Pencil

Where is my pencil? Heck! It was here just a moment ago on my table. Oh! It must be under this book. No! It isn't there. OK then it must be under that book. Hiding from my searchlights. But Na! not there either. Try looking for it in your graduation mug which holds all your writing ad highlighting weaponry. Alas! can't see it there. Hell where has the damn pencil vanished? Its not a needle and nor is my table a haystack that I can't find one simple looking pencil. Then there is only one more possibility and that is you must have dropped it off the table. It must have slipped or something. Oh no! Now I will have to move myself _my so important self _ and look for it under the table. Well I am not ready to undertake this huge task. Atleast not now. It is a gigantic, mammoth of a thing to move myself and look for it down there. Understandably I am not ready for this endeavour right now. Let us postpone it till some other time and use a spare pencil for the moment. Now thats some idea!
Having left the mystery a bit unsolved I shook off all the thoughts of finding my lost pencil and moved my hand towards the mug to fetch the other one. My searchlights fell upon my reaching hand and lo and behold! I see a remarkable sight. A miracle of sorts. There is my lost pencil, tucked in between my fingers like a cigarette in a chain smoker's hand while all the while I had gone crazy looking for it all around me.

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...
