Raju was in the limelight in 1999 when a streaker dashed across the University of Wisconsin's football
stadium, said Politico."I landed the first interview with the Wisconsin student who streaked the field in
the nude - the moment after Ron Dayne broke the all-time NCAA rushing record before a crowd of some
80,000 screaming fans at Camp Randall Stadium," said Raju in an email. "Conveniently, the streaker is
one of my buddies, so he granted me the first interview just as he became a campus legend."
After graduating, Raju worked for a short period in broadcasting at the NBC affiliate in Madison,
Wisconsin, on the assignment desk. Raju has been a reporter in Washington for 10 years, and wrote for

Intel enters smartphone market in India with Xolo
At last, there is 'Intel Inside' in a smartphone. Intel entered the smartphone market on Thursday,
launching Xolo X900 in partnership with India's Lava Mobiles. The company, dubbed 'chipzill', makes
processors that power over 80% computers in the world.
Xolo X900 is the world's first Android phone powered by an Intel processor and represents the chip
manufacturer's first attempt to take on ARM Holdings, a British firm that makes technology, powering

corporate V-P.
The Xolo X900 is based on Intel's reference design and features Atom processor (Z2460) running at 1.6

first for phones in India, Sehgal added.
