As I had mentioned earlier, there were lot of things going to happen on this day.

First thing first! Next is a bit coded stuff…I got the stamp finally. This time it was a nice guy and I hadn’t to chatter a lot. He really understood the requirement and assured me about fulfilling it. Last time, the lady with whom I met, was missing. Although I was already warned at that time after going through lot of written stuff that I should encounter a foreigner lady in the room and also people in front of me hesitated to go to her, I had bravely proceeded and the results reflected in next 2 days! This time, I was precautious about the person and luckily, I met a nice guy on window 15 (or 14??? anyway they both relate to one of my lucky numbers ) and hence I got what I needed. I was happy at EOD

Next thing was CE Diwali celebration…yuppie, after couple of months, I was becoming part of CE celebration since I missed some of them recently. It was outside Gurgaon at Ashoka Avenue, Chattarpur.

Although it sounds funny and amusing at times to ponder about personal musing on this blog but then it is my personal blog and there are so many categories to browse from, for people with different tastes and this is one of the reasons why I switched from Blogger, so I feel like writing stuff I like to blabber about .

As soon as I arrived back at CE, I was welcomed by same old hubbies just getting ready to launch for destination…this time, it was planned to be on bikes and after long time (after IIPM one), I was going on a long drrrrive . So there was no question about NO. Got ready at home and then vrrrromed on bikes over National Highway 8 (Rashtriya Rajpath Pradhikaran Nigam – as is called in Hindi) and then on Mehraulli-Gurgaon road. It was excitement and fun all the way, driving through the traffic of Gurgaon and finding out the way in outskirts. This time, it was far ahead of IIPM on the same road. After driving for about 30–35 minutes, we were at Ashoka Farms. Have I told you that their was a dress code for evening…it was a bit out of guess work and so I will not mention here. Better you conjecture it from photos. Everyone was not looking less than the so called high-end personalities, shining and gleaming all the way.

Yati – the chhhhhhoooo cuuuuuuuute daughter of Sid was also there singing all the way

After usual chattering and meeting people, it was DJ and CE people went crazy as always – I feel proud of being part of such crowd. It makes me remember college days – our get togethers aren’t less than those. It was first dress-code party that I was attending and I was awestruck for long time to see the people in variety of clothes of same class! Teji was the best dressed guy, if I am asked to vote for.

Photo sharing website - Flickr has added support for recently launched Blogger Beta.

Now those addicted to blogging photos from flickr to blogger are going to love Flickr for one more reason.

I was trying to open Blogger.com at this time and it seems that it is either hacked or going under maintainance. Nothing is looking organized and all those graphics seem to be out of order - both in IE and Firefox.

Here are the screen shots -

Update (28/07/2006) - After a complete one day’s disfunction, blogger is up today -

Indian Blogosphere is filled with the posts about blogs being blocked in India.

Some are linking it with Mumbai Blasts saying that Govt might have taken decision to block the blogs as it is believed that terrorist orgs like SIMI which were main engines behind recent Mumbai Bomb Blasts have been using blogs as powerful tool for their activities.
There are people who are defending above facts reciting their ISPs as VSNL/BSNL which would had been the first to block but still they are allowing the access to different Blogger as well as Blogger blogs. Our ISP - Sify doesn’t seem to be blocking any blogs as I tried to open some blogs from my feeds.
And then there is a group which thinks that this can be decision of a particular heard of ISPs.

If your ISP is blocking access to blogs, you can try too access them using www.pkblogs.com…perhaps the service came into existence during days of blogs being blocked in Pak.

Deprived Indian bloggers are going for filing RTIs as is being reported in blogs.

In my view, it is an activity deserving criticism as in a country where every citizen has right of freedom of speech, one cannot be blocked just because of the reason that there is threat to the country bcoz of very small number of junk blogs. This activity shows the inability of the authorities to detect the intruding/offensive blogs and hence, not their power to protect their people.

You can find the complete story and latest updates at following posts -

Blogspot.com Blocked In India By Some ISPs

What is Up with Blogspot (Blogger) Sites in India?

Blogger blocked by some ISPs in India?
Update (20/07/2006): Here is the official release of websites banned by Indian Govt. This paper as it appears to be official list from Indian Govt, lists 17 websites which are asked by Gove to be blocked!

And these have become popular within one night.

I tried to open these websites. My ISP is Sify and as my comments goes for a blog -

Right now, out of these 17, only one websites seems to be blocked - http://www.hinduunity.org/

Whereas following websites are shown as URL Not found -
http://prinesskimberly.blogspot.com/
http://merrimusings.typepad.com/
http://hinduhumanrights.org/hindufocus.html

Following domains are shown as not registered -
http://nndh.com/
http://dalitstan.com/
http://imamali8.com/
http://bloodroyaltriped.com/

Rest 9 websites are opening fine. Donno, from where the hell govt got idea of blocking http://rahulyadav.com/ as it is someone’s personal website…with nothing to do with terrorism (perhaps bcoz his links section contains links to Bharatiya Janata Party, Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Hindu Vivek Kendra - BIG rivals of current congress govt. I pity on the govt’s ignorance ). http://commonfolkcommonsense.blogspot.com/ contains some chinese looking text…any decrypter?

And many of these sites which are opening but mentioned under blocked list are taking full opportuninty to advertise themselves with BIG LETTERS written over their sites as - BANNED IN INDIA!
