Ban...Why? What?

Been visiting the list of the Unholy....i,e the so called threat to national security blogs.
I got the list from the Blogger Collective Group

14. http://bloodroyaltriped.com
15. http://imagesearch.yahoo.com
16. http://imamali8.com
17. http://rahulyadav.com

I checked out the blogspot pages...
What I saw...

Princess Kimberley

Absolutely Nothing in here...Apart from the heading Princess Kimberley and a name Tony...
May be this is code...very suspicious
Blogger shows an unexpected error when the profile link is clicked...

Pajama Editors

A very weird blog...Nothing anti Indian as far as I saw...Anti leftism is there...
Could it be a secret code? Could be...some of the stuff can be deconstructed to mean terrorism...

Exposing the left

This one seems credible to be frank. I mean not objectionable. A sort of news blog to be frank...
One reference to India...‘‘At least 131 killed in India train bombings: More humanitarian acts from the ‘Religion of Peace’.’’

Sarcasm at its best!
Terrorism? No way!
And they have acknowledged the ban and posted on it too.
Check the article in Indian Express about this.
If bans are placed on this...then every blogger who writes with sarcasm and acid have stuff to worry about.

Common Folk Common Sense

This is very weird. A chinese or japanse blog. Can't say whether this is terrorism or anti India...

These are things I saw first hand. We can interpret anything and apply deconstruction to get any answer. But a ban has to be credible. Even if this is a temporary blackout...

The questions are why this ban?
Even if Government meant these 4, we have the right to know the reason.
And for what was this ban?
To block terrorists?
Guffaw! Anyone with a slight ability to Google Search can circumvent this easily...Just to irritate the public...That is all that was accomplished...And oh yeah reduce my mighty hit rate! :P

Sigh!

Why is the beer bottle so slender? I think its a deconstruction of the fact that you get a pot belly after a few beers over a period of time. Ah well, I should be taking a few sit ups! Ciao. P.S: I should be remembering the following cartoon before I start a fight with someone. Ciao again. (toon courtesy: xkcd )

Get ready for Shyamaprasad's Rithu

His new film, Rithu (Seasons), is a buddy tale that blooms in the changing social and emotional landscape of a small south Indian town. Three childhood friends, who grew up in the same neighborhood and went to same school and college, weave up their dreams about life together. Sarat, Varsha, and Sunny were inseparable in their love, bonding, and innocence. Sarat and Varsha grew fond of each other, in a more internal and less physical manner. Sunny is more like a brother to Sarat. To raise money to achieve their dreams, Sarat leaves for California to live and work. The other two take up jobs in Bangalore. Three years later, they return to the throes of their changing hometown. After an emotional reunion and a sweet build-up of hopes, each finds that beneath their camaraderie, they had actually outgrown their old selves.  via movies.rediff.com My cousin is working on the post production of this movie and he is raving about it. His ravings and my tastes sometimes co...

Amused

Just went through the movie Shatranj Ke Khiladi ( Satyajit Ray ) came upon the following dialogue. Very Amusing and Educational to say the least! :-P Some British Officer: Also dresses up like a Hindu God, I'm told. His Junior: Yes, sir. He also composes his own operas. SBO: Doesn't leave him much time for his concubines......not to speak of the affairs of state. Does he really have 400 concubines? HJ: I believe that's the count, sir. SBO: And 29 muta wives. What the hell are muta wives? HJ: Muta wives, sir. SBO: That's temporary wives. HJ: Temporary wives. - Yes, sir. A muta marriage can last for 3 days, 3 months or 3 years. Muta is an Arabic word. SBO: -And it means temporary. HJ: No, sir. SBO: - No? HJ: It means, enjoyment, sir. SBO: Oh! Oh, yes. I see. Most instructive. Powered by ScribeFire .
