Submitted by GAURANGAGG on Wed, 09/09/2015 - 16:17

When you are debugging the CSS, there will be times when you will see "user agent stylesheet".

So what is this "user agent stylesheet"? 

These are the CSS values generated by your Web Browser. Whenever the values of properties are not defined, Web browser tries to define them for you. 

If you don't want the defaults then there are two ways to get rid of them, which are as follows:-

1. Explictly define the values of the propertyies in your CSS StyleSheets. 

2. Try including normalize.css ( Click here to download it ) or reset.css ( Click here to see it ). Reset.css resets everything and you will have to define values of each property. Normalize.css preserve the important ones and is very nicely documented. To understand the difference between these two, Click here.

Following is the list of lessons I have learnt from Age of Empires:

1. Identify critical resources for your organization without which your organization won’t thrive at all.

2. Attack your competitors when you have some viable resources / army / technology which gives your leverage.

3. Have skilled resources at cheapest possible compensation in early stage to grow fast and exponentially.

It's quite depressing to read India Travel stories wherein Travelers suffers due to various reasons. I just read: http://markmanson.net/a-dust-over-india and I really think every Indian should start making experience of tourists a memorable one !
 
If you are someone who is traveling to Gujarat / Rajasthan then write an e-mail to me / fill this form. I will show you around Ahmedabad, Vadodara ( in June / July ) / Rajasthan, Delhi ( August, September , October, November, December ) and all the best possible places around and I will ensure that your visit will be memorable one. 
 
India is a land of diversity wherein you will witness extremes ( extreme poverty to extreme riches, extremely undeveloped place to places full of buildings having marvelous architecture ). To understand India, you will have to experience the parallel worlds. So at times, it may become emotion draining exercise to travel but rest of the times it will be a pleasant experience. 
 
I have been a traveler for years now, exploring different parts of India and understanding different cultures, trying local cuisines and different versions of history behind every single monument I have been to. 
I will be adding some travel stories very soon.
And Yes, contact me if you are traveling to India soon. 
 
 
 
 
 

Tips for Booking Ticks in Indian Railways

Submitted by GAURANGAGG on Sun, 03/22/2015 - 23:36

Traveling in India is an adventure in itself. With abundance of choatic streets in most of the places, even reaching at the stations / getting tickets becomes very challenging.

Following are the learnings from my 30,000 kms long journey across India I did in past a few years.

1. While booking Indian Railway ticket, when it will be a short trip of a day or two and you are booking about 10 days before the travel day, ensure that you check availability of both "To"  & "Return" ticket. Chances are there that you may successfully book the "To" ticket with very a few "waiting number", but what will surprise you is the fact that Return ticket will have very "large waiting number". So you may end up canceling your "To" ticket if the only way you want to travel is through Train and you want to avoid probability game of Tatkaal.

This is an inexhaustive list. Keep on visiting for more tips.
