Today is a holiday for me on account of Ganesh Chaturthi. And I'm bored. This intense desire to do something special remains only a desire, since all I end up doing is watch TV and waste my time.

I'd have preferred to go to work today, but there's no food in office :) and that's a big deterrent. Apart from the fact that going to office is like going for a theerth yatra; My office is in ze great E-City. And navigating hosur traffic and climbing on BMTC buses isn't just my cup of holiday tea.

Yesterday I read in the newspapers that employees were getting fired for writing stuff about their offices, in their blogs. Good God. I must be careful. Any mention of hosur road, and E-City, and I may end up on that road with my resume.

Now, I agree to some extent that employees shouldn't divulge confidential information about their offices in their blogs, but somehow, the whole purpose of a blog seems defeated. Everyone will now have to be careful not to leave information about what they do and where they work, and how their boss is, cos, next thing you know, they'd get the pink slip since their boss has just read yesterday's entry. Right to free speech eh.

Long ago, there was a site called kvetch.com, which no longer exists. It existed for the sole purpose of complaints - people could bitch about anyone anywhere and feel relieved after throwing up all that hate inside. The site has been pulled off the websphere, for reasons better known to the guys who put it up in the first place. But I guess for some people, their blogs were just being that place, where they could express all their hate and disgust and feel relieved. And now, they'll have to lock up their blog with a key if they don't wanna get fired.

Beware all you bloggers. Look who's reading your blog :)

As for me, although I do prefer anonymity, I'm not the type to complain about my boss (since he's not all that bad), so I guess I'm safe for sometime.  But I could be arrested for putting forth funny views all over my blog. Hmmm.
