I would like to thank my wife, Ashwini, for supporting and always standing by
my side in good and bad days.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the mentors I was blessed
with, who unconditionally shared their knowledge and inspired me.
Mibuso and all Microsoft Dynamics NAV related blogs are a great boon
for all NAV consultants. I would like to thank all the contributors of these
great sites.
Love you Aabha, my cute little princess!
