Disaster strikes IITB Hostels

The atmosphere was feverish. and the excitement was palpable.

I was having one of those routine afti naps ( very less of them these days....with classes from afti to night this term)....


continuous noise of buzzing and four to five messenger windows all across the screen. i decided not to get up. then some rude knocks on teh door as well. still i was as dead as i cud be.

and woke up 20 mins before start of class. the corridor was vibrating with people shouting " Orkut is banned, Orkut is banned"

yeah. orkut has been successfully firewalled here. by IIT B CC.

try opening orkut.com....and the displays says IIT Bombay actively encourages use of internet only for educational purposes.

well i thought to myself. so that was the reason for all the buzz in the hostel.

Yeah i was also partly affected though i dont scrap regularly or sth. I had just been tracking down some old school mates and college mates. and having some fun with batchmates here as well. But hey! i had a reason to cheer.

Blogger.com survived. atleast till this moment i am writing this post.

Long live blogging and long live bloggers.

PS:

I realised one important fact of life during this event. that end of day, it is not money, fame, knowledge or any other thing that humans crave for......

People crave for people!!!! or it seems so from this incident.

Alas orkut is no more orkut in our hostel....

it is orquit!!!! no wonder i can see quite a few status messages - orkut blocked by CC. IITB CC sucks and so on.......
