Finally… decided to shake off that writer’s block and squeeze some time out of the demands of fatherhood and get back to serious blogging.
Oh Yes ! For those who didn’t know, I was blessed with this beautiful little bundle on the 10th of February, 2008. Life has never been and never will be the same 
The bundle is a “he” – i.e. a son and has been nick-named Adi (which roughly translates to Ancient or The Very First. He’s an absolute delight to be with, though more than a handful, when he realises he’s home alone with me. More on that later…
Other than that Google decided to strip me off my pagerank, which stood last at 5 as I was involved in paid-blogging – a policy that sent up such an uproar all over the blogosphere. Seems like Google decided to take it all out on the smaller sites (mine dropped to ZERO) while just marginally denting the bigger ones. Zero is where it stood for several months – till a couple of weeks back I saw it jumping up to 2. My site’s crawling back into the PR space I guess. Luckily, it didn’t affect my traffic anyhow and although I had stopped blogging altogether, the older content was enough to keep up a steady flow.
In the professional front, my work-load has trippled. Learnt many new tricks (I had long wanted to) – such as developing a complete WordPress theme right from scratch. I picked a template out from the free ones provided by TemplateWorld and got going. The result after 1 week of messing around with the WordPress Codex can be seen here. I’m kinda proud of it and I must say, not bad at all for a weeks work starting from level zero.
Updated a few of my WordPress plug-ins too, namely curreX and LiveSig – making them way cooler and better. Also shifted the plug-in base to the SVN hosted by WordPress.
More later… in the upcoming posts. I’m teeming with ideas and the next few weeks will see plenty of them pouring forth.
Cheers!

Does that risk-taker in you makes its presence felt every so often? Does that involve gambling? Lets face it – all of us would squirm inwardly with pleasure at the prospect of making a quick bundle online. And many of us have tried out their luck sometime or the other. To cut our work short for us, there are millions of

Taking a loan used to be a big issue once upon a time. It meant going through a lot of hassles and making rounds of the bank till the shoe-soles threatened to surrender. I remember, taking a loan was always a last ditch option for people, when we were kids. Once a loan was taken, it would be a cross to bear till it was paid up. That’s what we learnt while growing up.
I was very surprised to learn that taking a loan is not all that difficult any more. In fact, its something that’s become a regular affair these days. People take loans to buy houses and lands. They again take loans keeping their properties as securities at the financial institutions to buy something else. These are called 
Borrowing money has become a lot easier these days and so has the temptation to take a loan for no particular purpose. Most people take paying off loans very seriously. But unfortunately there is a group of people who have made ‘taking a loan’ a sport. They tend to avoid payments by closing accounts and leaving their jobs or cities altogether. They give customers a bad name. The financial institutions too are aware of these kinds of people. They can identify a genuine defaulter who might have missed a payment due to some problem and troublemakers who miss payments cause they do not intend to pay.
While browsing the net I came across this cool site called 
The same discounts will be available for anything we buy for ourselves or for our family and friends. With all the different departments for bridals and designers it wouldn’t be too difficult choosing a gift for anyone else.
