Well. This is a view of The Economic Times homepage as it shows at my college computer lab. Though, we can see Orkut and Google Talk are working perfectly. And so is Facebook. (not in the picture)
The more interesting thing is that I can write a blog as blogger.com is open. But blogspot pages are prohibited by proxy so I cannot see my page. And a number of scientific and general knowledge blogs cannot be accessed just because they are being hosted on blogger.
Alas!
Interestingly, many of the sites that provide materials like papers and other things that students use for their projects and assignments are also not working. And as a result almost 80 percent of the lab is empty, making me realize that students do not sit in the lab for Orkutting or chatting, even though they open these sites while they work in the lab. An altogether knew piece of knowledge. Think I should thank the lab management for that.
Anyways I just hope these people understand it soon that in order to stop a little misuse of resources, putting too many restrictions is not the solution.
And please pray that I can see my blog next time I come.
Thanks.

now why would they block you from seeing blogger pages? is it because of the assignments and research?
in our college, as an experiment, they blocked most of the sites, and gave us the scare of our lives, but luckily it was just an experiment.
thanks for visiting my blog by the way :)
