I couldn’t resist myself from writing about the blog blockade. I am bit late in posting this.I cudn't make out last wk due to my excessive job resposibilities.Initially, I was able to access my blog and others blog. I thought the ban might not be on blogspot. I wasn’t so aware what’s happening, why is there so hue and cry against the government, what are Indian bloggers demanding to?? I had so many interrogations in my mind cos I was not getting time to read the newspaper due to my busy schedule from last few days. My job responsibilities are increasing day by day. Everybody needs to get his/her self-interest fulfilled. I wasn’t getting time to do blogging. From last two days, I have re-scheduled everything and have been experimenting with new schedule. But these two days have really made me sick. I am shocked to see the irrationality of our government, which keep continuing their ridiculous thinking. Is this the government, which is dreaming of crossing every hurdle to make an India a developed country?? This is the government which do not want to leave any stone unturned to see the developed picture of India whether in WTO, or in accusing Pakistan, or competing with China, or amazing the world with its limitless talent in software or computer.
Sometimes, all such expectations seem to be shattered. Sometimes, it questions me whether all such efforts of the government do really possess any substance, do the government really take care of the expectations of the people?? There are lots of interrogations. This is ridiculous when I have come to know that the government has banned somewhere more than 15 sites. The step has been taken following the last week’s Mumbai blast. The restrictions that have been made up by the government have been echoed with the views that the freedom of online information may be a possible threat to their security. Has the govt ever thought how one’s blog may be threat to their security or how can it be used by the terrorists?? Blog is just sharing your personal views on anything. This thing can be your personal life, your office life, your passion towards the sports, and your views on any happening. How can any blogger do harm to the Indian government?? There are so many sources in the Internet, which can be used by anyone anytime. Bloggers are affected. But so are ordinary netizens who like the conversations that many blogs and homepages enable; their freedom of speech has been abruptly curtailed.
India, the world's largest democracy, has generally eschewed efforts to block citizens from obtaining information or from expressing their views. Government has really gone crazy.
Instead I believe the govt should think rationale and sensible in this case. The dreams wont take you to heights until and unless you will start thinking in the right path.I don’t understand if the access to the blogs would serve the purpose.
I am able to post my articles through pkblogs.com.Thanks to pkblogs.com for such a great co-operation. At least I am able to put my points across. I have come to know that government has lifted the ban. Still, I am unable to access the blog. If the government has lifted the ban, I don’t know. Yep, if it is true, then it’s good. The government has acted sensibility at the last. And if not, then I pity on our government, which is derogating its value in view of all of the bloggers of India.
May God bless the developing India!!

Don’t give in to terror
On Tuesday, i.e., on 11th July 06 the city Mumbai has become a victim of terrorism. The terrorists are back on the track to shiver the shrill and speed of this modern world. The terrorists who planned Tuesday outrage obviously planned to cause the maximum possible loss of life. The local trains, which have been the most used transport of Mumbai junta, are jam-packed at this time of the day. It was, therefore, an act of despicable cruelty to set off synchronized explosions inside local trains at this time. The first blast was at 6:08 p.m followed by six others. The government is yet to identify the perpetrators.
One of the reasons why Jihad group carry out such attacks is, of course, to foment communal tensions. Anyways, the police and the wider intelligence need to step up their surveillance. And once India needs to improve upon the global community of the need to persuade Pakistan to dismantle its infrastructure of terror.
I believe all these perpetrators should be hanged publicly if they caught. I really feel like killing them. Why don't they give a thought that the people whom they are targeting are their brothers and sisters or like them a simple human being?? It is very much clear they do have an absence of fraternity. These terrorists do not believe in any religion neither they are with any religion. They are doing everything on the name of religion. They do not have any purpose except mass killings and to foment communal tensions. They do not understand the word of mouth. They wont understand until the same behaviouir or the same thing will be done with them. So the need of the hour is a quid pro quo.
P.S: May god bless the departed souls!!

Is Mumbai the world's rudest city?
I always distrust the surveys. I never believe in surveys because they never come up with the real picture. It is not the case of one or 2 surveys. Every person does have different perception. So it all depends on an individual how he perceives the surveys. In the same fashion,it all depends whether one gives damn to such surveys or not.
Recently, a survey has tagged Mumbai as the rudest city in the world. The survey has been conducted in the leading cities in 35 countries. The survey states that the culture of helping others, expressing gratitude which helped and taking politely are not part of everyday culture in Mumbai. The survey has been done by the pocket-magazine The Reader's Digest. New York has topped the list. The magazine says that New Yorkers believe in the shortness of life and are more caring. The city New York has trumped the other cities by garnering 80% rating for its kindness and courtesy. The city Sao Paulo has seconded the New York. The survey says in a place like Sau Paulo,even miscreants were found saying 'Thank You'.
I have been to the major metros of India. And i had never expected that Mumbai would get such a status ever. Even the people have never made me think towards this. Thank God,i dont give damn to such surveys. How can a person come to Moombai for a day or two and get into such a ridiculous verdict?? I had never expected that Mumbai manners lead the bottom league in city civility. The survey involved three basic tests — holding the door open for someone right behind you; helping a passers-by pick up a dropped newspaper or pile of documents; thanking shoppers after their retail experience.
Before accepting the verdict,lemme ask some questions from the magazine:
1.On what basis only 35 countries were selected? What were the criterias chosen in this survey? Why not other countries?
2.Why did the magazine select only Mumbai and not any other city of India?
3.How did its research team develop the questions which they considered as an indicator of rudeness?
Do you think this is an accurate finding - can Mumbai be the world's rudest city? Or, do you disagree? Which city is ruder, in your opinion?
