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...

    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...
