A walk in the park

I take one about everyday now. Not the usual walk in the park, as the phrase goes, but the unusual one. It is a bit brisk on the pace and has no green grass under my feet. But still I would prefer to call my thirty minute exercising routine a walk in the park. The endorphins are euphoric and bring the stress levels down considerably. Besides that my body gets time to get out of the wedlock that it has with the study chair. This is a true prototype eastern wedlock. Both are happy and unhappy with each other at the same time. The study chair has to embrace my body and there is no way out while my whole self starts aching after a usual day of rocking. Numbness that overcomes different areas of the body is not ecstatic at all yet the movement of the limbs is surely not to be missed for a dance of a sufi soul.
Water is a powerful and obstinate force. If it falls on the rock for a long period of time it gets its way eventually. Similar analogies can be seen in human mentality and attitudes. No wonder they proclaim that practice makes a man perfect. You can consider my weight to be the water that is falling down upon the rock like chair. It has already started to make way, although I am not really sure which way!
Much of what happens tomorrow depends on what you do today. Same way in 'as you so so shall you reap.' Or a more pessimistic way of depicting the thought would be 'Those who dig a hole for others, themselves fall into it.' But no one ever cared to explain what happens if you dig a hole for yourself in the first place. Does that lead to the same spirit of reciprocity or less? I have many point of views about this but do not have time to enlighten this webspace with all of them save one.
I think when you self destroy yourself you not only destroy yourself but many more who are known as your dependents either by chance or choice. Undoubtedly no human lives outside the sphere of the society and society is nothing but interaction of physical and psychological means. I have been reading a lot of newspaper reports where a mother of four (or five) kills herself but only after she has secured the same fate for all her dependents namely her children. I want to assure you that this example does not fall under the premise of above discussion. It is another anomaly of our society that I will deal with some other time. But before I close this discussion I will want to visit one other quotable that must go something like this if translated from its parent language, 'When the ship sinks it takes all the passenger along with it.'

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...

Gluttony

There has been a recurring thought in my mind over the past many many months.  Every time I sit on the table to eat food with my  family  I thank God for giving me this opportunity to sit down and enjoy one of the basic needs of living beings.  Apart from the ability to sit down and eat with family I also do enjoy the absolute variety of tastes that are reaching my taste buds.  It is indeed a fact that our table is almost always stuffed with different  flavours by virtue of quite intricately cooked foods with lots of love.

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...
