Why a Change?

"Change" - This word has a power in it,it can transform an ideas to thoughts and to make it reality.

Now this series of posts will be silent witness to the battles and struggles,to reach where i want to be.

I have started my journey as "Dot Net Developer" and Now At Present as a "Software Tester"..but the destination is not predefined.

New Series

I am hoping this series of posts will be useful and the series of articles will be  posted regularly.

This series of topics will be on "SQL Server" - My Favorite Technology.
