1. I think this kind of language is pretty common in college life…it’s just that it has been captured on video very few times…and it’s a little “buzz” creating because these are gals and not boys…as they say in one ad, why should boys have all the fun? hahaha…

2. I think yes, this is kind of a distraction from focus of the blog…but hey, a change is good sometimes…as long as the frequency of such posts is not too high…right?

Webyantra – is a tech blog that profiles Indian web products & services. It is ‘ground zero’ for Indian web startups, ecommerce websites and internet based businesses….

So tell me again…..how did this fit in to the above definition? Because I seem to be missing the point somewhere..

First of all I think some frustrated people (read who could not make it to IIMs) are trying to make a huge issue out of it. This is a culture thing at that specific college and it is nothing to be debated about. Weird things like this exists in every college’s culture. Somewhere it is inter hostel rivalry, somewhere inter college but one thing is common that it is all in good spirit(even though language is not that good) and mostly there to ease out pressure from regular academic routine. I don’t think one should expect parliamentary language discussions at colleges.
And second, I think this blog post is something not expected from you. In my view you are trying to get cheap publicity which is disheartening.

I was talking about Deepak and Himanshu’s comments. Their comments implied that you’re somehow obliged to ask the readers before posting anything. I, on the other hand am perfectly all right with Webyantra being a “blog”.

Nilesh,

It is NOT my blog and I did not ask for any obligation…or am I missing some point which you are trying to make

well well…

Amit, I suggest marking the post title as “NSFW” in future – which stands for “Not Safe for Work”. That’s the standard way to go about it whenever your audience includes people browsing at work. It might save many people’s jobs !

Anyway, I think you should ignore users (after a point) who try to tell you what to post and what not to post. It is your blog and and you do not have the obligation of asking before posting. Keep on posting!

You did have the guts to post the video on its own, you could have done the research on your own and since now PaGaLGuY has done it; you had all the proofs with u to post it.

This is the post disgusting act of cowardice I have ever witnessed.
