My dear Rodinhooder,
This week I’ve been grumpy and under the weather owing to a viral. While I was groaning and moaning between coughing fits, I read this post which made me stop. So before you go on to read the rest of the newsletter, I want you to go through this post first and watch the video. Then salute Kshitiz. After that I urge you to share the link and ask people to do the same!
Read ‘Writing without arms, yes it’s possible!’ and be inspired. Let’s get Kshitiz crowdfunded so he can make a documentary about his incredible journey!
Look who’s got acquired!
Shoutouts to Snehil & Rachit – FindYahan just got acquired by Zimmber; and Subrat Kar of Vidooly for acquiring iCouchApp! Woohoo!!!

A lot of Rodinhooders ping me to ask how they can be more active on TRH or contribute (if they are non-writers). The best value each one of you can add is by sharing your feedback with a fellow Rodinhooder. Start by going through posts in SHOWCASE! or ASK. Like, Share, Comment with your feedback. It really helps. Here are the hottest 101 ventures/products showcased in 2015 – so dig in!
