    Damn cool verse. I liked the bhasha hindi ho angrezi ho ya greek part best. So now am off to take a crash course in Greek for my post to the mela!

    Cheers!

    Is a greek post an automatic success for lack of understanding by anyone else, much like Yazad’s posts are?

  3. Debashish on December 5th, 2003 at 11:37 am:

    Well, that was greek to me :)

    For those who are wondering what Amit wrote in that cryptic language (Hindi Unicode), here is the unabridged text: “Bhaisahab, Jawab Nahin!, Maan gaye aapki kalaakari ko!, Namashkaar.” Thanks Amit!

    यह �पा �्य�� नह��?
    भा� साहब, �वाब नह��! मान �ए �प�� �ला�ार� ��!
    नमस्�ार।

    �स बार त� �प �या। �माल ह�। पर view->encoding->utf-8 �रना ह��ा।

  16. Debashish on December 12th, 2003 at 7:07 am:

    The encoding is set that way Alok, dunno why the text is still not visible! If you see the source of this pop-up page you will see that even the page is UTF-8 encoded.

  17. आलोक कुमार on December 16th, 2003 at 1:16 pm:

    Amit’s original post was all numbers, because, perhaps, html syntax is disabled in this box. So those numbers never got converted to the characters.

    When I do a view source by right click in mozilla, the view source page is displayed by default in iso-8859-1. What controls that behavior?

  18. आलोक कुमार on December 16th, 2003 at 1:24 pm:

    Sorry for spamming, but now I see that the hyperlink text in the previous post( the name) displays correctly and would perhaps be displayed correctly in this post as well. So it seems that non – html text poses a problem, which is funny.
