*Great Niraj,
Congratulations!!!!
i was knowing that you were behind the SP track since long.
Great that the tiresome journey has finished and you finally got the Service
Provider track done.
Congratulations, And really your family have the credits aswell for this,
It's a wonderful teamwork.
Without the family and the collective sufferings & understanding this was no
dream.
You really have some great friends with you !!!
Congratulation, and get back to real life.
Goodluck for the MBA,
Regards,
Dara
