The Immortals of Meluha by Amish Tripathi

I just completed reading this wonderful book.

The Immortals of Meluha is a fiction by Amish Tripathi. This book is first of the Trilogy on Lord Shiva, a fierce warrior, a passionate lover, an accomplished dancer and a wise philosopher. This is an interesting adaptation of great Indian mythology from human perspective i.e. The simple man whose karma recast him as our Mahadev, the God of Gods.

Though it’s a fiction, you might believe in it, the way author explains the concept behind Somras, origin of ‘OM’, invention of ‘Trishul’, ‘Har Har Mahadev’ and so on. Also it will impart you some knowledge on Indus valley civilisation, Sapt Sindhu, Suryavanshis, Chandravanshis, ancient caste system and so on.

A web presence for this trilogy can be found here.

Check out a wonderful video teaser here:

It’s a believable realistic approach, An intelligent approach to serve mythology which is digestible. A wonderful read. And yeah I must say, Don’t read it for mythology, read it for entertainment and you will love mythology.

Now I am eagerly awaiting for second installment of this trilogy to meet Nagas and to learn their secrets

Keeping footer always at the Bottom of the Page

Deep C — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 16:12:23 +0000

In a recent website work I had to keep footer always at the bottom regardless of the content. If there is no content or very less content then footer use to come up instead of sticking at bottom of the page. Here is the CSS solution I found for the same:

Lets say the page structure is something like this:


TITLE

 HEADER
 CONTENT
 FOOTER

Then we just need to use the following CSS code for footer which we need to keep in head section or some CSS file which will linked in head section:

and we are done. Just test in any browser

This can be quite easily done without using any CSS if we are using

tag with height attribute instead of

tag. for e.g.


TITLE

HEADER

CONTENT

FOOTER

Here table height is set to 100% to use whole page and valign is used for vertical alignment of . height attribute can be avoided using style element.

This will work fantastic but might fail in W3C validation as height attribute is no more supported so better use the solution with

tag with CSS.

Note: I tested this in Chrome browser only.

Have Fun
