I am sure that we all have friends and we value friendship more than anything. In fact, the complete model of Facebook is built on friends. If you have lots of friends, you must be a lucky person. Having a lot of friends is indeed a good thing.

Well, send me details about how many of your friends like my page and you would have a chance to win lots of learning materials for yourself and your friends.

This is USD 444 (each set USD 222) worth gift. It contains all the five Joes 2 Pros books (Vol1, Vol2, Vol3, Vol4, Vol5) + 1 Learning DVD. [Amazon] | [Flipkart]

Hi Pinal,
I am re-guessing it..:)
It should be Denali and a kindle…:)
it has a ps3 and a tv in the bigger box
Hi Pinal,
The box contains your knowledge.
I think Pinal has more than that! :)
Hey Pinal,
First of all Congrats for doing this tremendous job for SQL Server community for all these years,its worth it.
On the guess part its t-shirts of SQLAuthority.com.
That smaller box has another box in it :)
gifts for your daughter or some kind of tablet(kindle,ipad) with accessories.
First, Congratulation !!!. And about these two boxes, I think bottom one is containing all your readers or followers of
and the top one is containing friends who like your page on facebook and twitter.
Now you want to increase your friends on facebook and twitter and in future you want to replace the top box [smaller] with another big big box.
I hope my guess works. :-)
