Chilligavva

Most of my readers know that my site ChilliGavva has a currency reference. if you don't, read the colophon in the about page! My good friend Bharath Raganathan is a walking wikipedia on history and trivia on a number of subjects.

Have been very very busy for the last three weeks.  I apologize for the lack of posts and hope to address the same very soon!  Really ! :)

My, this week has been eventful.Two women known to me were hospitalized in the past 10 days. Shirley is my friend Cynthia's mom and Phyllis is my friend Mary's mom. Here is wishing both of them a speedy recovery and good health.Then of course the cyclone hit Burma. My deepest sympathies to the victims and condolences to the bereaved families.

As per usual, I have rehauled the look of chilligavva again. This time its all dark, and very magazine style inspired.

I apologize for some glitches regarding the videos and site rendering in IE7.0 and 6.0 respectively, for the chilligavva jungle theme. I just came to know of it, and am working on it. I use firefox, but test for ie 7.0 and safari. Something crept past my vigilant eyes.. oopsie, sorry!.

Yes! yes! I had the itch again... Decided to make CG a healthy eco green. I like wildflowers, and that has been the inspiration for the floral motif. Nothing like a lil bit of green and black for a crisp presentation and a smattering of mauve for the color interest. Hope you like the design, as much as I do. Go ahead, let me know how you like this one..

I want to once again thank Shinade of Painted Veil (alias Jackie), Kim Barker of Laketrees and Zubli Zainordin of InfoZubliZainordin for their constant support and link love to chilligavva.com.

You are truly special folks and may God Bless ...
