"The Husky Voiced Guy"
From the Blog Young Pakistan: "The Husky Voiced Guy" - “Watch your step!” says a husky voice in a garment store,which makes Bint-e-Eve,turn around to see the owner of the voice. She expected to see a old ‘uncle’,or a 30ish guy but to her surprise the voice belonged to a tall,skinny teenager,wearing ‘antiquated’ clothes,with curly dandruff lined hair,a long giraffe sized neck and huge eyes.And yes,it was the eyes that made her glance extend into a stare. “Yup this guy is different”,thought Bint-e-Eve.She tried and failed to categorize this guy,he wasn’t the Macho type nor a blunt nerd.Neither he look anything like sleazy cheap flirt one meets everywhere any tyme. Bint-e-Batool is curious now.She had to know this one.But no matter how hard she tries to catch his eye,he won’t just simply look her way. “Maybe he haven’t noticed me yet”,she consoles herself,looking at herself in the shop mirror,to see how she looked,asking herself if she was pretty enough and she was answered as she saw another guy wearing his pants so low she had ever seen one wear,staring and trying to smile on her. “But what,his Mom is on the counter and they are leaving.Did he really not notice me?”She asked herself once again.It was answered,as the guy swept passed her out of the store with his mother,he did not look at her,but Bint-e-Eve could swear she saw a hint of smile on those lips. So he knew all the time! She felt defeated as she saw him climb down the stairs and walk away to his car,wishing she had never turned around to look at the “Husky-Voiced guy”. (The author believes ego to the only thing which makes a female make her life full of plights,this is his personal opinion and you have no right to disagree) ——————————————————————————————And there was I back in the car, feeling delighted with myself for no reason at all.—————————————————————————————— Once you read this post,you are supposed to leave comment. .

Blackberry users in Pakistan can migrate to Enterprise Service for unrestricted use
From the Blog Teeth Maestro: Blackberry users in Pakistan can migrate to Enterprise Service for unrestricted use - For a good one year, ever since the facebook controversy regarding the burning of the Quran hit Pakistan, internet browsing has been significantly restricted on Blackberry devices under the orders of the Lahore High Court and subsequently conveyed to all telco's via Pakistan Telecommunication Authority. Other cell phone users enjoy unrestricted access to most websites since they rely on simple GPRS connections which can be easily monitored and controlled but Blackberry users face the brunt of the impact of these restrictions since their devices are connected online via a secure tunnel connection to Singapore easily bypassing any government enforced censorship. My personal position is that any blasphemous / illegal (including porn) content should not be viewed, those individual who seek such content do so on their own free will and they alone are responsible and will be answerable to Allah. Condemning an entire population for something they have no interest in, is unfortunate, and such blanket censorships only become a source of inconvenience. Most of Pakistani Blackberry users subscribe to Blackberry Internet Services (BIS) which is the simplest form of blackberry service the services and tools are controlled to a great extent by the Telco themselves, one way to bypass all the censorship hoopla is to subscribe to Blackberry Enterprise Server, How to Setup Blackberry Enterprise Server The most ideal situation would be to install a BES Express on your own Microsoft Server connected to the internet, unfortunately not everyone has a high-end server online or the technical know-how to do this seamlessly, so the next best option is to subscribe to a Hosted BES service from an online host . Quite a number of hosts are available but after a good through research weighing in prices and stability I personally settled for Hosted Exchange Services with Blackberry from GoDaddy . I subscribed to GoDaddy, mostly on the account of a low price $9.98 per month (no setup charges) if you also choose follow my lead then you make sure that you subscribe to the $6.99 per month hosted exchange package and also $2.99 for the blackberry add-on per user. Call your telco's helpline and enable BES Once you have subscribed you will need to create a Hosted Exchange email account, once you have this configured, you need to dial your Telco's Blackberry support line and request to be moved from BIS to their BES service, they generally have two options BES enables you to link up with only one core account BES PLUS enables 10 personal accounts like gmail, yahoo & hotmail. I personally chose BES Plus. The update takes at maximum 2 hours Activating the Enterprise Server on your Blackberry Once your BES is enabled by your telco, you need to hard reset your blackberry restart the device. Proceed to OPTIONS > ADVANCED OPTIONS > ENTERPRISE ACTIVATION and enter your GoDaddy's email address and password. It may take a few minutes for things to synchronize, but once you are done, you now have a slightly modified blackberry, a secure device directly connected via a secure tunnel to your BES server in the US, bypassing filters enforced by your telco and PTA. You can now download, install and run the Facebook app, Twitter app amongst a wider variety of tools that were previously limited by the governing authority Bottom line, this effort will set you back by about Rs. 1,400 additional each month, for most it may be a wasted effort, for a few it may be considered an unholy move, but for a small fraction of people like me, it is an effort to vehemently say no to blanket censorship, majority of internet users in Pakistan use internet technology for peaceful purposes, limiting their utilization only hinders our own people, majority of us have never desired to seek or will ever search for any form of illegal / blasphemous content, we as adults are educated enough to be responsible for our own actions .
