Chilligavva

The whole of last week I was amused to see Bill Gates and Seinfeld share their lives with common folk on TV. Then via stuff.co.nz I came to know that

After a long long time, I ended up developing a blogger template for my friend Surya Prakash. He has an excellent blog going, with some profound posts. So I decided to give his blog a much needed rehaul.  After all, what are friends for?

Pic Courtesy:TIO I have heard reports, seen documentaries and tried to place myself in other people's shoes, but always left with a feeling that my emotions were secondhand, and therefore of no account when compared to the loss suffered by the families directly affected. 

Simply put, this function displays the total comments in your blog in words instead of a number. All you have to do is to copy the funtion below into your functions.php file.

This morning, I recieved a google alert in my mail box from designshack. I was praying, with bated breath, and wonder of wonders, the design for chilligavva blog had made it to the site... My joy knew no bounds...

Last year I wrote a very detailed post on Vinayaka Chavithi. This year all of us went to the Omaha Ganesha Temple. The crowd was not heavy, and the rituals not as grand as I thought it would be, which was a disappointment. A enthusiastic devotee shoved hymn copies of "Om Jai Jagdish" in Hindi. Most of the crowd knew the tune, but didnt know the lyrics, and generally hummed along [Clear indication of south indian crowd]. The said same lady, later on belted out "Gajana Nayutam" in carnatic style, which was good.
