Do the Dew!

Did the dew today, first time after AKU. Back then it comprised an important part of my breakfast, lunch and dinner with a few tosses in between. Any cold drink would do then. But since the time my stomach started sending signals in an adverse fashion to the acidic effect of these cold drinks I have had few and those too in limited quantities. Anyhow I did the dew today and very very surprisingly it didn't taste good at all!
I do remember there were times when every so called Muslim in this country vehemently recorded his expressions against these foreign cold drinks. Many arguments were sighted in favour of giving up these acidic drinks. All of a sudden it had stared to matter that these caused various ill effects on the body and teeth rotted away. Most of the prevalent diseases were in one way or the other the result of these poisonous liquids. But now things have changed back. Now there are locally made sub-standard substitutes available in the market (The foreign brands are also sub-standard). Quite surprisingly they cause no such harm to common man. No excuses are put forward in their use and abuse. It didn't matter to the general public then and it doesn't matter to it now. Those who want to consume these cold drinks keep on doing so quite unabated by the criticism they get.
These are harmful drinks and there is no doubt about it. One must try and restrict the use of any beverage that contains effervescence from CO2. Apart from disturbing the milieu of the gastrointestinal system these drinks cause tooth carries. These beverages contribute to obesity and also lead to addiction.

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...
