More on the Zoho story. They have employed some interesting tactics...

Quoted: Pay one year of college fees. This is a salary, not a loan, with no strings attached. According to Raju, 90% join Zoho at the end of that year, but there is no obligation. This gives Zoho an edge with the brightest at school as they have an unusual offer.

Nice story. However, I find myself using the lighter-weight Google and 37Signal offerings over Zoho.

Quoted: Defying Conventional Wisdom
...
Everything about this story is improbable. And gloriously old fashioned. When I met Raju Vegesna, I kept on thinking this was some kind of time warp. Zoho has simply ignored much of the conventional wisdom. Consider:

Paes wins the mixed doubles. Next up: the men's doubles championship.

Quoted: India's Leander Paes completed a career mixed doubles Grand Slam on Thursday, joining Zimbabwe's Cara Black to beat Britain's Jamie Murray and American Liezel Huber 7-6 (8/6), 6-4 in the US Open final.

Paes has reached both the men's doubles and mixed doubles finals at this year's US Open.

Quoted: Indian tennis star Leander Paes romped into the semifinals [Mohit - now finals] of the men's doubles and final of the mixed doubles of the US Open in New York. In the mixed doubles final Paes and Cara Black will take on Liezel Huber of US and Andy Murray of Britain

India gets a third medal -- for the first time ever in a single Olympics.

Quoted: one more medal hope!! now in boxing!! Vijender Kumar enters the semis of the 75kg boxing event in Beijing.

Vijender assures India of another Olympic medal : http://tinyurl.com/5qjyx3

Sushil Kumar (not to be confused with the boxers Vijender Kumar and Jitender Kumar who will be up later today or the boxer Akhil Kumar who is out) just won a bronze in wrestling. India's medal count is now at 2.

This is the first Olympics since 1952 that India has won more than one medal.

A third Indian boxer (also a Kumar?) has made the quarterfinals. All three each need one more win to at least get a bronze.

Quoted: Vijender Kumar became the third Indian boxer after Akhil Kumar and Jitender Kumar to enter the quartefinals at Beijing Olympics. Vijender beat Thai boxer Chompuphung in the 75kg Middleweight category.

Happy Rakhi! Note: There are *two* such holidays every year: Rakhi and Bhaiya Dooj.

Quoted: The festival is marked by the tying of a rakhi, or holy thread by the sister on the wrist of her brother. The elder brother in return offers a gift to his sister and vows to look after her same as elder sister return offers to younger brother. The brother and sister traditionally feed each other sweets.

Two Indian boxers (who happen to be cousins) have each made the quarterfinals. That means they are each one win away from a medal.

Quoted: India's medal hopes in Beijing Olympics got another boost, with ace boxer Jitender Kumar reaching the quarterfinals of 51kg Flyweight category. After his cousin Akhil Kumar reached the quarterfinals by beating the World Champion, Jitender emulated his feat by beating Uzbek boxer Tulashboy Doniyorov 13-6 in an ill-tempered bout. "I dedicate this win to Akhil. He has been everything for me and I want to win a medal for him", said Jitender after winning the bout.
