    Airtel GPRS with system is connecting but not opening any site my mobile numder is 9849326890, plz give solution for it.
  • I've heard News Reports on TV that the ban will be lifted within 48 Hours
  • Who uses Geocities these days anyway? But seriously, that's ridiculus. We're in the 21st century, governments shouldn't be blocking access to information.
  • Pretty Wild!.... Also I created a post as well as a poll on my blog site about India Blocking Access To Blog Sites. Check it out!
