23

23rd March 1940 was the blessed day when Pakistan resolution was passed in the annual convention of All India Muslim League. The foundation stone for the country was laid and the struggle for this piece of land started in earnest. God be our witness we accomplished a gigantic task in no more than 7 years from the day this resolution was passed. 23rd March 1940 was really a turning point in the history of Muslim nation in the sub-continent. We won what was rightfully ours to begin with _ freedom. This freedom came at a costly price but still it was worth it and if our short history is any measure most of us have cashed in on the deal pretty much in lust and dollars. It has been a win win situation for the rulers and loose loose situation for the common man who is yet to see the real side of freedom. The disturbing news is that more and more people are joining the ruler class and starting to tear at the pieces of this land. May God guide us to the right path.
If army rule is considered any measure of flip side of lady luck then we have had more than enough in this regard. More than half of our existence has passed under tyrannical rule of dictators from the army. This year is no different and there is hope _ in the evil circles _ that next will not be any different, either.
They say hope spring is eternal. I am a firm believer of the saying. Let us all hope that this spring reveals something fruitful burried underneath it soon or else...

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...
