    dont speak about my template header dude you are usign free templates in your blogs! haha and you didnt even give credits to others what a shame. what a shame that you have 0% design sense. stop using others template and dont claim them as designed by userself that sucks! if you think the header is not good then look at your blog header its the default one.. and another blog templte is stolen one from others.. pls design yourself a blog template and speak of others. FO!

    @Jeff

  22. WOW ! This has got to be THE BEST template ever ! [ this is better than any Wordpress Theme out there , and I have seen each & every one made ] .
    How are you Cheth ? I hope all is great for you . Thank you very much for stopping by my page & commenting on my article about Gopal , he is truly an inspirational creative genius ( as you are also ) . The great irony is : I had bookmarked your site about 2 weeks ago ( I believe I had seen you comment on either Soh Tanaka's site or someone elses , and I followed your link 0 I was totally super-impressed by your page !) , and had intended on doing an article about you - isn't it ironic that you should appear on my page before I appeared on yours ? You are a very - very talented young man Cheth . I know with conviction that the future holds unlimited possibilities for you. Dont be afraid to seize them all - they belong to you ! Carpe Diem ! It is just so funny that you were supposed to be my next article :)

    And you will be :) -
    Be well my dear Cheth , and may fortune smile upon you :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. BTW: Anyone who decides to use this FANTASMAGORIC Template & removes the credit/ backlink , should have all of their fingers stuck into an electrical outlet ( while theyre WET ! ) - If you didnt CREATE the template yourself - then you have NO RIGHT to remove the credit llink . I swear , there should be some kind of tracking system embedded within all templates & if a user removes the credit link - the Template disappears ! :) LOL, I think that would be great !

    ReplyDelete
  24. Thanks for the Great word Mia, I am a friend of Gopal so I happened to read that post and liked the article you had written about India. You having a great sense of writing I must say. Thanks for the sweet words I'm glad you dropped by my blog too :)

    ReplyDelete
  25. sorry dude!


    aree u just got too angry!!!!!

    sorry once again if i have hurted u!!!


    sorry :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. @eVivz

    it takes 2 minutes to drag the widget from right side and put it above the blog post and it can be done easily by anyone!

    FYI ( linking tabs like home , twitter, etc ) it isnt on the left side its on the right side.. change the widget ide and reposition it thats simple child's play.. enjoy the template

  31. You are very welcome young Cheth , I love to write about topics which capture my interest and about individuals who are exemplary and inspiring . You are also an inspiring young man . I only hope I will do you justice in my next article . Now as far as India is concerned : I have been captivated by India's history and her people ever since I was a child . My hero has always been the Great Mahatma , I have been studying Bhagghavaad Ghita now for over 3 decades ( and I am still learning ) ; and I guess one can say I am very much a Buddhist within my spirituality . I have always felt a very close affinity with India , its strange - as if I had lived there during a past life - or maybe : preparing for the next one :) who is to tell ? We shall all see when we cross the portals of that dimension when that day comes :) But for now , let us be joyful and delight within our Productive Dreams of Creation which only go on to beautify & make this world a better place dear Cheth . Again , I thank you & wish you a beautiful & creatively productive day ahead :)

  37. LOL :)) Oh my dear Cheth, I thought you were aware that I was using your FANTABULOUS theme for a while now :) and : NO , I dont want the PSD to alter anything on that awesome theme - for what ? It would be like buying a Picasso and then making alterations on it ! LOL, which is so ridiculous dont u think so ? That theme is so perfectly designed that it requires nothing else other than a users ' title ' ( which is all I have added to it & the little ' copyright ' logo @ the bottom for ' chethstudios ' ) . I believe in the Bhagavaad philosophy : " Everything is good within " As it is-ness " . Why try to fix something which is not broken ? Only a fool would attempt such folly :)) I have something of yours gracing all of my blogs :)) As I have told u in the past : You will one day soon be a very well known Web Designer , and I wouldnt dream of changing or altering anything you have created - for everything is good within it's "As is-ness " :))

    Hugs across the miles - and did I say ' Thank You ' ? :)
