I am not married, I am still studying. But I am a literate person; I know who is a wife. Who is a wife? Dictionaries might define the word in many ways. But she the daughter of her father, who had a wife. Why am I writing on this topic? I don’t have wife, but what I hear and see on television is wrong. Literacy is not going to a good university, getting a PhD, but having no knowledge of how to treat people. Burn those degrees if you think that’s literacy, you should specially know how to treat your wife; But why? Not because you are married to her, but because you promised her, you will take good care of her. Be with her when she needs you. You promised you will support her. You promised to make her happy. Not only is her security your concern, but her happiness lies in you.

It is your duty to make her happy, to give her what she wants.

She does not only want you to wake up in the morning, when she gets up before you, makes breakfast for you, then before you come to the table, your newspaper lies there. You eat the breakfast and go to your office. She works all day maintaining the house cleaning. Doing every thing she can. So when you come home you realize she was caring for you. She waits for your call when you were at work thinking about you. How have you been? How was your work? You come home tired; she waits for you, makes tea for you. All she does is tries to make you happy, why can’t you make her happy.

She cries in her heart waiting for you to say you love her. She waits when you will come home and hug her and give her a kiss. She waits for you to take her to a candle light dinner. She waits for you to take her shopping. She waits for you to spend time with her. She waits, you will come home discuss you problems with her. Expressions matter, she loves you that is all I can say. She left her house for you. Now what else can any one say

The most important thing she is always there for you, but do you always stand with her. Neither am I supporting your wife. Nor am I supporting you. But what is a marriage? Have you ever asked your self? Think now before its late, before you shatter her delicate feelings into a million pebbles, tears might flow from here sweet eyes. Her heart might be stabbed with hatred. She might loose all her hopes. Her dreams may scatter.

She is a normal human being as well, she has feelings. Why do you want to break those feelings and torture that human being? Did she do some thing wrong, she cared for you? That was her mistake. She loves you was that her mistake? She wants to be with you. Why? Just ask your self why?

Defining marriage: not a signing on paper, not saying yes I agree to the questions asked on time of marriage. That’s all formality paper work to show the world you two have been married. But what a marriage really is the combination of the heart of the two people who are getting married. I agree to the fact, there can be NO two people who think totally alike. This is where LOVE comes in to action. How? This is the point when each of them makes a sacrifice when needed. It might be leave a habit. Or some thing, going to eat Chinese but wife wants to eat Mexican, why not make her happy and take her to Mexican restaurant.

I have placed a picture on the right, it is a beautiful rose, but how is the rose related to the topic. A rose is a beautiful flower, but it has spikes with it which protects its beauty, keeping it distinct, and unique. You wife is the flower, and you are the spikes. Might seem stupid, or idiotic, but the spikes do protect the flower. Not every one can break the rose and take it away. The flower gives the beauty to the whole plant. Now the plant is the family. So you wife is essentially a very important person who needs expressions, love, care, protection…

Is romance all she wants? Umm, this is hard for me as I am not experienced, any ways personally I think the answer is NO. But why do I think that way? I think she needs care, dedication, devotion, love, appreciation for what she does. But does this mean no romance? No well romance is an essential part of marriage.

Spend time with her, take her at the beach to see the sun set, take some days off go and enjoy at some places. Hang out, relax, and show her you love her. Be with her when she wants you. Indulge into her, love her for what she is; try to get her love by what she is. Take her to shopping, take her to candle light dinners. Love her, be with her. Neither will this ruin your life. But it will increase the love between you two.

Always take your wife shopping, I am not talking because I am still single, but I am thankful to my parents who taught me people should be respected. And the society taught me that wife is also a special person. She will the person because of whom you will get children. Your own children of course, definitely you might be thinking why am I writing or how am I writing this? Well it is obvious. I know how life works, I might be just 20, but I have brain that works. I understand other people, so at the end I solute all the happy marriages and all my wishes are with all the beautiful couples who are still trying to make a happy life….

Which one is the best? No one can argue, every one has his/her own taste. And all the software’s that allows web development have their advantages and disadvantages. So which one to choose? That’s a question that you have to answer. Often professionals recommended trying as many compilers as possible, why? There is a reason for it. They are the experienced gurus, they know what they suggest. But why in web? It’s simple, not all tools work the same way. Yeah we say WYSIWIG (what you see is what you get) but we never want that to be the case. We also want to code.

So there are many in the market. I personally like notepad, Macromedia Dreamweaver, and when the amount of work is less, Front page does the trick. These are the one’s I used; but there are like

So this is just a small list, there are plenty more out there. But which one is the best depends on you, use the on in which you feel comfortable coding or designing. If you would like me to add it to the list, leave it as a comment here, and I will surely add that editor to the list.

Unilever, a famous company for making many things. Their products are used almost in every sector of our life. Let it be cooking, washing, etc. But do they have a good website? Being honest the first thing I noticed, it is good at some places, and at others really looks horrible. It has been neatly arranged, not a fuss any where, apart from the fact unnecessary stuff has been placed on the main page. They can organize their content even more. It’s not sort of professional, it is not aesthetic. No multimedia exists, that’s not an issue that will irritate or ruin the whole website.

I did not like the way the announcement panel was placed, and it was showing only one announcement. The background is not good; it gives the website a weird look. Background is very weird.  A simple gradient would have looked better. The background was not matching at the bottom and the top. It’s a mixture of a pattern, and a gradient. Buttons, act as the link, images or headings can also be used as the links. It’s not bad but it can be better. The hovering is very irrelevant and unaesthetic especially at some places. The hovering tends to cover the image which makes it annoying.

But the good thing was the website was very fast. It tended to load very quickly, and it didn’t consume a lot of my bandwidth.

So in general there are a lot of things they can improve on. So the final scores are:

Organization:              6/10

Navigation:                             7/10

Interface Design:                   3.5/10

Speed:                                     9.5/10

Content Presentation 6/10

Total Score                             6.4/10

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction.

I won’t be going through the whole process that is I won’t explain how I did every thing since this is not a tutorial to make a website. But just a quick over view of how I made the website.

I started of with an A4 sheet right in front, on which I drew the whole interface that was the proposed interface on paper. Designed my logo on rough A4 so I knew what I was going to design and develop. This is one of the most important stages. Why? It’s because this stage actually tells the developers, designers, (i.e. the web team) what to do. And w hat is required at the final stage. Then I continued with what will I be using in the development of my website? By saying this I am referring to the technologies that I will be using. Choose wisely as the choice made now matters a lot. So I decided to use Html for almost every thing and CSS for buttons. I used notepad as my editor for CSS, there are others like Macromedia Dream weaver, etc.  Then for the designing of my logo, I used Adobe Photoshop. After this I designed the rough layout using tables, Front page, and fire fox for checking the interface.  Than I designed the buttons; the theory behind the buttons:

I knew I was going to use CSS for my buttons; I divided my buttons in two parts. One being the menu from where navigation is allowed and the other being all other links in the web page.

Now before starting to code for the web site, I decided for the color theme, that I will be using in my web page. So I decided the following were the RULES I will be using inn the buttons

a:link {}, a:visited {}, a:hover{}, a: active{}

then for the main buttons that  act as the buttons to transfer I made a list, changed it to inline, the list-style-type property to none. So the bullets don’t come up than placed a border on both left and right to give it a button look. I used the same rules as before. But there is variation in the properties that I used.  One important thing I used external style sheet as that saves a lot of code and does not create a lot of fuss. And I used one style sheet for the whole website.

This is it, I am done with the template then I moved to save page as. Since my template will be the same by referring to template I am saying the basic layout will be the same. Only the area of content will vary. Even that wont vary that much. So I started saving my template as other pages changing the title. I made changes as well as I continued to complete my website. When all my pages were done, I came back for hyper linking. I connected the pages. For images I had decided I won’t open them in he same tab/ window. So in the <a href=”xyz/jpeg”>image thumbnail here</a>I included the target=”_blank”, this opens that particular link in a new tab/window.  The code became <a href=”xyz/jpeg” target=”_blank”>image thumbnail here></a>.

I was done with the site; I was consistently checking my site in fire fox. Now was a time to run a quick run. So I TESTED the whole website clicking on links randomly going from one menu to another. After testing the site, I uploaded my site to my server.

So all the best, happy coding.

After a lot of effort on my portfolio, I managed to design a new one, (the reason for not posting).  the link is http://mutedart.zendfree.com

It is raining outside; the weather is very cold perfect for a cup of coffee. As I hear each rain drop touch the ground I feel the zephyr touch my face. But this zephyr is not as soft as her hand. I was looking at the rain, which was kind of strange, rain happens now and then but I was looking at rain for the first time like this. but who knew that I was not lost looking at rain but I was lost in my imagination holding two cups of coffee and waiting in the balcony for her to come up to me and take her cup and enjoy the lovely taste of coffee.

But the coffee tended to cool down I kept waiting but she never showed up.

And tears shed from my eyes. Tears mixed with the rain drops trying to smoothen my feelings but I forgot this was making it harsh on my self. I left a place in my heart that was to her that will remain hers now I have become used to my imaginations betray me. The world sees what I feel y can’t she know what I feel I have missed her I will miss her. But I wondered to my self “she waits for a prince, she deserves a prince and I don’t stand near a prince.

I tend to for get the words in the world are les to describe her beauty she mite b a normal girl to the whole world but definitely she is not a normal girl for me. With grief in my heart sorrows I can’t forget her. I just wait for the day when will we have coffee together “but the question is still unanswered will we ever b together? Can I b her prince? I know the answer is no but y can’t we…..
