A great place to study.
   Yes this is the name of the article written by the US ambassador in Pakistan and deals with the issue of foreign medical students in the land of the free. The whole article is replete with false claims and assurances that is so characteristic of the US government. At one point in time the honourable writer makes us believe that after the installation of Student and Exchange Visitor System it has become ever so easy for the aspiring students to enter states in peace. The writer talks of foreign medical students and the benefit they bring to the US society both in terms of cultural diversity and monetary inflow. He tells us of new scholarships being given to help students study in states. In the end he ends his essay with the following note,
For Pakistanis thinking about your own future, I strongly recommend that you consider higher education in the United States. With more than 3600 fully accredited institutions of higher education, America offers numerous options from which to choose. Please contact the appropriate Education USA advising center cited above for more information. When you do you will find that the United States is not only a welcoming safe place to visit, but a great place to study.

I ask just one thing from this Mr. Crocker, whom is he bullshitting?
With almost 42% of student visas arriving late last year and many more being rejected since then I see it as a mere waste of money. What I think is that this essay is meant to drive more innocent fools towards applying for a visa in false hope of getting one and in the process loosing hundreds of dollars worth of revenue to American overlords.

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...

Gluttony

There has been a recurring thought in my mind over the past many many months.  Every time I sit on the table to eat food with my  family  I thank God for giving me this opportunity to sit down and enjoy one of the basic needs of living beings.  Apart from the ability to sit down and eat with family I also do enjoy the absolute variety of tastes that are reaching my taste buds.  It is indeed a fact that our table is almost always stuffed with different  flavours by virtue of quite intricately cooked foods with lots of love.

XBOX ONE controller

I have been using the new xbox for many days now. The most important part of the console is obviously it's controller as this is the part we interact with most. In comparison to the xbox 360 controller the build quality of this controller seems slightly compromised. There is little counter weight in the wings of this controller and therefore it does not feel quite as sturdy in hand as the old one. However the shape has been elongated a bit and this actually probably compensates for the weight issue. All the buttons are within reach of my fingers which is good. One thing I have liked about the xbox controller is the snug fit in my hands. This is unlike sony's six axis controller. Those are obviously made for smaller hands. The sony controllers are much sturdier as I have learnt over the years I have had the play station. They took a lot of beating but came out winning. I don't think I expect same quality from the xbox controllers.  Also I have been getting a taste of Microso...
