an iDiya beyond ' i '

Its been an exciting week at Kho-joe, With good response from our user's, the new updates on the website done and to top it all, the entry of khojoeteam in round two of the iDiya.

Little events, ordinary things, smashed and reconstituted. Imbued with new meaning. Suddenly they become the bleached bones of a story.

It was not more than an ordinary day when we decided to finally put our foot down and get ourselves involved in working towards our dream, a little selfish perhaps that "we could make it big". Today we stand in the middle of talent pool with bursting energy that needs only one outlet.

The selfish us has taken a back seat rather has been pushed to a corner seat by the overwhelming response we have received. So much talent, and no place to go ? This is no longer about us, soon we realized.

A few "key"words in google and About 502,000 results in 0.09 seconds, yet the folk dancer in Jaisalmer can only find herself being watched and recorded by a German tourist in the scorching sun.
Dancing might not be her hobby, but she sure is good at it, and with"India Shining (no not the BJP shine !) why should we leave a major chunk of our talent restricted only to a tourist's camera.

The idea here is not to make a platform for them to "flaunt" their talent, but for us to contribute to someone Else's success bit by bit (00100010101010000).

iDiya has inspired us to add another dimension to our work, perhaps a new mission statement " If you are there, so are we "; we will work towards making our service so widespread, no talent shall go unnoticed.
