			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How many SIMs are registered with your name? You were not able to answer this question exactly but thanks to PTA now your can easily find the number of SIMS registered with your CNIC. write your CNIC number from your cell phone &#038; send it to 668, you will receive a massage showing the number of SIMs registered with your identity for each mobile operator. This is an excellent solution to cope with identity fraud in SIMs registration process from different cellular companies in Pakistan. I must admire this step of PTA, Since one year they are actively working to archive fair data from the mobile subscribers. I believe they have succeeded in this goal. I just checked mine &#038; was surprised to see that there are 9 telenor SIMs registered with my CNIC, I cant wait to contact the nearest Service center of telenor to infrom them about the fake entries with my identity.</p>
<p>Identity fraud in SIM registration process is one of the major problem that is in the scenario since the arrival of telecom companies in Pakistan, I believe telecom companies, government &#038; the users itself are responsible for it, First it is the responsibility of telecom companies to allow only the authorized sales points for the sales &#038; registration of there SIMs (subscribers identity module). They are required to actively monitor the sale points &#038; ensure fair registration from the users. However we can expect them unfair at this, because every company likes to have more subscribers to gain more revenue. So ultimately for achieving this they can try every possible sales channel without caring about the consequence. </p>
<p>Ok! Now turning towards the government which holds a major responsibility in this regard, unfortunatly it seems me that the government was finding it difficult to direct the telecom operators with a fair &#038; strict policy regarding the registration of new SIMs, Before the serious involvement of PTA (Pakistan telecom authority) the sales &#038; registration process of telecom subscribers are not fair, SIMs of different companies were selling without the requirements of proper identity document, that is as easy as finding classifieds from <a href="http://clhandbook.com">Craigslist</a>. Even a kid can purchase these SIMs from any retailor. </p>
<p>Franchises &#038; the retailors are the great contributors in the occurrence of fake entries, every franchise owner gets a good profit margin on every SIM that is registered &#038; sold in a defined region. They make fake entries for their sales in most of the cases when a buyer didn’t submit their original CNIC with the purchase. Similar is the case with retailers, they get Rs 20 to 30 on each registration form they submit to the franchise for registration, they attach anonymous CNIC with the registration forms that resulted in the fake entry for a particular mobile number. However, PTA has make these things easier now. you can register your SIM directly by calling them from your mobile phone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gone is time when access to information &#038; entertainment was a real delimiter among different areas of the world, people were cling with their local believes &#038; cultural values. Every place have a unique way to celebrate their joys by singing or using different musical instruments. Most of the time at one place, it take years to get familiar with the discoveries of surrounding continents. The  communication among people of different nations are really slow or even dead. while animals like, horse &#038; camel were used for transportation. I know most of the readers know about this chapter of history but the purpose of recalling this is to compare the past with the current trends of music, entertainment &#038; socialization.</p>
<p>Music has the relation with human that is very old. It is also found in the roots of ancient civilizations. from prehistoric music to the current digitally lyrics of music, it exists with us at every age, however the tools of music has been altered with the passage of time. currently the pop music culture is all about what we called digital music with computer generated lyrics &#038; voice alteration. yet i like it both classical &#038; pop, but pop mostly because the lyrics made by guitar is stunning, one of my friend plays guitar well, I wounder how he learn it in a little time. but lately when i found some <a href="http://www.guitarlessonsreviewed.com/guitar-instruction-dvds.html">Guitar instruction dvds</a> in the market i got the answer. I concluded here that now we are in the era where access to entertainment &#038; social networking is quite easy but it is digitalized, we rarely meet people in real life, but can communicate with them using digital tools like phone &#038; internet. Listning to music is no deal today but the real jolly of life exists in old music &#038; warmth social interactions. </p>
