Everything for Bloggers

If you are a blogger this is one site you must visit. It began as I started collecting links to some sites very useful for bloggers. Lately I've been using it to upload the Blogger Templates designed by me.

And, with immense pleasure, I'd like to share that some of my templates have already been featured on other template/theme related sites :)

Visual Cerebration

This is my online Art, Design and Photography gallery. You'll also find the templates and wallpapers designed by me here.

http://visualcerebration.blogspot.com/

The following site was created for theosophical/religious art(based on Sikhism). Though, there's not a lot of work there right now, just a few simple and elegant wallpapers, it would be updated soon, hopefully :)

Un'kwow'ted Quotes

Link - O - Phobia

This blog is a collection of some links I'd recommend people to visit. Some software recommendations are also there.

Why the name Link-O-Phobia?
Well, the prevalance of spam in the links these days has generated a fear which prevents people from clicking on links - Link - O - Phobia. And that is one thing that people should not be worried about when clicking on the links on this site :)

Here's the link: http://linkophobia.blogspot.com

NetLife Update

In the past couple of months I've become a member of the following sites. Still exploring so am not sure how active I'd be on which site. Though, if you are on any of the sites feel free to add me on. Here's the list:

- Digg
- StumbleUpon (This is an excellent site for those who would like to do interest-based random exploration of the net.)
- TechnoRati

PS: This list is also available in the QuickAccess section on the homepage :)

Farzi Movie Buff

Here I just write 'super-short' reviews of all movies that I see. Briefly mention the story followed by a line or two of commentary. I follow a 'Traffic Light Rating System'(designed by me ;).

This is an easy way for me to keep movie-watching in control. Formed primarily for friends who ask my opinion about the movies that I've seen. This blog was once upon a time my most visited blog.

Eclectic Readings

Since June 2008 I've been writing reviews of the books that I read. This is where you will find them: http://eclecticreadings.blogspot.com/

Verbal Prison

This blog started as Guftagu - taking inspiration from the conversations about love that I had with the people around me. But as it got more and more about love and less and less about Guftagu I decided to rename it to isbaat-e-mahabbat(Proof of Love).

Recently I realised that I've been using this blog to imprison my thoughts in the jail of words. And so the new avatar: Verbal Prison. I do not see any changes to it after this, but, then neither did I see any changes earlier.

Here's the link for you:  http://verbalprisonbymsa.blogspot.com/

Celebrity Blog Index

"Just started a new blog. About half an hour back. The idea came to me about 2 days back. The intention is just to keep track of the various celebrities who are blogging away."

You can make that blogging/tweeting/socialising :)

Constructed

Well, am through with the designing of the site. Its time to test and finally post!

I believe there are some issues with the display on IE... the black division is showing below the white division... on FireFox and Chrome its working perfectly :)

Feedback is welcome. Also, lemme know if you feel there is an error(especially like the one I've mentioned above) anywhere.

Ciao.

Under Construction

An Indian

That's my nationality.

Again, just like religion, this is something that you get by virtue of your birth. But, unlike religion, the percentage of people who change their nationality is much more, especially in developing countries. People move to other countries, usually developed ones, seeking better opportunities and with time settle there.

What reminds one of his/her nationality - well, sports matches, formula 1 races, chess/billiards/golf games, job/college forms, registration forms on the internet and most importantly the collective hatred of the people of one country towards another. Like in the case of India-Pakistan.

As I mentioned in the case of religion, at heart I have only 1 religion, I am a human. Similarly, my nationality too is limited to forms. At heart, I am just a human, I am a citizen of this world. While people are dreaming of breaking this country into smaller parts-into a greater number of states, or are fighting for pieces of land India-Pakistan, India-China, India-Bangladesh, just like so many other countries around the world are, I dream of USIS.

USIS stands for the United States of the Indian Sub-Continent, something on the lines of the European Union. And, this is to start with. One day we may have another USA - United States of Asia. Or well, a USE - United States of Earth. Or, if I am not going too far, UPA - United Planets Alive - comprising of all planets across all universes with life on them.

My last statement, I am sure, would bring a smile on the faces of Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi - the leaders of UPA, United Progressive Alliance. Let me make it clear I'm not supporting them, the acronym came up just incidentally.

A dreamer I have been, a dreamer I am, and a dreamer I shall remain. Dreaming of the day when hatred, at-least on this planet, shall come to an end. Hatred towards living beings belonging to other teams, castes, creeds, genders(taking in count the 3rd gender), states, cities, countries, continents, species, whatever...
