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...

Tax skirting by hospital systems?

The issue of avoiding federal taxes is in the news these days with Apple being in the spotlight.  Most of the times big companies avoid paying US taxes by skirting their profits to tax havens.  Healthcare giants can do the same theoretically.  Imagine if there were a health care giant that opens up shop in tax haven islands and then uses the same technique that commercial entities use to skirt their profits out of the country, thereby avoiding taxes.  This is very much possible.  The of shore clinics can be potentially used to complicate the tax return filing system here in US.  I could never understand why a completely US hospital system would like to open up a clinic in Bahamas.  These clinics are portrayed as the global reach of the entity but who do they actually serve.  We never hear about them in press or public.  These clinics are apparently manned by some doctors we never hear about.  How does this system work?  I really do...

Xbox ONE

I have recently purchased the newest version of Microsoft's gaming consoles, the Xbox One . This is a shift from my prior gaming system which was Sony's PS3 . I loved PS3 and preferred it over Xbox 360 for many reasons. It was smarter looking, faster, could play Blu rays, good games and all my friends had PS3s. However the most like able thing about it was the free online game play that Microsoft does not allow. Things I did not appreciate in Sony were its user interface. The move bundle was a waste of money for all intent and purposes as I used it once in the past two years. So this time around I decided to go with Microsoft's game console. The decision was not easy. Obviously PS4 has some good press out there and it is a step forward in technology. However now Xbox can play blu rays too. Also now both consoles require a subscription service for online game play. This sort of made me feel like Sony didn't care for us anymore. I guess paying money might mean better e...
