Why? because they have lots of followers or they are are part of big political agenda.and how it feels like to be charged with the charges of abusing Shivaji on internet your cyber cafe will be <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/2095544.cms">damaged</a> or may be jailed.<br />But what if you have not done or said anything against any cult(these political leaders have made those great heroes a cult in India) but just because your ISP has give wrong information to police you are jailed and suffer in inhuman conditions over there for 50 odd days..<br />ask <a href="http://www.ibnlive.com/news/it-engineer-sues-cops-for-wrongly-arresting-him/56430-3.html">Lakshmana Kailash</a> K a software engineer <a href="http://bangalorebuzz.blogspot.com/2007/11/such-is-this-country-that-this-could.html">working in banglore</a> .His alleged crime was posting defamatory photos of Chattrapati Shivaji on the social networking site, <a href="http://www.orkut.com">Orkut</a>. He was arrested on the basis of the Internet Protocol address provided by his Internet service provider, Bharti. As it turned out, the IP address was not his.<br />But this took 50 days to verify that this was not his IP addres but of someone else.. he had to undergo lathi beatings and was made to use one bowl to both eat in and for using as a toilet. He has sent legal notice to his ISP, Principal Secretary (Home) Maharashtra government and the Assistant Commissioner of Police (Financial & Cyber Crime Unit), Pune Police asking for a compensation of Rs. 20Cr.(whoooping large sum of money).<br />What if he was not an educated person the case would have gone unattended by media no would have question police.<br />But why a person is kept locked for 50 days for what crime he has done posting abusive pics of Shivaji , nobody is going to put Mayawati in the jail for abusing Mahatam Gandhi (and we call him nations father). Under Indian constitution you are allowed to express your views until it hurts someone. But the rule is followed for few you can give any fatwa for killing bush , no one will ask you , you can declare prize for killing MF hussain no one will ask you unless you have political support but you say a wrong word against Ambedkar or Shivaji you will be killed mind you. You can debate over them they are always right you cant question over them. In the land of ram where even Sita was put against agni pariksha we cant question over some emperor are they above GOD.<br />and those who support these kinda things are they credible one they are asking for molester to be in any condition (as they seems to be north Indians) and very next day they will take some of them who are not north Indian to CM <a href="http://www.daijiworld.com/news/news_disp.asp?n_id=42441&n_tit=Media+Van+of+IBN7+TV+Channel+Attacked+Allegedly+by+MNS+Workers">ask for their relaxation</a>, as they are son of the soils so they are allowed to do anything they want why not let the investigation go and have all culprits punished.gaganguptahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05077477550461605319noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9348457.post-23679458965797387572007-07-03T04:43:00.000-07:002007-07-03T05:11:23.161-07:00Fight corruption now(http://fightcorruption.wikidot.com/)<span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">This is what the title of the site that i discovered through digg(digg this article</span><a style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);" href="http://digg.com/world_news/Whistle_blower_in_India_uses_a_blog_for_protection"> here</a><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);">).

All his efforts to stop corruption seems to go in vein because no body came to know about it before he lost his life and even when media highlighted his murder it was for some time some hype was created .. inquiries set up.

We forget the things as soon as they are out of headlines and let the corruption.This is time for all of us help support this voice and help him to stop corruption.

However, the administration decided to refuse her the teaching certificate she had earned after discovering a picture on Myspace of Stacey in a pirate hat and drinking from a cup. The caption was "drunken pirate." Better still, Stacey was of legal drinking age when the photo was taken. </span>........ "<br /><br /> and now the site is asking its strong user base which is from all around the colleges of US ...to protest against this illogical system and do same as wat Stacey Synder did.. put ur drunken pics on faccebook , MySpace ..<br /><br /><br />Day after day the fight between SYSTEM(useless and illogical one's only) and ppl is getting hotter and Internet is playing a very major role in this to give a voice to people ...<br /><br />wat comes next i dunno.. but the things are not going to b same as they were.. the world is turning rebellious whether its DRM or college authorities ...<br /><br />original story abut the gal..<br />http://chronicle.com/wiredcampus/index.php?id=2029<br /><br />I wish all of you would support this.. gud luk..<br /><br />#UPDATE<br />To support her better you can mail your views directly to university president: Francine McNairy.

MAY 1May 1 a day that will be remembered in the history of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Internet democracy</span> . This is the day when popular news site digg.com has to put down its services from the fear fear of being sued and shutdown(becoz of MPAA ) and then again need to put on well from the same fear of getting shutdown(becoz its users will run away from it ) .<br /><br />The story start with a hex no.<br /><h2><a href="http://blog.digg.com/?p=74" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Digg This: 09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0">09-f9-11-02-9d-74-e3-5b-d8-41-56-c5-63-56-88-c0</a></h2>this is not a usual no. its the no. which has shacked the roots of million users strong site digg.com .. <br /><br />well its the crack for HD-DVD encryption .. this key has been roaming arnd for a while on net ... almost 3 mnths.. and suddenly it hits the digg's front page . Digg as any other fearful site(they should b) pulls down the the post relating to this and bans(deletes) users who have posted it.<br /><br />Now the battle starts .. diggers mind speak " <span style="font-style: italic;">ur earing thousands of dollers on us and ur trying to stop us .. do hell with u..</span> " diggers unite and start posting more and more stories related to HD-DVD crack.. and making use of there network try to make the posts to hit the digg's front page..<br /><br />digg fight's back it still tries to block the users posting these kinda things .. and uses fliter to stop such kinda content from being posted ..<br /><br />but digger's u cant stop them they keep on posting n postin ...<br /><br />Finally digg.com losses the fight and puts there weapon down ... put the site up taking the risk of being sued .. <a href="http://blog.digg.com/?p=74">http://blog.digg.com/?p=74</a><br /><br />well to show the world diggers have won the battle they make all the front page full of HD-DVD crack related posts ..<br /><br />this seems to b a <span style="font-weight: bold;">ONE TIGHT SLAP</span> in the face of the people who are trying to control the Internet which is suppose to be democratic nature ..<br /><br />digg.com may need to close down its services .. if MPAA takes it to court..<br /><br />But this battle has proved one thing Internet has to be democratic and no one can stop it..<br /><br />The democratic nature of Internet these days is creating a big hype.. currently in my country ( INDIA ) a controversy aroused when govt. tried to put its decision on giving <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Indian_anti-reservation_protests">Quota (Reservation ) </a> in technical institutions to the people of certain CASTE .. they are called OBC here .. in this fight between the students of general category(who don't get reservations ) and govt. the students united and in this Internet has played a major role .. it was only internet which connect students from all over India to unite on one single platform and voice against the govt.<br /><br />The update on the govt. Vs Students battle is students have winning and govt. is loosing against the massive anger against its policies.<br /><br />Internet was developed for Military usage which is not democratic by nature ... and now it is used as the most Democratic tool of the for FREE SPEECH (as u say in America ).. really developers of Internet have never thought they making such a powerful tool which will change the world.gaganguptahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05077477550461605319noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9348457.post-28772215330403464172007-04-18T00:05:00.000-07:002007-08-01T23:58:56.169-07:00A guide to getting Passport in INDIA<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic3IuueqR1AKdmioJgNssHwSbAihix1tMKgm9uNPWSRjfxhxMMN7lfgwgpt2tn1-IRwW_4LK7AH-_OGHJgTnUbAMiGr6KJc_CfWMndgJgdeRIAaxc2882L0UTIX0DrFdNY6gpC/s1600-h/passport.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic3IuueqR1AKdmioJgNssHwSbAihix1tMKgm9uNPWSRjfxhxMMN7lfgwgpt2tn1-IRwW_4LK7AH-_OGHJgTnUbAMiGr6KJc_CfWMndgJgdeRIAaxc2882L0UTIX0DrFdNY6gpC/s400/passport.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5054670604390272338" border="0" /></a><br />Well getting passport in India with all that bureaucratic system is kinda tough.. but after keeping the form filled for two years i have submitted the form very recently to be very specific on 07 Apr 07 (nice date i haven't noticed) ...<br />I faced some troubles ... its really not easy .. well i thought why not keep a record of all the troubles i have faced .. and share it with the world..<br />So the process starts with purchasing Passport Form well the best place to buy it Post Office(Main post office of the city) .. it comes for Rs. 20 .. kinda cheap.. filling the form isn't that tough.. rather the new form is quite easy and very less information needs to be given .. all the irrelevant details have been removed..<br /><br />All the documents you need to attach with it are given in annexure .. well one thing to keep in mind is to have "Emigration Check not required" field chked .. and provide the supported documents .. becoz u will be in great trouble while getting Visa if u haven't checked that field ..<br /><br />If you are submitting form thru the Post office then you will need to submit the fees thru demand draft of Rs. 1000/- in Favor of Passport Officer , (city name where you are applying for lyk Bhopal in my case) .. well get this DD thing in advance becoz i didn't knew i cant submit cash .. so had little trouble..<br /><br />One Very important thing to keep in mind while going submitting form keep a Pen , <span style="font-weight: bold;">Whitener</span>(Most important) , couple of Photographs , several photocopies of documents your submitting , and their originals..<br /><br />Okk so you submit the form .. they will give you a receipt .. keep it with you its very important.. well the one most important thing it has is File no. This no. is used to get the status(online) of you passport application .. u can get the status here <a href="http://164.100.17.25/passmain.php?city=bpl">http://164.100.17.25/passmain.php?city=bpl </a><br /><br />Now again entering the File no. isnt that easy as u might think.. the file no u get will b lyk this BPLW23454507 .. the space given for filling the file no. wont accept all the digits.. it accepts only 1 alphabet and 6 digits.. well then the thing that u have to enter it lyk this "W234545" leave rest of the thing.. the last two digits "07" designate the year in which you have submitted the form ..<br /><br />Its been more then two weeks and i'm still waiting for the Police Verification to be done... well will update you ppl as soon as i get the police verification done..<br /><br />In the mean time you can go <a href="http://passport.gov.in/">here</a> if having quires regarding the

(their ascent of English.. uff.. ).. so how do you know its the R-Day...well let me remind u.. 26th jan is the R-day.. and 15th aug is I-day... its sooo confusing to remember isnt it..cant they do things on d same day...<br /><br />The signs that show its R or I -day..<br /><br />1. U will see tricolor on every vehicle ...two , four.. truck.. tempo.. every one will b having a tricolor..some more enthusiastic put one in front and another one on back side.. and they are temporary for one day .. okk carawala's will carry them for long time.. jst becoz they forget that there is sum thing lyk tricloro flag is in their car..<br /><br />2. U will hear vandematram song all over .. if its the elections time soon.. else.. no forget abut it..<br /><br />3. Kids selling tricolor at every chouraha ... and they will sell those flags on very high price.. after all its the only day for them to earn money ... from those enthusiastic ppl who are trying so hard to prove that they are Indian..<br /><br />4. There will b decorations in your company.. ballons.. posters.. flags on every desk...and jst now i had cake... it was part of celebrations.. .... ooh i forgot to tell u i brought one for my desk too.. and too for jst 20/- Rs.. frm a square near my company..<br /><br />5. U will see all the yahoo status .. muzik status on gTalk .. all patirotic. .. i have kept it indyah.. and made a pic of myself having tricolor in background... and at the end of the day u will receive .lotss msgs and mails for the R-day.. and will read same mail from different ppl.. which are same as they sent last year..<br /><br />6. All the radios in the city will b shouting aloud about r-day... RED FM mumbai an exception.. although.<br /><br />7. All the papers filled with R-day offer .. after all why shopkeepers remain behind in selling the R-day..<br /><br />8.Mall's are decorated .. filled with flags.. its holiday lotss ppl will want to spend money on shopping..<br /><br />9.ur frendz are discussing plans for movies and how to spend this long weekend... very very long weekend..<br /><br />10. there will b address to the nation by president on DD1.. and it will the headline of next day's news paper.. filled with lotss promises.. asking youth to take up.. showing how India has concurred the world...and blah blah..oopss i mean etc etc.<br /><br />... so the R-day ends.. back to wrk.. my US client is waiting for the product.. call centers are back to there English ascent ... kids on chouraha back to there paper selling buziness ... flags back to there place..and mostly lying on road.. who cares for the law.. F**K the law. ..<br /><br />Speech over.... jai hind. ..gaganguptahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05077477550461605319noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9348457.post-1169548191839015702007-01-23T02:20:00.000-08:002007-01-23T02:29:51.840-08:00Jaage hai der tak humme kuch der sone do..The song jaage hai der tak humme kuch der to sone do.....from film GURU .. its the perfect song for me .. which i wanna to sing every morning i want to sing.. becoz i really hate waking up early ... i dont know why that song is in the movie.. for motivating to to dream .. but my interpretation this song inspires u to sleep.. till u have.. use every second.. keep on checking the clock until it shows exactly 8:30(in my case .. its so so early.. ) ...<br /><br />thori si raat aur hai.. subh to hone do..<br /><br />u can get this song from here.. <a href="http://www.papuyaar.com/music/category/view/1110/guru-%282006%29">http://www.papuyaar.com/music/category/view/1110/guru-(2006)</a>gaganguptahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05077477550461605319noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9348457.post-1169547636737060822007-01-23T02:17:00.000-08:002007-01-23T02:20:36.750-08:00fun..I found a wonderfull fun filled site.. <a href="http://www.funnymos.com/">www.funnymos.com</a> its got all kinds of humor.. weird stories.. funny pics.. and crazy video's worth watching once..gaganguptahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05077477550461605319noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9348457.post-1169103692212806382007-01-17T22:43:00.000-08:002007-01-23T22:22:13.948-08:00Rang de Basanti out of oscar..(a copied movie)<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405508/"><i>Rang De Basanti</i> </a>failed to figure in the nominations shortlist for Oscar , and now people are debating would it be better if Omkara was sent to Oscar it would have made in the category.. producer of <i>Rang De Basanti</i> <a href="http://www.ibnlive.com/news/why-rang-de-basanti-was-the-wrong-choice-for-oscar/top/31493-8.html">Ronnie Screwvala says </a><br /><br />"<span style="font-style: italic;">I think the US audience has been tilted towards American cinema.

his digicam is the contorl over photography it provides till now i was using simple cam which didnt have any configurable thing .. so its really a big and quite tough thing for me.. so mostly i go for using the auot mode. wich sets all the things automatically u dont need to do nething.. also i use the activity mode vry often ..<br /><br />okie apart from all the gud thing wat i think it lacks is battery life time.. battery life is too short.. becoz of the larze LCD the battery sinks too soon... although u have option to use the optical view finder but in that case u wont b able to use the manual setting..<br /><br />now as i have i got ma dream digicam cam i am clicking everything i can.. n tryin to learn the cam each day ... tryin to control the sutter speed aparture.. the.. focus.. the exposure.. omg it has so many thing to b learnt , i think i need to leanr some gud photography books to use the true power of my digicam..<br />in the mean time do chk out my click on flickr at<br

Traffic Police goes Gandhigiri way...Mumbai traffic police is on its way to <span style="font-style: italic;">Gandhigiri</span> ... not practically.. but atleast via adv'ts .. i heard a lotss of their <span style="font-style: italic;">Gandhirgiri</span> (if u dont know it .. its by <span style="font-style: italic;">Munna bhai</span> ) advices on radio's .. lyk advices for traffic jam during rush.. ppl try to get out of jam's quicker and in that.. they creat more chaos .. and there comes the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Gnadhiji's</span> advice.. why not better b calm and jst follow the traffic rule things will b in more control that way... its really a gud idea .. but are drivers really gonna to follow these things... its easy for ppl to get impressed by such nice adv'ts but in real life ppl hardly follow such nice things.. they are used to doing things in a way.. and breaking a tradition or trying sumthing new.. its not gonna b easy.. i hope this initiative of mumbai police works ..<br /> <br /> and one gud thing.. is mumbai traffic police gonna to apply <span style="font-style: italic;">Gandhigiri</span> to itself we all knw abut corruption dont v... its easy to advice others then to follow it.. ;)<br /><br /> so wat do u think its gonna to wrk or not.. leave ur

didnt wann to b s/w support engg's or in maintance... all i wanted is writing new codes.. all the time.. using new tech.. but recently i rade a article abut diff b/w developers and programmers it really clearifies ur view abut the misundersanting u have.. and if u want to b developer not jst a (slave) programmer who is doing jst coding coding and coding all the way.. this not wat a s/w developer does.. offcourse programing is part of .. but its not all..it has lots of things.. buisness intelligence.. domain expertise.. wich ppl tend to lack... if u want to get the clear cut
