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...

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...
