Bansilaal bade thakke hue thhe.
Soche bheeru ke adde mein thoda thharra maar len.
Maarne ke toh maar liya, ek seesa aur apni dhoti mein khos vo baahar nikle.
Baahar unki booghie khadi thi. Aur saath mein bhainsa.

Ab bansilaal apne bhainse se pyaar bada karte thhe. Bole le pee tu bhi.
Aur pilay diye poora seesa.

Boogie mein baithhe hanke … hurrrrr …chal re …

Bhainsa chala mast.

Bajoo mein aaya boomba.

Aur bhainsa samet booghie samaay gayee boombha mein.

Toh ye hai kahaani Booghie, Bhainsa aur Boomba ki.

p.s. booghie == a bhains driven cart
p.a.s. boomba == an irrigation canal

Adobe has released Buzzword. Looks very nice, have to explore it more. What struck me was the use of an image in place of an icon. Gandhiji’s picture has been used for the image icon.

No wonder though, because he is the ICON and now we have proof that the world thinks so.

Book covers are my second most favorite art meets commerce products. Next only to album covers. If you want to while a small amount of time, and there is a book shop nearby go and browse. If you are a book loving person so much the better, but even if you are just an art or a design lover, go look at the covers.

A cover gives the book a small 5-10 second period to entice the readner’s curiousity. Once the reader picks up the book, then the onus of convincing the reader to buy the book goes to blurbs (by famous authors, newspapers etc), forward, preface, etc.
Anyway the book covers down below are vying for the best cover 2007. There are a lot more at The book design review page. You may want to go there and vote :).
