"The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax-- Of cabbages--and kings-- And why the sea is boiling hot--And whether pigs have wings."

Welcome to 400ml. And welcome to my world. Welcome to India and all about this Indian. I began this blog as a place to rave and rant. Somewhere along the way I made some friends, who taught me that I can use it for something better, something less selfish. So here I am, hoping you leave here with a bit more than you came here with.

Mounting frustration

Can't access blogger. Feeling dizzy and lifeless. No Thorn-tree, no Again, no Robert, no Nemo, no Brian. I can't reach my friends. The government has really fucked up this time. This is ridiculous. Whether Blogger has been blocked accidently or deliberately, I can't care less - all I know is that I can't reach you guys, I can't read you guys -and that just won't do. Waaaaah.

I know I should be happy blogdrive is alright- but whats the use. What's the use!! Lemme just go see what the other have to say about this. The ones who haven't been blocked - accidently or deliberately. Bloody shit.

Over the weekend I thought the problem was with my flakey connection at home, but then when I read the paper today and realized that its all a part of a bigger problem I was aghast. Following up the news on the net and seeing the devastating effect is tragic, Sepia Mutiny is right -the terrorists have won. And to think that I just wasted the weekend partying while the Govt successfully murdered the Indian blogdom, just silenced the one true free speech medium. The most free and easily accessble medium - the one way to be vocal about your thoughts.

Yea well -so I reacted real slow this time - feels like shit. Feel betrayed.

Barnita,
I've been meaning to write ever since I heard about Mumbai. It is truly a fucked up world we are living in. I was glad to check up on you after the bombing and hear you were alright though. I must say, it is a wierd thing to hear about a bombing in a city half way around the world and come to the realization 'Did they say Mumbai? I know somebody in Mumbai'

The important thing to everyone in our social circles of course, is that you are safe, at least, safe as you can be given the current situation. I'd like to say you are in my prayers, but of course you know I don't make such things. Probably what started all the violence in the first place. Religion is such an abomination against humanity.

Anyhow, sorry to be chiming in just to lend sympathy to a terrible situation. I wish it could be more of a social call but I have been asshole deep in work and researching some unusual connections. I'm thinking about writing a book, so I'm just trying desperately not to get too dragged into world politics right now.

Love to hear back from you one of these days when you have time.

The govt ows us an explanation as to why this happened and whoever's stupidity(ISP)it is, steps should be taken to see to it that it does not recur.

sorry, barnita, to be so late - but you know i try to reply to any comment on my blog...

and spare time and a "patient" mannnning (and the apologies to the ones he offended) are a little time consuming;-)

but did i understand you right? Your government denied/denies you (and others) access to the blogdom? All in the name of "terrorism"??
