I was seriously irked by this Times of India article.
Can we ban youtube?. Yes we can if we want to return back to the Stone Age. Surely we ban youtube then blogs and then even chat just because some person posted a video or commented on a blog about a great Indian personality. And yes as we return to the stone age we will be devoid of any competition. We wont be compared to China,Brazil etc anywhere.
Surprisingly enough this news only appeared on the headlines of the TOI and i could not locate it in any other newspaper.
The govt needs to focus more on healthcare,infrastructure,education and not stiffling each individuals right of expression. Banning the offensive video in question would serve the purpose.
Surely there will sites like pkblogs for videos or if there arent any they will surely mushroom as a result of the ban.

New year and a post finally
Happy New Year.
A day to make new resolutions (so they say) -which will not be achieved even in 365 days and probably will be pushed as next years resolutions. Why do we require the 1st day of the new year for making resolutions?. If one really wants to achieve anything it can be decided upon anyday.
So be it, each one has his/her own ways.
After saying all this the first thought that came to my mind in the morning was to look for a suitable to-do list preferably online. There are many such sites on the web. This review helped me to choose one from the 25 reviewed. So I have a list at backpackit.
I had an idea that I post in my blog everyday--which could include (as I am lazy ) just a simple link, or just a sentence or two about life or my rants and ramblings on life or a full bodied post which makes my point through. This would make 365 posts for the year and maybe my blog would atleast have some ranking on technorati, maybe the most regularly updated blog (with crap).
Ha Ha, Here I am, after a week into the new year, too lazy to just post a link also which is just a copy and paste operation and does not involve any key punch operations to hurt my fingers.
So the first lazy links,news,views and questions
Who or What is a dorkbot? I came across this term in article in Wired which lists top 10 tech towns.
In simple terms dorkbot refers to a group of affiliated organizations that sponsor meetings of artists,engineers and designers who work in the field of Electronic Art.
In the news
The gruesome Noida killings rock the news since last week. I am surprised as to why the proceedings to identify what has exactly happened and who is to be blamed is taking such along time. This episode is in the news for the past 15 days and there has been no conviction against the culprits. This is Incredible India for you.
The Chief Ministers brother Shivpal Yadav quotes these killing of children as
"Choti moti ghatna". This is sheer disgrace. Tomorrow if the ministers kith and kin are kidnapped there will be no inquiries and the culprits traced and punished immediately.
This is again the same incredible india.
