Places: New Delhi ~ 1
There was a lot of tension when we visited India this time. We had to get our Visa stamped and anybody stamping US visas knows that this tension is inevitable.
Add on to that the anxiety of losing precious vacation days in Delhi rather than being in Guwahati with the family 
But it would be unjust if I say that we did’nt enjoy at all in Delhi. The second day of being there we put on our Tourist look and went out in the street to look around Delhi (A-la-travel-channel-style). Our primary goal was to check out the historical places, which we both visited when we were kids and hardly remember anything. And so we did. Apart from touring the city we also got the chance to spend some quality time with our close friends ~ Neeraj and Pompy, who were always there to guide us, give us company and take us out to wonderful Delhi delicacies. Thanks Guys !!
Last time I was in Delhi was with my parents and my Grandmother (Dad’s Mom) when I was a little kid. I remember it was so much fun, apart from the fact that I fell sick. We then went to Agra, Mathura, Brindaban. I remember enjoying the trip very much and the rest is kind of blank. This time it was a pleasent experience to tour this Grand city as a grown up and appreciate it’s grandeur from a grown up’s perspective.

Building a Wordpress theme
Filed under: Creative, Design and CSS, Thenetweaver Related, Thoughts
In coming days I will try to build a Wordpress theme that will work as the skin for a website.
I started reading about it today and the most helpful resource comes from the Wordpress site itself. Here is the link to read.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Blog_Design_and_Layout
There are other tons of resources on the net. However it is not that easy as it seems, specially when you are out of touch in PHP for so long. Hopefully I should be able to come up with a plan soon.
Fingers crossed !!
Cheers ~

Another Design completed | Web 2.0 based
Filed under: Creative, Design and CSS, PhotoBlog, Thenetweaver Related, Thoughts
Web 2.0 based design
The designs can be found here.
I finished another design for a close friend of mine. This one is a free project for a startup based in Germany. I have sent the design to the team and awaiting a response. I hope that they will like it and that it will solve their purpose. The problem with startups is that you cannot be too experimental, with colors and such. They need to hit the market from day one and more conventional approach is preferred.
- Lots of importance to whitespace is intended. The darker BG is to make the whitespace pop.
- The Headline sizes have been carefully chosen to rank the items by importance.
- The Flash piece is envisioned to be rotating between 4 or 5 slides alongwith the text. So each slide will have it’s own text and Graphic.
- The font I have chosen is “Georgia”. In a recent survey, it was found that Sans fonts especially Georgia leaves a lasting imprint on the readers mind.
- The navigation is simple yet very clear so as not to confuse users. It is envisioned that the nav will drop down opening it’s own list
- I have included two boxes at the bottom and have repeated these boxes in the interior page. However these boxes can be changed according to your needs.
- I have followed the Web 2.0 standards while designing this site. That should explain the reason for using icons. Again a lasting imprint to the user.
