Change

I've been getting way too many complaints about how my blog is difficult to read because of the font/background contrast thingamajigs..

So, there. This drab no-nonsense template must suffice until one is at leisure to make it a little more pleasing to the eye.

The thesis is all consuming... And frustratingly, a million ideas will want to flower just when I have no time to put them down. But I will be in India soon with more time than I know what to do with. One is of course, in true form, terrified that the minute there is time, the idea tap will clog and the words will dry up.

Uffff!!!!! Aaaargggh!! Ayyoooo! and all that...

Good luck with the thesis. And the idea tap :-). How well I know the mischief of imagination that gets absurdly active just when the exams are round the corner!

@Jaya : Thank You...

It is rather frustrating!

@Potato : Hidey ho there , nice to see ya and all that!

I guess if you use a feed-reader you have been spared the (apparent) agony of my particular notion of 'pretty' . But this minimalism isn't really 'me' either. :P But fear not! Hopefully the next time around, I'll manage something a little less strenuous on the eyes.

I know this falls on deaf/clogged ears. But my conscience insists I say this each time you comment...
Write, man, write! And drop me a line when you do.

The best policy is to leave it unreadable - if the writing's good enough, people will bother to read anyway!

Mercury said...

@aandthirtyeights : Apparently, people did read. But on a couple of occassions people also did grumble.

One wouldn't like to inflict any manner of strain on one's readers. One does like them to keep reading. So one obliged...

Would be a trifle silly to leave it unreadable just for the thrill of knowing that people will still read nevertheless.. don't you think?

Just read corporate grease. Has this situation been resolved? I've seen this happen far too many times with friends and other colleagues - and contrary to what is said, there is no obvious way of dealing with it.

Mercury said...

@Madhumita : Much to my surprise and hers, its definitely lessened in intensity.

Getting herself out of that one-on-one commitment somehow, simply refusing to look up from her work and making some friends in the office seem to have sort of warded him off...

Hoping it stays that way! And yeah, you're right, there is no one way to deal with it, is there?

I think it would still make for a wonderful social experiment.
