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...

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...
