Brad Pitt to play Daniel Pearl
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, whose relationship was spawned on a film set, will again work together — this time on a movie based on the life of Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter who was kidnapped and murdered in Pakistan. The pair had recently visited Pakistan too to support the earthquake relief effort.
I just hope that the script doesn’t try to impose any biasing, and remains true to just the known facts or else the movie will drive a lot of controversy
India blocks blogs
India’s Department of Telecommunications (DoT) passed an order to ISPs Friday to block several websites. The list is confidential. Indian ISPs have been slowly coming into compliance. SpectraNet, MTNL, Reliance, and as of Monday afternoon, Airtel. State-backed BSNL and VSNL have not started yet but likely will soon. The known list of blocked domains is *.blogspot.com, *.typepad.com and geocities.com/*.
Yes folks, the Indian government has decided to censor blogs and refused to explain why. This morning Shivam Vij managed to talk to Dr Gulshan Rai, director of CERT-IN, the only body authorised to issue directives to ISPs. His response: “Somebody must have asked for some sites to be blocked. What is your problem?”
First it was Pakistan who blocked BlogSpot.com and now India. Well atleast Pakistani’s gave the explanation that some blogs there had the Danish Caricatures of Muhammad (SAW) which were a disgrace. But Indian arguments … are no arguments at all.
