When I think of the blog ban, I wonder if we are going back in history. Didn’t somebody who lived as early as the 17th century say: “I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the very end, your right to say it.” By the way, that was Voltaire.
While reading the newspapers today morning I came across an awesomely written article on the blog ban in India. Click Here to read the article written in Indian Express by Saubhik Chakrabarti.

What is the issue all about?
We expect our Government to do a lot of things – But not Ban Blogs. That too Because a Bunch of terrorists exchanged messages on some God forsaken private Blog.

“Amma, why don’t you and sisters come over to Chennai for sometime?”

- Evan Esar (1899 - 1995)
Rekha and I had a fight last evening. Nothing much happened. Just that now I have a deep gash on my left calf muscle and she has three cuts on her right fore-arm. As can be understood from the injuries, Rekha got injured while facing me like a man and I got injured while running away from her.
It all started rather smoothly. It had drizzled and the air was romantic. I started flirting …

Many movies have been directed and many stories written about what can happen if we hear people speak their mind. That is, if besides hearing what people say…we also hear what they want to say but don’t.
Here are some scenarios which could sound funny –
Executive: I will be getting promoted this time…won’t I?
Reporting Manager: Of course, you would be. I have already spoken to the boss.
