Over the weekend, I hunted and experimented with a new look, but was not the least bit pleased with the new look - far from it! I was wondering why I changed the look at all...I've also been wondering why I am not the type of a person who took up "computer classes" in college - atleast if I'd done that, I'd know how to fiddle with damn HTML settings and tweak the templates to my liking. Instead I must be content with someone else's creations. Ick...
Finally settled for this template - not really MY colours, but it works for me.
So what think?

Hi Geetanjali,
I dont know you and you dont know me but we both know Hardo. I googled 'hardo magdeburg burgstall' and got your blog. clearly you've been over to see him and i was hoping you could help. I used to be friends with Hardo when he was in india and i've lost touch with him over the years. I'm going to germany next week though and i'd like to give him a call and meet up with him. I was wondering if you knew how i could get in touch with him. my email address is leomirani@rediffmail.com so if you could let me know i would really appreciate it. thanks a lot.
Leo
I like!
:-)
aha,the ambience of a leisurely chat over coffee - first replaced by a minimalist, almost anticipating white. and then a sleek, albeit prosaic, makeover!
well done!
speaking of which, how do you view the connection between the form( in this case, the template) and the content of a blog?
It's like starbucks in here. I like.
it aint gud. Kinda dull.
If only all of computer science were as simple as editing HTML.
Sigh!

it reminds me of rainy days n muddy sneakers n wet aas hell jeans
nope i dont like it at al!!
*my 2 dollars worth*
I'm beyond glad I had to do html in college. Education does help apparently! It's...nice. I mean, yeah a bit muddy, but in a good way. (I don't know if that's possible, and my friend here says its good in a mud wrestling kind of way.) And sorta like starbucks, but without the people. I spose it's just dull. Applause that I got around to saying it. I liked white better.
Leo Mirani - Hey! I've actually seen your photographs when I was at Hardo's place for the last time on 2nd Jan 2004...man am I kicked that you came across my blog. Shall send you his address - make sure you kick his ass o my behalf when you meet him. Our common friend DOES NOT know how to stay in touch...Shit still so glad you foudn my blog...and bigger shit, you're going to Germany and Magdeburg! *burns up in envy*
August , Akshay, Rahul - Thanks guys
Wandering Dervish - ah well, I had tried earlier to choose a template that kind of reflected the content on the blog - since the tone of my posts vaires greatly, but still is informal I didn't want something stark, or something that makes too obvious a statement...but in the last 10 days or so, the hunt for a good template (kicked off coz a close frnd criticised the look - and continues to do so) coupled with my complete ignoriance of HTMl and the like, made me settle (read compromise) for this one last night.
Anon - Damn but I'm getting tired pleasing you baccha - like I don't do this much even for someone else (you know who we are talking abt here)
HN - Oh go away dont show off :-P (Now if thee were a real gentlemen thee wud offer to help - not that stubborn independant me would accept, but still...)
Rahul - Oye busy bee! Don't tell me you JUST saw the quotabe quotes section, coz that's been ard since forever...shall pass on msg to Kunu when I talk to him this eveg!
Elixir :-( I aimed to please..don't be upset!
Phal - Jealous thee knows HTML - who is this frnd who says my blog is reminscent of mud wrestling? Hehehe...never thot of that! Wasn't the white, like, so devoid of any style? And the sidebar was such a sore-eye in that template...
Sigh get back to work again Geets...
i liked the previous look much more..
and yeah...what happened to being "pampered by my folks"?!!!
