Fall in sales of Blackberry in Pakistan

Jailed militant’s hoax calls drove India, Pakistan to brink of war

Islamabad : There is a sharp dip in the demand of Blackberry cell phones in Pakistan.The reason for the sharp decline in the sales is due to hoax call by a terrorist named 'Omar Saeed Sheikh' who made a hoax call to the President Zadari office few days after the 26/11 incident.Its due to his hoax call INDIA-PAK were at the brink of a nuke war.




Omar Saeed Sheikh made a call from his Blackberry cell phone from a Hyderabad Jail where he is held for the chargers of kidnapping WSJ journalist Daniel Pearl.The government was able to track Omar Saeed Sheikh after almost an year with the tremendous help from its Intelligence agency ISI.It is rumored that some ISI officers might be given Nishan-e-Pakistan award for their amazing work.

Under the pressure from INDIA,USA and UK the Zadari government is thinking to ban Blackberry mobiles , X-Box , Play-stations ,Laptops etc... in the prisons where the terrorists are kept.As the news of this ban comes as a shock to all the prisoners they are planning to make a strike in all the jails across pakistan. The strike may have enormous effects as the arms trade business ,Karachi stock exchange etc.. as they are controlled by pakistan terrorists groups, meanwhile the Paksitan human right activists argue that Zadari govt is taking all the fundamental rights of pakistan terrorists and prisoners.



Shockingly there is a allegation by 'Research In Motion' company which manufactures BlackBerry mobiles, the company alleges that the Pakistan Government has a secret deal with NOKIA which has offered N900 sets to all terrorists serving in Paksitan prosons,however the allegation was rubbished by the Government.

Jules and Jim(1962)

The Unusual TRAGEDY

I read the book 'HITCHCOCK' 3 years back as i am a big fan of Alfred Hitchcock.'HITCHCOCK was written by Francois Truffaut,at that time i did not watch Truffaut 's films but the book has made me watch his films as his insight towards films and his critical analysis impressed me a lot and there it started my journey towards films of Francois Truffaut.

My first Francois Truffaut's film was '400 Blows' which i am not gonna discuss here but i am gonna throw my thoughts on his two wonderful films 'Jules and Jim' in this post and 'Two English Girls' in the next post and also the similarities between these two films.

Jules and Jim are two friends who fight for different sides of the World War 1 and they meet a girl called Catherine,who likes both and both Jules and Jim love Catherine. Jules loves Catherine and they get married and have a daughter,Jim visits Jules and Catherine and he develops a relationship with Catherine.... this sounds like a normal story but the real pleasure of watching this film comes after Catherine develops a relationship with Jim.

We cant even predict the next scene,we don't know weather she will go with Jim or Jules,with whom she will share the bed,will she marry Jim?,will she leave Jules and her daughter?,will Jim leave Catherine?,will Jules leave Catherine and Jim for the sake of friendship and for his love towards Catherine?, or will the three stay together?

Every scene is like a simple and a silent twist without any huge impact on the screenplay and the story,these three live together for a period of time and Jim tells us that villagers called them as lunatics.Jules is loved by Catherine but she is unhappy with the marriage and tries to have an affair with Jim with the knowledge of Jules,Jules loves Catherine but he is not sure what to do as his love and friendship collide, even though its an unhappy marriage with Jules,Catherine loves Jules.Its funny that we see Catherine spinning her relations with Jim and Jules which are from a confused heart.Jules is in the favor of Catherine having an affair with Jim as Jim is his best friend and wants to see Catherine happy.

The confused plot is the amalgam of wonderful emotion between the three characters who cant live without each other and finally there can be only one perfect ending to such a story,its the TRAGEDY . The tragedy in the film makes it a perfect ending,the tragedy needs to be triggered by one of the characters and the there will be an innocent victim too.The true and complete pleasure of watching 'Jules and Jim' can be felt when we understand the characters and the relationship between Jules,Jim and Catherine.
