Uonline : What we are working on
we started uonline with the central idea of providing good web design services, at nice costs, and we worked on and off for two years from college, and finally full on since last six months. (with me and shashank still working on parallel activities )
in the last six months we found out these things about web design's current scenario in india :
1. Industry Standards : There are a zillion guys working in this domain, and with no set standards (by standards i mean that there are no classification or grading of companies, or no government watchdog in this industry) getting the price you ask for is difficult, because there is a cheaper guy ready to ruin your client.,
the spectrum varies from top notch companies like this to shit makers/confusing providers like this...
(web design is an amalgamate of creative and professional industry..and plus this industry standard thing creates trouble when a client asks you to deliever prices at par with the industry!)
2. The Consumer is confused : If you are someone who wants to get his/her website made then you most probably will start by looking up what websites are, then you even go as far as learning details about hosting, domains....finally you get confused, and by focussing more on the technicalities....you lose the idea of what you wanted in the first place....
its sad that even when there are zillion web design companies, no one takes pain in educating their customers, sad but true....that is one place where we really want to stand out...(notice : want to..)
3. Pay for the company : no one service provider is focussing one leasing his employee, basically you pay for the copmpany rather than paying for the number of employees who are working on your project, and to be true this number varies a lot....your only point of satisfaction is that a company is working on your project, also if there are small small things you want to change...you are caught...
this is again where we plan to be different.

The Quality of Life for an Adult in India
is bad.
creative workplace is really consuming as work hours vary a lot, there are no weekends, seldom there are sundays.
remaining time is consumed by family (most of us live with family)..someone's brithday, marriage, death, function etc.
so you end up with a headache...
adult=me.

Things Work!
Complaint

| |||||||||||||||
ys.dadwal@nic.inSir,
I am a 22 year old Media Professional who lives in delhi, daily while i commute i experience many problems which i want to send back as feedback but its impossible to write a letter to you everytime, because there is no online feedback system avilable on the traffic police's website.
The give feedback/complaint form does'nt work, plus the design and usability quotient of the website is so bad that its difficult to interact with.
It would be great if
The current website could be improved, so as to match the standards of what a Capital's Traffic Police wehould look like, so that it does'nt falter.
There can be a common complaint point (online) for providing the problems faced during commuting, for example faulty red lights, road complaints, absence of Traffic Police staff.
Regards,
Sumit Kumar

Focus On Your Business
Some days back, we the team at Random Magazine went to Tekriti for their advice on how to improve our website, since the owner of tekriti is our company head's cousin, the advice comes free.
When we started discussing the website this guy told a thing which will stick with me for the rest of my professional life.
he said "Focus on Your business, why do you want to worry about an HTML website...getting tangled in its tech...get a blog type website (CMS) where technical thingy is not your concern"
now if look at it from a broader perspective it means that you should minimise your efforts being put outside your core business, its killer....i.e getting in touch with someone for the specific job, this someone being someone who's core job our something is!

THE PERFORMERS ON LOL NITE
Raghav Mandava started out with working in a sports chanel, he eventually found himself to be a writer (mostly for football) and is also a full time a flair-bartender. He always had a taste for stand up comics amongst which his favorite are Jeff Dunham, Mitch Hedberg and Jerry Sienfeld. Today he is also a stand up comic, and hopes to tickle a funny bone or two (without the doctors hammer of-course)
Sumit is an illustrator and a creative, also a failed enterprenuer, but you can excuse him for that (he's 21) ... he's the Assistant Editor of Random Magazine (uhm uhm ...)......he can be found working on a new idea, everyday..."
Sanjay makes you laugh, muse, ponder, agree,laugh, disagree,laugh, identify... and then of course laugh some more.
'Jat in Mood'
Who am I?
I am Speakeezee ….. a.k.a. Devika Singh Chauhan.
I’m a lawyer, a singer, an orator, a comic, a dreamer, a scribe, a poet, a dog lover, an actress, an activist, a gastronomist, a chef, a dancer, an optimist, a realist, a bookworm, an explorer, a designer, a palmist, a tarot reader, a swimmer, a fighter, a pacifist, a believer, a rationalist, a loyalist, a nomad....a bundle of contradictions; I am a life well lived....
What’s my inspiration?
We all wish to leave this world leaving behind something penultimate, timeless, noteworthy… to reach the end of the road thinking "God, I have done all that I could do, lived all that I could live. I'd like to walk the wild side now; with you." To me that’s a life well lived, a life I would like to live, till the day turns & the moon drops off the edge of the world. I'll do this forever, coz God put me on earth to do a certain number of things; right now, I'm so far back…I will never die!
