he’s the captain for the windows phone 7 challenge 2012

Amazing Day for us!

I (nivesh) didn’t though of getting passed Round 1 caused we never gave before world level competition and you all should know that there are lots of windows phone developers. Well there is tough competition in Round 2 as only top 3 will be selected for next round
and teams from USA, ENGLAND ,etc are tough. This gave us more power to fight ahead and be ahead.

To give you guys only 9 teams from India got selected for round 2 , where  some are from iit (Bombay and other ).
well i’m glad only that our team from MMMEC just got through ,
