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...

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...

Tax skirting by hospital systems?

The issue of avoiding federal taxes is in the news these days with Apple being in the spotlight.  Most of the times big companies avoid paying US taxes by skirting their profits to tax havens.  Healthcare giants can do the same theoretically.  Imagine if there were a health care giant that opens up shop in tax haven islands and then uses the same technique that commercial entities use to skirt their profits out of the country, thereby avoiding taxes.  This is very much possible.  The of shore clinics can be potentially used to complicate the tax return filing system here in US.  I could never understand why a completely US hospital system would like to open up a clinic in Bahamas.  These clinics are portrayed as the global reach of the entity but who do they actually serve.  We never hear about them in press or public.  These clinics are apparently manned by some doctors we never hear about.  How does this system work?  I really do...
