Shoaib Mansoor’s BOL, after its successful and record breaking release in Pakistani Cinemas, is all set to release in India and World Wide on 31st August 2011, most probably on the occasion of EID.

“The Eros group has bought Bol’s rights for Rs 5 crore. It plans to release the film shortly in India. We believe the film has the ingredients, like a strong script and good performances, to do well in India.”

The film, which is the first by the talented director after his critically acclaimed and award-winning Khuda Kay Liye, released in Pakistan on June 24. According to indiaglitz.com, the film has been declared a super hit as it has received a tremendous opening and grossed about Rs4.9 million on the first day, which is more than Ready and My Name is Khan grossed on their first day in Pakistan.
Khuda Kay Liye — a film is about the life of Muslims after 9/11 — was the first Pakistani film to be officially released in India after many years, and now Mansoor is confident that Bol will also hook the Indian audience.
Bol features the talents of Humaima Malick, singing sensation Atif Aslam, VJ Mahira Khan and model-turned actor Iman Ali, along with many other popular Pakistani actors. The film tells the tale of a girl who and challenges the age-old societal norms of treating women as the lesser sex. Based in Lahore, the film aims to highlight the plight of women, who are often treated as burdens by a large percentage of society. The movie also treads no-go areas like homosexuality and the life of eunuchs, in addition to talking about Shia-Sunni dynamics.
Bollywood has rejuvenated dying Pakistani theatres and now Pakistan’s film industry is looking to Indian audiences for survival.Bol is just the third film produced this year in Pakistan. “The film industry has to cater to larger markets, which are very different from those that existed in past.

WiFi Technology


What is Wi Fi?

A way to get Internet access, the term Wi Fi is a play upon the decades-old term HiFi that describes the type of output generated by quality musical hardware, Wi Fi stands for Wireless Fidelity and is used to define any of the wireless technology in the IEEE 802.11 specification - including (but not necessarily limited to) the wireless protocols 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g. The Wi-Fi Alliance is the body responsible for promoting the term and its association with various wireless technology standards.

What is a Wi Fi Hotspot?

A Wi Fi hotspot is defined as any location in which 802.11 (wireless) technology both exists and is available for use to consumers. In some cases the wireless access is free, and in others, wireless carriers charge for Wi Fi usage. Generally, the most common usage of Wi Fi technology is for laptop users to gain Internet access in locations such as airports, coffee shops, and so on, where Wi Fi technology can be used to help consumers in their pursuit of work-based or recreational Internet usage.

How Can I Use Wi Fi?

You must be using a computer or PDA that has Wi Fi connectivity already working. Most portable computers can add Wi Fi using an adapter that plugs into a PC card slot or USB port.

Will I need to have an account with a Wi Fi service provider?

Generally, no. You should be able to sign up with the provider at the location. Many providers will display instructions when browser software opens on a WiFi-enabled computer. If you don't have an account, simply start your computer and make sure your Wi Fi card is plugged on. Then, open a browser.

Is Wi Fi the same as Bluetooth?

No. While both are wireless technology terms, Bluetooth technology lives under the IEEE protocol 802.15.1, while Wi Fi falls under the 802.11 specification. What this means for consumers is that appliances using Wi Fi technology and those using Bluetooth technology are not interoperable. Bluetooth and Wi Fi are different in several ways, and are not necessarily in competition. Wi Fi technology boasts faster data transfer speeds and range, making it a good replacement for Ethernet (802.3) systems, while Bluetooth requires less power and is therefore more prominent in small appliances, such as PDAs.

7 Wonders In Pakistan

I was wondering if you were to chose 7 wonders in Pakistan or should i say 7 places to visit in Pakistan what do you recommend those places to be?
I mean sometimes people create different categories like 7 Wonders of the ancient world, medieval world, modern world, historical buildings, natural wonders etc but here we have to be Pakistan specific only and you can choose from any category you like and just come up with the 7 best options in your mind

I guess my question is simple now

so i rate these 7 places

1) K2
2) Karakoram Highway
3) Khewra (Salt mines)
4) World Heritage Sites like Qila (fort) Rohtas, Harrapa & Mohenjo Daro
5) Khyber Pass
6) Faisal Masjid
7) Couple of lakes in Northern Areas and NWFP e.g. Jheel Saiful Malook, *** lusar Lake, Ansoo Lake etc

I tried to restrict myself into 7 but i guess these lakes are really amazing and should deserve at least one place in 7 wonders of Pakistan

Well.......What do you say?
