Two more reasons two be a proud Indian. Two more models bringing the count to three.
Susheel Kumar won the bronze medal in the Men’s 66kg Freestyle Wrestling event at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.Kumar defeated Leonid Speiridonov of Kazakhstan in the repechage round to win the bronze. 
Boxer Vijender Singh will win a medal in the middleweight class, with a 9-4 victory over Carlos Gongora of Ecuador in the quarterfinals.
The clean shaven sikh from Haryana has achieved the golden dream for India at Beijing. Kudos to Abhinav Bindra. You made India proud. 
India’s Olympic curse has finally been lifted, by the chief executive of a computer game company with a history of back problems, says New York Times.
He is helped by his affluent family so that he could have his own state of the art shooting range at his farm house.
He has proved that With enough resources, it is not out of reach for India to claim medals at Olympics,at least in certain events.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Abhinav Bindra won the gold for the Men’s 10m Air Rifle final after shooting a total of 700.5. He scored 596 (fourth) in the qualifying round and out-scored all other shooters in the finals with a round of 104.5.
This was India’s first individual gold medal at the Olympics, and the first gold in 28 years, since the Men’s Hockey team won the gold at the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
Abhinav Bindra holds an M.B.A. (Masters in Business Administration) from the University of Colorado, US. He is the CEO of Abhinav Futuristics, a PC games peripherals distributor based in Chandigarh
Bindra’s mother, Babli, told the local CNN affiliate that his win “makes him an even more eligible bachelor” than he already was, but added, “I think it’s a bit too early to talk about him getting married.” First, she said, he should “enjoy his win and when the time comes we’ll talk” about a wedding.
On sunday, 3rd August, 2008, I went to MGBS (Imliban Bus Stand), Hyderabad, to give a send off to my girl friends and her father who were leaving to Tandur (120 Kms from Hyd). My girl wanted to sit on a bench. We both went to sit there and sat for a moment. We heard a very louder sound which made me scared and I thought that’s a bomb. After a while I realized that a running fan fallen on my head. I was badly hurt by the fan but, that’s not a bloody fan.Just a swelling occurred on my head. But, the moment I faced the situation was much horrible than I explained.
Some police officals came to me and asked, anything serious and I said “nothing, but I thought it’s a bomb”. One of the smiling Inspectors saysin Telugu, “Intikelli devudiki mokki kobbarikaaya kottu babu”, which means “after going home, just pray the God and treat him with a coconut”.
Tech giants are using their Indian operations to speed their organizational transformation from a monolithic Western multinational into a globally adaptive organization (GAO).
John Chambers, Cisco’s CEO opened in 2007 the Globalization Center East in Bangalore. Chambers wants 20% of Cisco’s top leadership to be located in Bangalore.
Nokia’s executive board invites all its Indian employees to suggest ways to improve the firm’s products, processes, and even business model.
SAP don’t treat India as merely a low-cost talent supply base or even a lucrative market for their offerings, but a real-life organizational learning lab for testing new operating models that later can be replicated across their global organization.

Seven months after touching the 18,000 level the Indian stock market index SENSEX is down to 13,586. Analysts may attribute the decline to hike in the price of petroleum , global slow down etc, but the fact is that the 18,000 level was not sustainable. It should be recalled that the the SENSEX shot from 12,000 18,000 in a very short span of time in 2007. That created an “irrational exuberance” of sorts. People were talking about SENSEX 25,000 , SENSEX 30,000 etc. The media fuelled the speculation. Investors seem to have forgotten that the stock prices are linked to the company earnings.
Yes, the hike in price of commodities, and global market conditions have caused the uncertainity in the market. But more importantly the fundamentals seem to have caught-up.
The Reliance Power Limited (RPOL) shares peaked at Rs. 375 in February 08. Now the share price for RPOL is down to Rs. 138.
The US dollar has continued to appreciate against the Indian Rupee. As on June 20 2008, one dollar is worth 43.120 Rupees. The fears of inflation has sent the Indian stock market bench mark SENSEX to 14,571.29 lowest in nine months.
India, with more than 41 million Internet users, ranks as the eighth largest Internet population in the world. With such a large population, this represents only about four percent of the Indian population. The number of Internet users is growing rapidly, 25 percent in the last year alone.
As the number of Internet users continues to grow and Internet adoption increases, India is emerging as an increasingly important country for domain names.
At the end of the first quarter of 2008, there were 1.2 million domain name registrations in India across all of the TLDs. This represents a 46 percent growth over the previous year and a 12 percent growth over the previous quarter. Of these registrations, approximately 685,000 are .com and .net domain name registrations and 410,000 are .in domain name registrations.
Medium and large businesses currently represent the vast majority of domain name registrants in India. Less than one percent of heavy Internet users in India surveyed have registered their own personalized domain name.
The 401K program offered by most of the employers in US is a way to get rich slow but steady. When you contribute mony to 401K you are taking advantage of the following :
- Most Companies match the contributions upto certain percentage.
- The 401 K deductions are pre-tax. That means more money goes into your account.
- You can do dollar cost averagng on the investments you buy. Refer to www.MoneyInfo.com for more information on dollar cost averaging.
- Most 401k plans offer good indexed funds such as Russell 2000 or S&P 500 that offer ways to grow your money with minimum risk and least amount of commissions.
After a few years you will be glad that you have started the 401K investment.
Some NRIs try to argue against investing in 401K giving the following reasons :
1. They may go back to India.
But even if you go back to India, your money will be there in your account, growing tax free. In this age of globalization, it will not be a problem to withdraw your funds, no matter where you live.
2. They would invest money in a better way:
When you consider the tax benefits and the company matching funds, and the tax free growth, it is very difficult to find a better investment than 401k if at all.
For all the Project Managers who can spare 2 days,
Is n’t it a good place to meet during early September?
