistently monitoring and managing many online communities to make sure right technology reach right people at right times for right problems. There are many great Microsoft Full Timers with whom I had long conversations over years and shared many technical perspectives, I may not be able to name each and everyone of them, but I thank all of them for their encouragement to me throughout.

Last year was a pretty busy year for me. I already narrated some of my experiences through a post – Happy New Year 2012 – My Life in 2011. Because of my personal and professional commitments (and in fact strong commitments) I was not able to consistently support online community. Its been a hard year for me to manage lot of bits and pieces associated to me, I hope I managed everything with some if’s and but’s, end of the day I hope everyone is happy for being associated with me.

I thank my Family, Mentors, Teachers, Friends, Well Wishers and Colleagues for being a wonderful part in my last years accomplishment. I have had a lot of positive influences on me directly or indirectly by many people in 2011, so now it’s my part to share this award with everybody.

I thank my Readers and members of different Online Communities (in which I was associated) for sharing such great experiences of them. I made many friends online, with whom I had not only technical problem solving techniques but also many other things like Analytical Perspectives, Diversified thought process etc., were discussed and analyzed. I thank all of them from bottom of my heart for being such kind to me.

This year 2012 is going to be a well excited year to me. I have many interesting challenges on my plate right now. The biggest challenge is obviously my personal time allotment/management and prioritization. I am working on it right now, in fact I already laid out a comfortable, easy and convenient plan which gives me ample time to spend on this blog or in any online communities. I am planning to stay more focused on this Blog – change its theme, put up more interesting stuff weekly, concentrate more on thought provoking posts rather than providing technical solutions. At the same time, I want to concentrate on Technical communities, where we can find many real world challenges and where people are more excited to talk. I also planned for some certifications from Microsoft, may be not right away immediately but may be in the third quarter.

Lastly, It’s been always a pleasure to think about all the people whom I mentioned above. I thank everyone once again. See you guys soon in one more post.

Regards,

Rami.
