Indian Polls and Australian Visas.
Poll results in India were a surprise for majority of us. Where they were encouraging in the sense that democracy in India has picked up strong roots at the same time they were a source of reflection for Pakistani nation as a whole. Both started our journey simultaneously but where are we standing now and where are the Indians. Well now as the celebrations are over in India and things are getting clearer Pakistan is bound to think where will the new Indian govt. pick up from the peace process its predecessor started. Many have many differing views on this some say that it would be easier to negotiate with a premier who has economics in his mind and would give and take to improve economic standing of his country while other argue against the belief themselves believing that the new premier is not in a position to give anything as his party doesn't have support from the extremist part of Indian populace.
   I think changing Indian Govt wouldn't make more of a difference to the Indian stance. This party is the one we have dealt with in past decades and they have always proved to be the same no matter who heads them. Also the recent change in Indian and Pakistani stance on their unresolved disputes is not the result of any good will developing between the bureaucracy of the two countries endogenously rather is a result of foreign pressure. So in my opinion Mr. Singh wouldn't be able to make much of a difference to the progress of peace process.
   Australian Govt. Has temporarily suspended the issuing of visas from Pakistan. This apparently due to the wheat scandal that made quite some fuss in the papers here lately. I don't know but our ministers just bring foreign wrath upon themselves and their naive nation for the sake of little sums of money. The same wheat contingent that our ministry of food rejected on the grounds of being fungus infected is being used to feed millions in Srilanka and two other countries. How can our Govt. Do these things to us. It is simply unbelievable.

Learning Arduino 1

This holiday season I decided to gift myself some basic electrical components in the form of a Arduino UNO set from Elegoo. I have always had a desire to tinker with electronics and in gifting myself this basic set I am now starting on a journey to quench my inner electrical workman's thirst. I hope to develop this hobby as I move forward and will, from time to time, post about it here on the blog. As the journey moves forward I am sure to run into trouble and issues. But as they say you can not master anything without first being a fool at it, so I have decided to remain a fool at it until I am a little good at it. To start with, I do possess some elementary knowledge in electronics and electronic circuits. I intend to further my knowledge using the world wide web and following some very useful video channels on youtube. I will first start with some very basic projects to familiarize myself with Arduino and basic electronic circuits and techniques such as soldering. Then graduall...

Elections 08 V

In the election results of the year 33 former ministers who were closely associated with Musharraf have lost their seats. PML-Q has suffered losses to the seats of those who were stalwarts of the previous administration and were thought to be close to Musharraf himself. the results express more so a disgust and hatred with Musharraf and anything even closely related to him. Otherwise PML-Q has been able to win seats of those members who were not closely associated with Musharraf. So we can safely conclude that this is a an anti Musharraf vote and not a pro PPP or PML-N or ANP vote. In other news the Govt. is now thinking of letting go of the Chief Justice of Pakistan who has been kept under illegal house arrest since November 3, 2007. Aitizaz Ahsan was freed not until the last minutes before election and now Chief Justice's imminent freedom spell something very fishy. What was so important about him that he was not released before elections? What special situation has arise...

Pakistan Earthquake

It was terrifying to say the least. We have often heard the proverb being used again and again but this one was a real earth mover. It occurred at about 52 minutes past 8 in the morning while most of our urban population was still asleep in their homes. The jolts kept on coming for about a minute and 10 seconds and then there were lighter jolts in the evening. I was fulfilling my new found glory in the field of gardening when our tractor started shaking like mad. It was literally heaving its huge heavy body sideways like some shaky pendulum.    Then my father called in and told me that the quake had been hard on Rawalpindi and Islamabad. I talked to my relatives there to ensure that they were safe and away from harm's way. Afterwards I switched on the Television. Thus starts my cynicism for the whole event!    The anchor on the TV was so disturbed that he could not even tell the story right. At one point in time he is telling us all the reports fro...
