I mean I want to log all chat when I go offline.. to read them after I
come back..
I had seen such a feature before on some channel that provides a link
to the txt file which has got all chat from beginning in it

An IRC bouncer is good for this purpose. It can always stays connected
to your servers, then you setup your client to connect to it. They can
be configured to "play back" what happened since you left each time
you reconnect.

I run [ZNC](http://wiki.znc.in/ZNC) on a crappy Linux box and open a
port through my router to it so I can take my laptop on the go with
me.

There are also hosted bouncer services if you don't want to run your
own.

Almost all irc clients have a logging feature, weechat for sure has
one (that's the one i use). The problem is that they'll only log
channels that you have open currently. What i would do is keep weechat
open on a spare desktop 24/7 and i'd catch up when i came back from
work or from sleeping. If you don't want this (which makes sense cause
you don't need a 24/7 on computer), you'll need an irc bouncer. If you
have a server or something like (there are a couple free ones if iirc
correctly for this sort of stuff where you get a small shell account.
you can have an irc client running through screen and you just
erconnect to the screen session when you log on.

If you use a command line IRC client (like Irssi or something
similar), you could also run something like GNU screen or tmux, then
leave your session up. Probably not as efficient, but it's what I do.
Also if you're worried about missing a message to you (and you run
irssi), you can use the "Irssi Notifier" app to push notifications to
your phone (assuming you have a smartphone).

Aside from using a bouncer, a channel with something like
[ChanStat](http://chanstat.net/) in would be able to serve logs upon
request, for up to 90 days in ChanStat's case.
