Well if the topic didnt ring any bell then you might want to take a look here. Well the site seems down to me as of now but I am going to tell you what it is anyways. Well Its one of India’s biggest bloggers meet ever organised. I am sad that I came to know about it from newspaper rather directly from net. Well as it has been in India chennai has the highest number of bloggers. Many of them of them have come together to organise this event. The event is supposed to be gathering of many famous bloggers of chennai. Kiruba Shankar is also organizing this meet. Sorry for my ignorance but I never knew who was Chennai’s most popular blogger and it seems Kiruba Shankar is the guy. They seem to have great plans for this meet including making Robert Scoble attend it or he is probably going to attend it. IT doesnt seem to be like a any normal meet where you go and drink, eat and have fun. They seem to hold workshops and make it a bit more useful meet. They want all the bloggers to share whatever they have learnt from blogging and share their ideas. If I have read the newspaper right, it seems “Harvard University” is supporting it through their “Global Voices Online“. It seems from the news article that the plan has been well layout. I wait to see what it brings and how many people will join it.
Before I forget the Blogcamp is supposed to be held on September 9th and 10th

Something that I had feared the day I had started blogging. I was always afraid that the Indian Goverment might take such steps. The goverment had ordered the Indian ISPs to ban 12 blogspot blogs as they were into terrorism and stuff. But our Indian ISPs are too lazy to even do one thing right, they outrightly banned all the blogger blogs resulting in many of our Indian blogspot bloggers not able to post there and they issued and idiotic statement to defend themselves.
Officials defended the decision saying, “We would like those people to come forward who access these (the 12) radical websites and please explain to us what are they missing from their lives in the absence of these sites.”
Read that whole article here.
What were they thinking when they issued such a statement, they don’t even know that people are not able to access there own blogs. Who cares for the 12 sites now because of the goverment’s decision all the indian bloggers of blogspot are not able to view their blogs.

Well this is a follow-up post to one of my older posts. I saw in newspaper last week that the ban on the movie “Da Vinci Code” was lifted by the Court. The twist in the story is that they have fined the police for postponing the screening of the movie. The court had said that the police had not followed one of the basic principlesof an democratic country which was right to express oneself. Court has given strict warning to police for not repeating such a thing again as the reasons given by police personnels were not satisfactory. The court had said if they feared violence then they should be prepared for it rather than postponing the screening of the movie.
Atleast I am happy that atlast it will be screened here I look forward to watch the movie in theatre and I believe in the court and democratic goverment of India now
