This is a newpaper cutting of Divya bhaskar.
The center part of the top of the page is article about us! Oh and in the photo, I’m there too, the only girl!:)
The title in the top-middle says: Online friends of yahoo, belonging to one gruop, made 4 short/documentry films in 12 hours of time!
More things, and translations of the whole news article will be the topic of next post! Kudos to all of us guys!! yaay!!!
Where is the bloddy democracy!?
Where the hell is the freedom of speech!?
If it was because they thought terrorists use blogs to communicate and spread, why don’t they stop emails, and for that matter kill the internet,phones, and even snailmails for that matter. I mean, no communication would surely serve the purpose of not letting any terrorist communicate!! It’s be pretty childish to come down to such level, but after DoT came out with this ban, I’ve started to doubt the responsible people’s IQ levels!
Every technological invention has its advantages, which can be used for good or a bad purpose. And you cant really stop people from using that technology. Its a personal thing, a pure matter of choice, and individually one should be punished for making a wrongful or sinful choice. Why should a whole community suffer from a few bad people’s wrong use of it. Where is our india going if this is what the outcome is after 7/11 mumbai blasts!
I’m so pissed off, and am not going to keep it cool or not talk abt it. Wether if that means DoT have to ban my blog, or put me behind the bars, because I’m going to fight for this till the ban is taken off!! This is totally unacceptable for me, and should be the same for the other indian genuine bloggers who use public blogging sites like typepad and blogger.com
What surprises me more is the dictatorship that they are showing off by simply doing it. Haven’t they ever thought of any consequences? Aren’t they smart enough to see where this ban will lead to? Do they really think indian people will take it lying down??
I mean, this happened the second time in less than a month or two, in my enviornment. First was the ban on the movie “fanna” which was totally childish and for political reasons. I admire Narendra modi for what he’s doing, what he has done so far, And he wasnt even actively involved in banning that movie, still his name was used as such. And unfortunately Fanna was not released in any of the theatres around, which to me, came out like a shock. If it was a public protest, they should have let fanaa release, and let people decide whether they want to watch it or not, and then people could have shown the dislike for Aamir Khan’s statement by not going to watch fanna. But putting a ban and not letting it release, is like a large knife cut on the freedom of the choice for people here.
And this is repeating again, this time with a second controvercial issue, blogging used by terrorist. Its even sounding so funny to me, i cant even imagine being it true. I blog from like 3 yrs now. I have been surfing and bloghopping a lot. And so far, I’ve never seen any terrorist write on a blog about when/where/how he is going to blast such and such place at such and such time. [ infact, if anyone who reads me, has seen someting like it, let me know..I’d love to see that blog] No kidding, but that notion seems so ridiculous to me.
Anyhow, If they think, banning a blog means they can ‘stop’ terrorists communication, then they are not just acting childish, they would prove to be having IQ in negative numbers. Why blogs, I know i sound quite repeatative, but still.. Why?!
*Sighs*. Why none of the DoT people has ever thought of putting a proposal of banning weapon making?!
this is what i wrote a year back.. on 5th june. Guess i’ve not changed much since then!! lol.
Lets get on the light side of the life..
1. She’s crazy enough not to be crazy about silly material expressions of affection. [ well, it gets hard to woe this kind of girl, isn’t it? ]2. She can be the person with whom you can talk about your normal routines instead of romancing all the time. [ hell! I mean, who wants that??!! Someone who can listen and then be critical of your activities and *the way* you do them. ]
3. She doesnt care what you’re dressed in, or where you’re going together. [ To her , dressing up and going to a ballroom dance OR going to a beach to have a round of booze in ‘whatever’ clothes is same! ]
4. She has very short attention span to most of the things in life. [ unfortunately that means no long duration fights are available! but on the positive side, one will have to be constantly active to keep her interested!!! ]
5. She is the perfect counterpart for the male chauvinistic pricks [MCPs]. [ keep guessing how?. ]
SAT : self appreciation time.
Who wouldn’t be? 😀
The arrogant, the aggressive. the one I relate to.
Whatever people has to say about him, I think he did the right thing for his self-respect. And He definitely deserves that award!
After all, when Materazzi ended up provoking him so that he head-butted him, italy already believed that they would loose if Zidane was to stay in the game. That where they did lost in my eyes , where they stoped playing by the rules, and thus zidane ended up not playing by the rules as well. Although we cant say italy has won just because zidane wasn’t tehre, but Materazzi did feel that fear that it might happen, and thus he used his tricks and politics to make Zidane get a red card, which seemed like an easy business, because zidane already have a record of having 14 red cards in his carrier.
Anyhow, everything is said and done now. I couldn’t get to sleep the whole night, talking and chatting with friends, and discussing and head-butting each other as well!! [ i don’t mean it literally, but then again, i did really want to do that after hearing those guys criticize zidane!:)]
Over all, lost three bets. had an interesting night. A lot of emotions were involved.
The football fever in me is over and out for next four years!
And yes, Zidane will be missed dearly.
A Personal message to Zinedine Zidane, if he ever googles his name and reaches this link… the possibility to that is one to million:D …
I Love you Zidane, whatever everyone else says, For me, You’ll always be the most genius player in football history.
PS. Am waiting for Zidane to say something over this issue… http://msn.foxsports.com/soccer/story/5771836
.. my prediction of the day.. … FRANCE will win!! #FIFA
… to think over this random guy over here, who has been on my mind recently, giving me a lot of thoughts, and inspirations to write over…
… May i please introduce you to… LEOPOLD VON SACHER-MASOCH.
As for the ones who do not know him, please Google.
The ones who know, knows WHY i’m mentioning him here!:)
There is a lot to write about, a lot of things happened in last week…
but wil conjure up the main things and click them down…
.. my father went out of country on work purpose, to china. I know how much he hates being away from home for so long, cause he misses the mom-made food. 🙂 Anyhow, he’ll be back after 5th July. Am missing him already.
… my elder sister got engaged, yaaay! no official ceremony as of yet, but soon enough it will happen. Never did i think she will get into arranged marriage. but she has, and i can see she is really reallly happy. Am happy for her too, and SJ (her fiance, We call him SJ as a short of “Sopan Jiju”) is quite cool too! Anyways the good thing is, my path to “barbaadi”[marriage] is now open!:)
… my nearest of all cousins got officially engaged after months of dating and knowing her fiance. The official ceremony was on tuesday.. And we had so much fun there, I mean, except for the crowd, i love everything about traditional ceremonies. But my cousion’s fiance was so pissed off by all this ceremonies and all, that he is saying he wants to have a registered marriage in court and no ceremonies. 🙂 even from what he tells me, he wants to sprint and get married. That made me laugh cause those guys also got engaged arranged.
… day before yesterday it rained like hell. And i was caught in heavy rain, on highway on my two-wheeler. It was a dreadfully amazing feeling to ride in that heavy rain, due to which, nothing was possible to be seen except a few feet away car’s taillight, if there was any. Else it was all dark and we couldnt even see the road. Yeah, one of my cousins was with me too, and she was so afraid the whole time. But all in all, we reached home safely, and it would be a night to remember..
… hmm.. nothing else except those things happened. but then everything else left me with no time to spend otherwise in last week:)
.. yes, my PC is still down, and refusing to give me any back up yet. But am not gonna budge this time, i am going to get all the data back, one or other way! yeah, that’s the spirit!! LOL
.. Now that things are getting back to normal as usual, i kinda miss those hectic schedules somehow.. cause now that they are not here, i end up thinking about things that I’m trying to distract my mind from. Anywyas, whatever that will happen, will happen for a good reason, lets hope things get better soon, for me.. with me.
Ekta.
