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...

iPad 2

The new iPad is worth it's money. Sleek slender design is a plus and so is the light weight. I am not really impressed by the camera as the pictures with both front and back cameras are pixelated and very amateurish looking. It's handy in the sense that I can carry it around while making rounds and access patient information on the go. This makes life easier and for someone like myself this means much less paper waste. I think one added advantage is that I will waste less time on writing down all the information on a piece of paper every morning and will be able to pull it up anytime I want to do so or need to do so. This gives me more time to think and reflect on the patient and spend more time with the patient rather than time in front of a bulky computer. There are new apps I am discovering every day. However there is still dearth of good medical apps that have been modeled for iPad. This makes the productivity of the iPad a little less but still the benefits of having a w...

Elections '08

Parliamentary Elections are just 12 hours away in Pakistan. Unlike all previous elections i have reached the voting age for these elections. Now i can use my right to vote to select a candidate that i think represents future and progress. I can be part of the democratic process. I can be a miniature vector of change or towards change. But i will not use my right to vote. that means i will not participate in the process of electing representatives who will rule my country and my fate for the next five years, even more if they get their way like this present dictator, Musharraf. In doing so i will loose my right to object to any actions of the 'elected', more so selected representatives of this country. but this can be debated and in most probability i will not pass from any opportunity to pointing out wrong doings and mischief in the character of those who lead my unfortunate country in the future. I will not vote because i know the outcomes of the elections have been pr...
