madras bashai

Guys,
For all you chennai folks, here is the day for feeling proud for belting a global identity with our own classic lingo "Madras Bashai". Recently I came to know about this from a friend of mine. I felt very proud at the same little a bit shy to see our form of tamil being labeled as polglot and pun and so on.

Creating an online shop

Creating an online shop


To get all the commercial advantages of the internet, you need to set up a fully-fledged e-commerce site. That is one where online customers can browse stock, select items to fill a shopping basket and then go to a virtual counter to pay for the goods.

The main difference between this and a brochure site that simply displays your products and company information is interactivity. Your customer is entering information and making choices on your website and this necessarily requires a more sophisticated website. There are a number of ways you can get this onto your site.

Unless you’re an internet expert or have a lot of time on your hands, you’re unlikely to design and build your own site. Many ISPs and technology providers have fixed-priced packages that enable you to build and host a website with an online shop containing a set number of products and a payment point.

Examples of such ‘turnkey’ packages are BT Storecentre and Freeserve Marketplace and prices start at around £40 per month (not including payment processing charges which we look at later). The disadvantages are that since you build your website from a template you have very little control over how your entire site looks and also where it is hosted.



If you already have a simple brochure site you can simply add a shopping feature to it using off the shelf e-commerce software costing around £350. When choosing software you should check how well it can be adapted to your existing website colour scheme; whether it has a secure socket layer (SSL), which is the e-commerce standard for protecting credit card details; and the additional features such as calculation of the shipping charge and payment in more than one currency.

There are a lot of e-commerce software manufacturers about but some of the better known are Actinic, Cybershop, Shop@ssitant and Shopcreator. If you buy from an established supplier, you should be able to upgrade the software as new versions are developed.

Although not as restrictive as the turnkey solutions, this software is still based on templates. If you’re really serious about e-commerce and think that the potential benefits would warrant a larger investment, then you may want to have your site developed by a specialist as an integral part of your website design.

“I would always recommend getting somebody in to build the e-commerce into your website. You need it to be easy for you to update it regularly and easy for the customer to use. At the moment, two thirds of online purchases [that are started] are uncompleted, because the shopping basket is complicated to use or because they are worried about security. The website has to look professional to make the customer comfortable with buying,” says business advisor Lyn Burkett.

Tanjore paintings - History

bizz and work

History of Tanjore Painting
Tracing its roots to the historical golden era of the early 18th century, Tanjore artwork is one of the many indigenous art forms for which India is noted. Originating in Tanjore about 300 kms from Chennai( Madras), which was the then capital of the Gupta empire, this form of art developed at the height of cultural evolvement achieved during that period.

An extraordinary visual amalgamation of both art and craft, Tanjore paintings mainly consist of themes on Hindu gods and goddesses. The characteristics of the Tanjore paintings are its brilliant colour schemes, decorative jewellery with stones and cut glasses and its larger-than-life figures. The themes are mostly mythological, with figures of Lord Krishna in various poses and depicting various stages of his life being the most favourite. Today people are experimenting with birds, animals, building structures and other subjects.

Crafted with meticulous care the Thanjavoor (Tanjore) pictures are unique. What sets them apart from Indian paintings in general are the embellishments made over the basic drawings with precious and semi-precious stones as well as the relief work which gives them a three dimensional effect. The pictures are of various sizes, ranging from huge works spanning whole walls to small miniatures no longer than 6-inch square.

The paintings decorate the puja rooms in residences, orcades in major hotels and lobbies in Corporate Offices. They also make nice gifts for Diwali, Weddings and other special occasions.

Tanjore Painting - art of creating it

Art of Creating Tanjore Paintings
These paintings are remarkable in its step-by-step creation from the actual canvas board to the final touches. Adorned with rubies, diamonds and other precious gemstones, and trimmed with gold foil, Tanjore paintings were actually speaking-- treasures. Nowadays, however semi precious stones are used in place of real ones, but the use of gold foil has not altered.

The 'canvas' for a Tanjore painting is usually a plank of wood over which a layer of cloth is pasted. The cloth is coated with lime paste and smoothened by rubbing with a smooth stone till the overlay is smooth, levelled and even. Now, the canvas is ready for painting.

On this canvas, the artist draws a detailed pencil-sketch.

Layers of paste made from glue (obtained from neem trees) and limestone are moulded and applied on the canvas to create a three-dimensional effect in embellishing and ornamentating a theme.

Selected gems of varies hues, are inlaid onto this layer of paste. Gold leaves are affixed on selected areas. The shine and glean on the gold leaves used by the tanjore style paintings, will last forever.

Legislation as well as end customer needs make minimisation of noise levels a compulsory objective in powertrain design. The radiated powertrain noise is determined by performing a full forced response analysis of the powertrain over the complete operating speed range. LMS Sysnoise is used to determine radiated noise levels using ATV (Acoustic Transfer Vectors).
