DrPak

One recent discoveries on the
is DrPak. This blogger whom I need to know more than I do know right now is a Pakistani doctor who like me is getting ready to take his USMLEs. It seems that he has been reading me and Usman for sometime now and I am sure Usman will be much pleased to know that he loves The Beetles.
He comments
Its so refreshing to come across young paki doctors who think about things other than medicine. Who talk about literature, music, sex, love, friendships, life, etc etc... After being stuck in Peshawar for 6 years, it comes as a breath of fresh air. Theres a lot to share.

Some interesting facts about our new found blogger can be read in some of his earlier posts and thus I quote
I've had a bad five years in medical school. In the college (they dont call it medical school over here and my institute of learning is a college, not a university) I go to, it lasts about 5 years, not four. Were old, broken men and women by the time we are spit out of the tail-end of the system; as opposed to the bright-eyed, enthusiastic youngsters we were entering it.
   Here are my current goals:
  • To conquer my bad study habits once and for all!

  • To understand why I do things that I know will harm my chances of self-improvement.

  • To pass final year with excellent marks (i.e. grades).

  • To overcome my low self-esteem, preferably by achieving my goals.

  • To become a better human being. More honest, more dependable, less irritable, kinder, gentler...

    •    After I pass my final year exam with brilliant grades, I will proceed to study for my USMLE exams so I can work as a resident, and later as a fellow in the US for a number of years.

    This surely is a must read blog on regular basis. One of the primary motives for me would be to keep in touch for both of us have similar goals and then again we both plan to take our USMLEs at the same time and God knows we might meet up on our exam day.

    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...

    Elections 08 V

    In the election results of the year 33 former ministers who were closely associated with Musharraf have lost their seats. PML-Q has suffered losses to the seats of those who were stalwarts of the previous administration and were thought to be close to Musharraf himself. the results express more so a disgust and hatred with Musharraf and anything even closely related to him. Otherwise PML-Q has been able to win seats of those members who were not closely associated with Musharraf. So we can safely conclude that this is a an anti Musharraf vote and not a pro PPP or PML-N or ANP vote. In other news the Govt. is now thinking of letting go of the Chief Justice of Pakistan who has been kept under illegal house arrest since November 3, 2007. Aitizaz Ahsan was freed not until the last minutes before election and now Chief Justice's imminent freedom spell something very fishy. What was so important about him that he was not released before elections? What special situation has arise...

    Pakistan Earthquake

    It was terrifying to say the least. We have often heard the proverb being used again and again but this one was a real earth mover. It occurred at about 52 minutes past 8 in the morning while most of our urban population was still asleep in their homes. The jolts kept on coming for about a minute and 10 seconds and then there were lighter jolts in the evening. I was fulfilling my new found glory in the field of gardening when our tractor started shaking like mad. It was literally heaving its huge heavy body sideways like some shaky pendulum.    Then my father called in and told me that the quake had been hard on Rawalpindi and Islamabad. I talked to my relatives there to ensure that they were safe and away from harm's way. Afterwards I switched on the Television. Thus starts my cynicism for the whole event!    The anchor on the TV was so disturbed that he could not even tell the story right. At one point in time he is telling us all the reports fro...
