I wouldn't be so quick to discount Fireflies, I was similarly
skeptical, but I spent a few days there and it's a great retreat
especially if you live in Bangalore which is only 2 hours or less
away.


We had the last FoU camp there.

Um, not my first choice. ;)

That an IT professional gets arrested for posting obscene pictures of
Shivaji on Orkut?

Or that the ISP provides the wrong IP address of the person who posted
these pictures, resulting in the wrong person being jailed for 50 whole
days?


I would certainly hope he's proceeding with legal action against both 
the ISP and the government.

Not worth it. Amount of money he's likely to get at court will be tiny.
Not worth the hassle of several years of court hearings. Could try to
negotiate some kind of settlement out of court but what will he threaten
Airtel with? Not the court. And they've already got the bad publicity..

 An EFF for India anyone?

Not sure but isn't there an Alternative Law Forum in Bangalore. Which
deals with stuff like these?

 That'd be a much better idea than letting the EFF in here.

I'm curious. Why?

Google suresh + ramasubramanian + eff for all the times I've butted heads
with them - but in a nutshell, we have enough loony left types around
without importing some more.

I suggested either Fireflies (again!) or the artist place (Vishtar?) 
and haven't heard any counter-suggestions yet.

Not ashram / artists retreat type communes, PLEASE.

There's a degree of pretentiousness involved in most of those places that's
frankly off-putting, at least for me.

How about a resort hotel type place .. Bala's lodge wherever it is on the
road to Ooty. Or somewhere else of that sort?
