Another one bites the dust
UPDATE: A lot of people have written to me online and off…..and I think I should clear the air. This line was posted at the end of this blogpost and I repost it right at the top again
This is an attempt at satire. There is no intention to hurt the feelings of the named parties……viz One and One and DesiPundit. As for the institution, the less said the better.
In a major development, students of a tainted institution has threatened to immolate themselves and burn down the headquarters of a web hosting company, if it did not remove one of its client websites.
One and One, an internet hosting company has been served notice by an institution in India, asking One and One to take down the website of one DesiPundit.com
DesiPundit is the second entity to be targeted in this war that the institute has been waging against the blogosphere. Earlier, another Indian blogger resigned from IBM after similar threats were made to burn laptops.
DesiPundit sent out a cry for full on battle against the institute and many others in the blogosphere rallied behind the leadership that DesiPundit provided.
It has been learnt from reliable sources that One and One had no choice but to drop DesiPundit from its hosting servers. On querying one of the Pundits, we were informed that One and One sent a legal notice via email to one of the Pundits in the US around 7 AM CST, but since the pundit was sleeping, the notice is still waiting to be served. However it has been already been served by other mediums like email, fax, and pigeon.
This is indeed a sad day for blogosphere. DesiPundit regularly features on everyone’s daily diet of blogging.
The blogosphere awaits the quick return of DesiPundit, stronger than ever, but till then all you get to see is
This is an attempt at satire. There is no intention to hurt the feelings of the named parties……viz One and One and DesiPundit. As for the institution, the less said the better.

DesiPundit isn’t hosted at One & One currently. We were contemplating *moving* to One and One, but chucked the idea
Hope to have DP back up soon

Michael, I thought the above line posted at the end of the blog would make it clear…..

Back Online
DesiPundit is back online after a brief hiccup. Don’t worry, IIPM didn’t threaten to burn their servers as Arzan (satirically) claimed. We were simply overwhelmed by the visitors last week and our bandwidth gave way. But now, we are in a n…
