iFaqeer

AvatarTaking the guise of the poor, the dervishes, we, O Ghalib,
Watch the spectacle of the blessed; of power and pelf
—Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib

بنا کر فقیروں کا ہم بھیس غالِب
تماشأے اہلِ کرم دیکھتے ہیں

banaa kar faqeeroN ka hum bhais Ghalib
thamaasha-e-ehl-e-karam dhaikthay haiN

Now you can blog in Hindi--without typing in Hindi!

Being one of the folks that's pushed the use of, and blogging in the Urdu script on the Internet, I am still confused about the display the Devnagri script for Hindi. It seems that the situation is more complicated than we have for Urdu, where the existence of UTF-8 support on Windows, the Mac OS, etc. makes it possible to view Urdu text as long as it's done in that coding scheme.

Anyways, here's some news that might help bloggers and others--from the Blogspot blog, so to speak:

If anyone can explain the situation in terms of Hindi online, please do drop me a line.
