Back in town

I am back in town after a week long hiatus. Tried posting from the university but every post got lost in the blogger window...just vanished in thin air! Anyways its over. The big day has passed as swiftly as it arrived. I have the degree in my hand and boy am I glad that I have graduated with the rest of the class. A true feeling of elation and dignity had me overwhelmed the very moment I laid my hands on this white piece of paper that has my name and signatures of Aga Khan (The chancellor) and David Taylor (The Provost) and Shams Kasim Lakha (The President). My amman was there to witness the event and I am sure she must be a proud mother.
The oath taking was one hell of a scene when all the doctors were pledging in one single voice to uphold the sanctity of their profession and act by the laws and ethics of their field. When everyone pledged that he/she will bring health and happiness to this world. It was awsome. I hope Allah accepts our pledge and gives us the courage to fulfill it. Ameen!
Soon after the graduation ceremony was over we had one experience that we had so missed all these five years in Karachi. One that most of our seniors and juniors all around had had the honour of going through and a few lucky ones even more than once. We were robbed in broad day light in front of a hundred people. You think I am kidding I am not. We were out for lunch when we were robbed of our mobiles in broad day light at gun point. Uzer tried to resist and got shot at but luckily for him and us all the chamber was empty and we didn't give our guests a second opportunity to fire rather convinced _ more so pleaded to _ our innocent friend that he give away his mobile so that we are saved from imminent bloodshed. He thankfully complied with the idea and the day was saved at the cost of mobile phones.

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...
