Mai

I have always wanted to write about this character that has plagued our national image for almost 2 years now. There was always something so very irritating about her. At first I gave it to my thoughts of chauvinism but gradually I came to see the light. I knew that Mukhtaran Mai was playing in the hands of evil. Ever since she was invited to US of A and her 10 minute post headline news special on CNN I had strong feelings for her insincerity towards her cause of feminism.
   Having been brought up in a rural setting myself I had strong suspicions in believing in the authenticity of the Mai story from the very beginning. I still don't have faith in all what media has painted. But since I have no credible news source I can't deny her version of the story. Having said that I think even if her cause was true she has, now, fallen into the hands of evil doers.
   I don't understand the logic behind her going to a country which can't boast of very high records in rape cases itself. The level of respect offered to females in west is much more pathetic than in our country. Then the only reason she went there could be MONEY. Because this doesn't make sense that you plead your case in front of a jury which is itself guilty of similar crimes. Anyways that women has never seemed sincere to me from day one. There is definitely something fishy. But then again this is my opinion and I have a right to an opinion however absurd it might seem to you. But read this interesting piece of article from an Urdu daily.

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...
