Hindi Blogging and the Webring

Today morning I was looking for new Hindi fonts. I like Susha, it is really easy to use but there are some signs like the "half R" that I can't seem to get. So I was looking for new fonts and discovered a group called webrings, where they have list of blogs in Hindi. Really great. Result, I have started even a Hindi blog on Kalpana - Jo Na Keh Sake.

I am still without a good Hindi font. Perhaps the problem is with my Italian keyboard and probably people working on Hindi fonts make them for English keyboards. Since keyboards don't cost much and next week I am going to be in London, so I will see if I can find a new English keyboard to bring home and then try it for writing in Hindi.

Took some pictures of my son and our dog Brando today. They have come out really nice. One of those pictures is presented below. Having a digital camera is so liberating!

PS: Over the past few years, Hindi blogging has been a wonderful adventure, I have made many friends and we are a group where people help each other. A friend has given me a programme called Takhti, which makes Hindi typing in Unicode font so much easier. Another friend has taught me some html commands.
