I have been a little busy of late. Been to Islamabad and enjoyed the marvelous weather over there, for a very short while that I was there. Applied for my visa too in the meanwhile. I hope to be awarded one by the first of the next month if everything goes as planned and hoped.
   One thing that I have so realized in this short trip of mine is the fact that this place is worst than anywhere could be. One doesn't realize the misery until he gets an outside perspective to hold onto. For the past five odd months I have been bogged down by excessive work and failures at multiple points and more. Hiccups see no end! Even then there was little realization on my part that I needed to get a break from these needless stresses.Most certainly pain has its own way of keeping you addicted to it. I had become an addict. Simple and plain. I still am.
   For some odd reason Hasan Bin Saba and his dramatic heaven have occupied my mind since yesterday. The idea keeps on spinning around in my mind and I see many analogies to the same that disheartens me even more.
   Then there arose this theory about schizophrenics. For the sake of my theory suppose that schizophrenics have brains that work at a higher baseline than a normal brain would. This, I say is, something genetically inherited by such brains or environmentally triggered. And now the brain of a schizophrenic, in order to keep itself working at a higher baseline, creates a a world of its own in a certain portion to which it dedicates certain amount of processing. That world is Schizophrenic's other world of pseudo reality. From the little knowledge that I have about the disease (huh and then I say I am a doctor!) I know that the symptoms experienced by the schizophrenics are all pseudo phenomenon which mostly obey natural laws. Since our brains are tied by space and time thus there hallucinations and paranoia obey worldly laws of nature. Science supports the idea by proving that schizophrenic brains have higher activity levels than normal brains. So can it be that schizophrenia is brain's way of keeping itself busy. Brain's game to keep itself involved, maybe.

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...
