I am familiar enough with C#, objects and classes and i have tested Entity Framework 4 (tutorials, videos, blogs for CRUD operations). But i think this knowledge is not enough for a larger project with real business aspects such us Ajax partial updates, jquery, json data populating lists etc.
Which Books or tutorials do you suggest for Professional Programming with MVC?
ASP.NET MVC in Action, good book to look.
Checkout the Tutotials in ASP.NET MVC site. They have a nice Contoso University sample MVC app which uses Entity Framework and Repositary pattern.
You may also consider checking out some Open Source projects in Codeplex/Github and download the source code and try do make some customization. That is a good exercise for sure.
Practicing will make you an expert. So Practice Practice Practice. Write some code...
I like the Steve Sanderson MVC book for a good overview of the framework:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pro-ASP-NET-MVC-Framework-Edition/dp/1430234040/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1344004976&sr=8-4
believe there is an MVC4 version now too, but without Steve:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pro-NET-Edition-Professional-Apress/dp/1430242361/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1344004976&sr=8-2

I am a student now, and I like grails.
I have a bit experience with java, but not that much.
I know a bit of the java stack technologies
What technologies I should understand before going to developing websites with the Grails framework?
I would advise you to learn the Spring MVC Framework prior to Grails because Grails is based on this framework. So if you encounter an error you will have to check the stacktrace and understand what is going on.
You can start learning Spring MVC by reading Introduction to Spring Web MVC framework.
have you tried going through the getting started guide for grails? that should get you going, and you can pick up anything extra you need along the way...
It's worth knowing about the the technologies Grails is using under the hood:
Hibernate
Spring (especially MVC)
Groovy
It is also worth being familiar with the design patterns that Grails uses, in particular model-view-controller.
Some basic knowledge of relational databases will also be useful.

I want to develop a personal blogging website using ASP.NET MVC 4.
I know that I could be using WordPress/ Joomla/ Orchard/ Umbraco/ Funnelweb, etc., instead of reinventing the wheel but I really wish to try it out myself.
I do not want my website to look like some beatle-aged archaic remain. I see plugins like Akismet/ Prettify/ Markdown/ nrelate that add amazing functionalities to your blog. But I am not really sure if I would be able to use any of these in my custom application as most of them are PHP based. I want to stick under the Microsoft roof and implement technologies like HTML5, CSS3 Silverlight5 and WCF 4.0, along with ASP.NET MVC 4. (At least thats what I plan to do)
I understand that I need to develop a scalable database design that could accomodate newer functionalities in the future. Additionally, the exorbitant focus on SEO and cross-browser capabilities is overwhelming. Permanent links for individual blogs, internal navigation, video-embedding inside posts, etc., sound like building Rome in a day
Please if you could guide me personally or direct me to appropriate resources, it would be very helpful.
I am sort of doing it right now on my own. It's not done yet but it will give you an idea: MvcBloggy.
Also, have a look at FunnelWeb source code. It's written in C# and uses ASP.NET MVC 3 I believe but it's a really good resource and easy to follow.

What is the most popular design pattern in web app?
I know that in asp.net mvc often used dependency injection and repository, but I want to know which additional patterns can I use in web apps. And it would be best if you give me sample of situation in which I can use patterns, or give code snippet.
Most of the design patterns we've developed as software engineers over the last few decades are still applicable for the situations they were designed for. Depending on your needs you will use most of these in web apps at some point.
http://geekswithblogs.net/subodhnpushpak/archive/2009/09/18/the-23-gang-of-four-design-patterns-.-revisited.aspx
Also below is a link to a site that shows quite a few of these patterns and has explanations / examples. They have their own product, which the site is a shop front for, but the site does have examples and contain code samples so may be worth a visit if you feel like it. most in C#
http://www.dofactory.com/Patterns/Patterns.aspx
Singleton is the most popular pattern. It is also one of best know anti-pattern (patterns that are considered to be harmful).
Every newbie uses it, because it lets you use global state, that looks like object oriented code. It also lets you avoid, that confusing dependency injection thing.
As for the "Gang of Four" book, there has been a movement by some uneducated people to remove the Singleton pattern in latest editions, but the attempts has been successfully thwarted.
Or if you have $28... C# Design Strategies with Jon Skeet
I haven't watched it but I do plan to buy it soon.
edit: IMHO the most popular design pattern in asp.net web development is the Smart UI anti-pattern ;)

I have worked with ASP.NET webforms and windows application with C# but due to the change in nature of my job, I did not work with ASP.NET at all for 2 years. Now, I want to come back to ASP.NET and MVC is already there. I am following the tutorials on www.asp.net.
Should I learn LINQ and EntityFramework to learn MVC? Are there any other fundamental things to learn before learning MVC?
Do yourself a favor and learn HTTP, then you'll be good with any framework.
Now, I want to come back to ASP.NET and MVC is already there
Nevermind! Get started with MVC!
Should I learn LINQ and EntityFramework to learn MVC?
That is not necessarily a prerequisite. Maybe you need get used to lambdas (as they are used by many methods in MVC), so learning LINQ will guide through that.
Get a good understand of AJAX and jQuery (as it's included in the MVC stack) and you're good to go!

theres lots of good videos on youtube
also lots of stuff on channel9 if you want more official (MS) stuff. http://channel9.msdn.com/Tags/asp.net+mvc
All depends on what specifically you want to learn in MVC
