The Scene

The scene is getting intense by the moment. I am running against time here. I am so used to it now that it really doesn't matter in that terms to me anymore. Things don't bother me on that plane. It is the other planes that have gone completely tangential to my life and myself. These are a tad bit worrying at times. Otherwise who really cares how it goes on any test? All is fate and nothing but fate. We can be instruments at the hands of fate and if we are lucky and work hard we can be good instruments. But we can not be fate itself. So why bother beyond a certain point? Why bother at all? I am not preaching any sort of complacency because that is the ultimate sin in my dictionary. All I mean to say is one must have sound and firm ground to fall back on in case it is needed. In my case I need to fall back on a lot of times and that has made me develop a firm belief on the inevitability of inevitable.
I did miraculous work just day before yesterday. Did some satisfactory work yesterday and will be finishing this day on a high note as well. I am starting to see that I have to work very very hard to accomplish what I have set for and that is simple logic. But the real problem is that I have this inherent tendency to complicate fairly simple tasks. Simple phenomenon can be so complex and interwoven that one can hardly see all the nitty gritty from the surface. My task is also not that simple it has a lot of hiccups too. Some to be expected and others just will spring out of nowhere, I am sure. But again didn't I believe in fate and that demands that I let it be. Let everything be in the end.
Tell me what does anything matter at all? In the real terms, in the real worth, is anything worth what it is said to be? Do things, people, places, objects, phenomena, laws, by-laws, feelings, emotions anything and everything has any real worth or significance? I really wouldn't be a judge on that. Simply because I fail to see any real purpose to our lives. We live and die and spend our lives on hope. Hope is such a delicate nick name for fate. In the end everyone and everything is forgotten, and even if not so, stops mattering to anyone and everyone. Who cares if Alexander conquered the world? Who cares if Bush does the same? Who cares if a child dies every 20 seconds? Who cares if another is born every other? Who cares Pakistan wins or looses its interests in the world? Who is that ultimate judge who really cares? Don't tell me its God who cares because He does not. Simply because He does not need to and He is above all this petty human life. He is beyond all this _ or is He? I wouldn't be a judge to that either. I believe in His omnipotence and omnipresence and this requires me to believe and hope that He will give me an answer one day!
Till that day I am doing what everyone is doing _ spending their lives just for the sake of spending their lives. I have no desire to be a big gun or anything. I just don't want to be like everyone else around me. Helpless and hapless.
Yes Matchbox 20 is one of my favourite bands.

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...

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...

Xbox ONE

I have recently purchased the newest version of Microsoft's gaming consoles, the Xbox One . This is a shift from my prior gaming system which was Sony's PS3 . I loved PS3 and preferred it over Xbox 360 for many reasons. It was smarter looking, faster, could play Blu rays, good games and all my friends had PS3s. However the most like able thing about it was the free online game play that Microsoft does not allow. Things I did not appreciate in Sony were its user interface. The move bundle was a waste of money for all intent and purposes as I used it once in the past two years. So this time around I decided to go with Microsoft's game console. The decision was not easy. Obviously PS4 has some good press out there and it is a step forward in technology. However now Xbox can play blu rays too. Also now both consoles require a subscription service for online game play. This sort of made me feel like Sony didn't care for us anymore. I guess paying money might mean better e...
