[Attachment] Our latest BlackBerry social super-fan is computer scientist and graphic designer Bhanu Malhatra (@bhanu1).

Based in New Delhi, India, Malhatra holds a Bachelor of Computer Applications degree from the city's Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University.

In addition to coding apps, he makes frequent use of his graphics design prowess to create unique imagery that he shares with other BlackBerry fans on Twitter, as illustrated below.

His creativity captured the attention of our CEO, John Chen. For his commitment and talent, he has been awarded a PRIV.

(The Fan of the Month contest is evolving - read the rules for this month at the bottom of this post.)

[Attachment]In his spare time, he visits the gym and practices yoga to keep himself fit and focused. He also has a deep interest in the latest IT trends and innovations, as well, and is a regular reader of top tech publications like Gizmodo and Mashable.

Bhanu received his first BlackBerry - the Curve 8520 - back in 2010, and he's been with the brand ever since. At the moment, this new graduate's device of choice is the BlackBerry Z10, which keeps him on-track and organized during his job search. It was also indispensable while he attended University as well, says Bhanu.

'I used Docs to Go all the time to complete my assignments, mailing them out as soon as they were done' he explains. 'The keyboard is great for that. Typing is fast, flawless, and effortless, and the Hub keeps everything organized and makes it really easy to reply to any emails that come my way.'

'I'm proud to use and support BlackBerry, and I'll continue to do so as long as they continue to make great phones,' he adds.

The Fan of the Month contest is undergoing a change! This month, we want all our social super-fans to show off their summer photography skills. Share some pictures of yourself out and about with your BlackBerry smartphone on either Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #BBFOTM. Whoever submits the best photo will qualify as our next superfan!
