In the last post you got a preview of what we are calling the “Pyaar ki Car” (if any of you can come up with a different name - feel free to send in your suggestions), and this is what it’s looking like right now.
I’m sure some of you are curious as to how the car was made. So here’s a comic book story.
(So all you guys out there who want to pimp up your car - get in touch with us and we will send you to the right people).
And that’s not all, this car will be doing the rounds of Delhi till the 14th of Feb. If you send us a pic of the car (taken on or before 14th Feb), you get a personalised calendar from itasveer.com absolutely free! Ain’t that cool? Just send in the pics to contact[at]itasveer[dot]com with Pyaar ki Car’ in the subject line.
PS: Kaby (Mohit Gupta) is one of our friends who came up with this idea, and has helped us out throughout the process. He is a mechanical engineer, but has recently left the corporate life to pursue his passion - Music. He has even volunteered to drive the car around for the first few days - so women, keep your eyes open and status single - for Mohit might just be round the corner to serenade you.

It’s that mushy time of the year again - Valentine’s day!
We guys won’t say much about our disappointing love lives, but that notwithstanding, we have some great stuff lined up on itasveer.com for all you love birds out there.
Come to think of it, what better way to express your love than a personalised gift? The various moods of a person on a mug, or the best times together on a photo calendar, or perhaps just a huge collage with lots and lots of photos.
For example, this a mug which one of our customers had designed with the Doodlepad.
We also have a special Valentine Gift Hamper this time. You can turn any personalised product order into a hamper and we will ship it with a nice little bag of some beautiful heart shaped handmade chocolates (about 120 g).
So, get started and send your special someone a personalised gift !
Also, enjoy our special discounts! Free Shipping on all orders above Rs. 100; Classic mugs, Two-tone mugs, Large mugs, at Rs. 50 discount and Calendars at 20% off!

Hey everyone. Just saw this gem of an idea on making a very cheap monopod (Thanks labnol.org for bringing it to notice). Well not really a monopod, but a camera stabilizing “jugaad” nevertheless. Check the video
Not sure how effective this is.. will have to try this out! But without a doubt, this poor man’s monopod could save the day when you don’t have one.

We went through a nightmare today morning 11 AM. While deleting a few invalid entries from our data, we accidentally wiped our User table! Yup! clean slate! All our users since we started gone blank!! We take backups of our database three times everyday, and the last backup from 10 AM had data for all but 2 users. We’re back to normal now, but unfortunately we don’t have any data on those two users now. Our apologies to them, hope they read this and come back again :).
Lesson learnt - no matter how much RAID you have, how many MySql slaves you have, always, always back up your DB. We keep backup copies of our DB for 3 times a day for last 7 days, 1 time a week for last 4 weeks, and monthly backups. We don’t have transaction logging for InnoDB turned on though, could that have saved the day in case of such accidental updates? Need to check that.

Hey everyone!
While you guys were busy celebrating Diwali, winters and the festive season in general, we decided to give our dear Doodlepad a mini-facelift, by making the drawing area much bigger.
Now the Doodlepad resizes based on your computer’s resolution. You might not notice the change on low resolutions, but if you are using a higher resolution you will have much larger canvas.
Here’s a two screenshots, on a resolution of 1280 x 1024 (Click on the images to enlarge).
Older version
New version
This works especially well for designing collages where we earlier had a rather tiny design area.
In case you resize your browser window, remember to refresh it, so the the Doodlepad loads in the correct size.
So, design away, and keep the feedback coming.

with a camera ofcourse. 2nd Dec is the date and 7:00 AM early morning is the time, which has been under severe deliberation on the mailing list. Sundays and early mornings don’t go down well with most people :). For more details head to the photowalking blog.

We will be off to our homes for Diwali, so you might find us a little sluggish in replying to your queries till Monday (12th Nov). Ashish who happens to live closest to our office, will be the last man standing for running all our operations (for these three days of course). So we apologise in advance for the slower service you might experience, and we wish everyone a cracker of a Deepawali. Looking forward to seeing your Diwali shots on itasveer soon :)
