It is a bit distracting. Somdev grabbed the headlines but all you notice here is that bright orange marquee that leaves your mind confounded. It seems like they have hired a clan of designers who learnt HTML “programming” in the late nineties.

Haha…good one
Soooo right !! India is so full of contradictions !! IT Hubs in several places, making websites, information management systems etc. for companies in a timely manner with constrained budgets to please their “clients”. But when the client is from the government, projects are characterized by delays, budget short fall and we get a dhinchak website to laugh at….
