Brief Absence

Been only 10 days, but seems like it's been ages since I blogged :-p
These past 10 days have been quite hectic..suddenly loads of high priority bugs to fix, having to look into other peoples' issues, the usual round of meetings!! Also, had cousins visiting, which meant most of the evenings were busy eating out at good restaurants and for once not having to swipe the card...had uncle to take care of that :-D

And yeah, in between some smart asses in the GoI decided that some blog sites should be blocked and the even smarter asses in the respective ISPs went ahead and blocked the entire website!! So much for democracy and freedom of speech and expression!! It seems when this happened, India joined the elite group of countries like China, Pakistan, Saudi (and 1 more random country I dont recollect!) which censor the Internet!!! What a great club to join!!

Also my friends have been debating about the bomb blasts and the subsquent (and expected) inaction by the GoI..for some strange reason, I have been a passive participant in the whole argument! But has been very good to read and have a feeling, like most such arguments/discussions I have seen/participated in the past, this one will also come to nought, with people just indulging in "mental masturbation"!! (There I finally got a chance to use that term, thanks to chin bhai :-D)

Anyways, hope to be more regular now...probably will continue with the good old days series:-)
