    I would be interested to see if they try to bring any legal action on me ;)

    I would be a phenomenon amongst at least 300 million English speaking class in India :)

    Seems a bit boring... I would somehow incorporate a few more images into the posts and design.

    You visited Timesofindia.com site? I got the theme created somewhat similar to that. I am just looking for some images to add.

    The site design is okay (you're going for the newspaper look eh?) I think it could use more color though..

    What's your goal? If you are trying to get tons of readers, you'll want to remove the ads from above the top post. You don't want to require the reader to scroll down to get to the first post, otherwise they'll likely click elsewhere (in blogging, you often have less than 2 seconds to grab a reader's attention ... if the first thing they see is ads, you've likely lost them).

    Ads are pushed further down. But what it looks like reading here - I might remove them from the front page middle column.
