Faking an assassination.
   This is something our leaders have gained expertise in recent past. Those who planned to kill Musharraf on the Lai pull in Rawalpindi one fateful evening were mere fools for they detonated the bomb after the convoy had crossed the bridge. Even I know this that when you have to blow someone on a bridge you do damage in front of the car not on its tail. Well this is not a valid argument a passionate lover of the regime may argue and I give up on convincing any such gentlemen. Then there comes the second attempt at the precious life of the dictator. This time around it was even bigger fool who made the attempt. The place, if you have seen it, is a one way road with a barrier of rock solid cement about foot or so high between the two opposite lanes of the road. That banished fool who tried to ram the explosive laden car into the motorcade of the dictator was on the other side of the barrier. There was no way that his car could have made across the lane and hit General's motorcade. But it did some damage so I give up on convincing the die hard fans once more.
   Then comes the attempt, failed as it was planned to be, on the life of the Prime minister in waiting. A clean shaven fool with explosives tied all around his body approaches the car of the PM and raises his hands and is blown to pieces, killing the driver of the reinforced Mercedes in the process. A complete idiot. Was he trying to kill the driver or the passenger who sits on the back seat of the car not the front seat. When will these fools at Al-Qaeda headquarters learn these intricacies of suicide bombing. well he has saved the Prime minister in waiting hassle of going to his constituencies and speaking to the people. He instead delivers lectures over telephone quite similar to another traitor of the country who does so from the comfort of foreign land.
   Well the ordinary man has every right to be frightened at all this. In a country where a Prime minister has been reduced to the confines of his fort like home and can no longer appear in public what right does an ordinary man has to ask for his safety?

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...
