How was 2008 for me and Questpond ?

How was 2008 for me ?I think if i have prospered on a personal level then its on 2008. Here are some of the achievements i made on personal front :-
My AcheivementsReleased project management interview questionsReleased Excel,Word Questions and Answers
Released Architecture Interview questions
Established QuestPond formally by launching .NEt architecture videos and .NET project videos
Tied up with 4 bookshops ( its less but atleast i started) to sell Questpond product
Written around 100 articles across all major microsoft sites
My own brother now looks after my marketing work , so was able to hire my brother :-) .
In all Microsoft websites my articles where published this was a big leap for questpond and me.
Found my backup partner Mr Guru who will help me in writing and recording. I am sure he is not good than but the best.
Regrets and Failures
Comparative with 2007 i have given more time for my family but i want to give more this year.
Worked on some videos like Enterprise blocks but that did not give me much output and visibility. if had invested somewhere else should have made more out of it.
Did not write much books this year due to video work.
Have not made any international expansion on personal front.
Not revised .NET Interview question book still.

Future plans
Revising .NET interview 5 the edition
SharePoint video
WCF.WPF,WWF and LINQ video series
OOPS video
Interview Question on SharePoint , Oracle , Web designing
Finally i am nothing with out you readers , who take pain in hearing my videos and reading my articles/books. Thanks a lot from my heart to you guys....With out you readers this guy is nothing.

Good progress. I will say awesome progress. This is Raju here from the VFS team. I was a great fan of your technical knowledge. The way you gave solutions to our problem was easy and nice. It was nice working under you and Sainath.

No. of lines in achievements in 2008 is higher than no. of regrets. It's been a quantum leap for you this year in terms of online. The law of exponential returns will continue in 2009, hopefully.

Raju & Raman - thanks for the generous words.

Regards,
Sainath

I was standing on a Australian computer book shop. A girl walked in confidently and said Design patterns by Shiv Koirala. I was shocked she some how spelled your name. Not only i felt proud as Indian , but also i was able to feel your success. I searched your name online got your blog and wanted to convey this thing to you. I think this is big leap for a Indian IT author. Good going.
