SAARC

I was listening to the recent SAARC summit on our television. I got a chance to listen to the speech by the Indian Prime Minister. I was listening to this great Indian economist Prime Minister for the first time ever. His speech was mostly objective based and to the point. He meant business and was ready to put forward many relative incentives for the development of cooperation amongst the member countries of the state.
   More important thing is that I got this feeling of realization in speech. He knew he was the head of state of one of the most powerful countries in the state and thus he realized that he has to talk business. He realized fully that he needs to tap at various human and natural resources in order to develop into a giant. He, most of all, realized that providing opportunities for proper higher education were an absolute must if we wanted to move forward.
   During his speech he put forward many new, or not so new, ideas. Most important for me was the one involving the field of medicine. He proposed to build an infrastructure for telemedicine in the member countries. He even proposed to build the infrastructure with the already present expertise in his country. If this idea is put into realization this would mean real go forward for the ailing health systems of the member countries. Also in view of the changing world it is almost imperative to build partnerships in the health sector. All the member countries can benefit from the sharing of knowledge in this field. Furthermore this collaboration can pave the way for decreasing tension across many borders. Medicine knows no frontiers it has no boundaries it is for all humanity. This spirit can be used to bring about real change.
   The Indian Prime Minister also talked about building an educational network in the member countries for which he proposed establishing a university. I think this proposal is a novel idea and should be realized.
   SAARC is known for its inability to put ideas into practice. This has been mainly because of the regional tension amongst the member countries. It is high time now that we work together for bringing a change to the living conditions of the population that inhabits this region. We must also work towards bringing stability in the political processes of the member countries. Only then can we realize our goals.
   It is another good news, however, that China is participating in this meeting as an observer. This obviously points towards its wish to join the forum. Since China is the upcoming economy of the world all the member states can benefit from its subsequent induction into the association.

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...
