What the hell??

Today the Government blocks Blogspot. Tomorrow, every other Indian will be appalled when he wakes up first thing in the morning and opens Orkut to get a Message "This site is blocked. Sorry, no more donuts for u". After a while, he'll realize that he is not able to send or recieve e-mails.
Soon the government will pass an order to shoot at sight any postman or pigeon carrying a letter.
After all this, everyone will start using the telephone, every person will have atleast 3 mobile phones, one for official purposes, one for chatting, and one for recieving credit card offers. Of course, bosses will have more...some masterplan by the Department of Communications.

As I write this, I am feeling like an idiot because I know none of my friends in India will be able to read this. The crazy government has implemented a crazy rule, and I suggest they rather strengthen their Intelligence and prevent any further attack to the country rather than blocking harmless sites. This is frustrating...
