Darjeeling to New Delhi by air. New Delhi to Mussoorie by bus. And then back again in similar fashion. A day's rest, then on the road again.
Darjeeling to Calcutta (Kolkata) on an ill-maintained bus. 14 hours of sleepless, bumpy ride.
Now at Kolkata. Hot and horribly humid. Tonight, I'll be back on the road again. This time towards home. Won't be travelling for a long time. That's for sure.

The current theme is the latest from the Spring Collection and launched even as I write. It was conceived, designed and uploaded in two days flat. I was inspired by the beautiful floral, printed fabrics of North India to create this design. So it should come as no surprise to you why I have christened it 'Fabric'.
The layout is semi-fluid, that is to say, the whole page should fit neatly onto any screen size without any problems, save but a few things that have fixed widths. A caveat in this regard - I have tested this only on 17" screens. I request feedback from people using other screen-sizes.
Finally, as is customary, this template is also released under the CC3.0 license. Please read the 'Instructions' if you choose to use it. Sadly, my host has an extreme aversion to downloads, so if you want this template, you will have to contact me or write a comment. I will mail the ZIP ASAP.

Update: Like the previous theme, this theme is also hosted on GT500.org. Download it here and please give him a visit while you are at it. He's been a great help.

I request feedback from people using screen-sizes other than 17".

For those who are finicky about standards, here is the good news. The CSS is now error free! There has been some minor changes too. The blockquotes now get a different look, keeping in tune with the rest of the page. There has also been some adjustments to various fonts.

PS: This post is in reference to the older theme, which is still available.

The 'Contact Me' Page issue has been resolved. I should be able to receive mails without any trouble now.

All creative artists have, on occasions sought inspiration from others' works and it is fair to assume that there is no designer who churns out pure originals day in and day out. However, where does one draw a line between inspiration and imitation? Take the case of LogoMaid for instance. A supposedly genuine company whose expertise lies in Logo designing and, judging by their frontpage testimonials, has dozens of satisfied customers to boast of. Their catch-phrase reads, "When we design a logo for you, we put our heart and soul into the process because every single logo for us is a stepping stone." Those words should be testament enough, to bag a contract. But are all their emblems originals? I think not. I couldn't help but cringe when Godbit complained that their logo had been pinched. It is a popular site, particularly among web-designers, and being a regular visitor myself, I was a little angered by the theft.
Godbit isn't the only one though. There are others. And probably even more, if one has time to look hard enough. I also liked Robert Evans' idea of a non-direct approach (through blogs, forums, etc.) rather than a confrontational approach to dissuade LogoMaid from stealing other company's logos. A caveat from me - "Do business with LogoMaid at your own risk."
