GOSH!!! Censorship gets to us...
I heard a few days back that they have blocked blogspot.com in Pakistan. That means this is going to be published (because the stupid gov didnt know that there was an underhand to this site), but I will not be able to watch the fruits of my labour--ahhh.
Don't know why this came about. People were probably being too open in their condemnation of the govertnment and the way things are run here in our country, on their blogs. That would not have settled well with the higher-ups. Anyways, whatever happened was wrong and it should be condemned..yeah.
I just wrote somewhere that I would like to witness "a culture of inquiry, innovation and creativity"; also coupled with the "wonders of civil liberties". Alas, that stays a dream until yesss...i qualify for the "lucrative" Summer institute sponsored by the Fulbright program. We get to visit America in the summer hols and learn about the institutions the edifice of their society is based on. I also wrote that I would like to "carry back with me the images and impressions of the institutes that are the backbone of a prosperous society.".
Just wish those images dont just remain heavy baggage for the concience but do prove to be the "first ripples in a long series of waves" for social change.
