Oval Test

In the past hour or so i have read quite some views on the cricket controversy that arose in the test match yesterday. And all that reading has just made my resolve to back my team stronger. It is a shame the way Hair acted in the match. It is more of a shame that the match referee failed to play his part. It is much more shameful the way the chairman of the PCB tried to display the picture on the ground through his useless interview. The interview that he gave will prove to be the battering rod that will be used by the world to batter Inzi and his team and subsequently Pakistani nation.
I think two things are obvious. First that the flwaed management of the Pakistnai team is clear to everyone. There was no one in the leadership role and when inzimam tried to take a stand he was budged by the diplomatic bull shit of PCB board members.
Second thing that is crystal clear is the failure of ICC. ICC system failed to respond to the situation and the match referee did nothing. There were two spare umpires in the ground. they should have been used to continue the match. But all this is possible if a decision had been taken there and then. No such thing happened.
Then i would be ashamed by the way our chairman and the team acted. Had they decided to protest they should have done it the very instance Hair made the panelty. And once the decision had been made they should have left the field to never come back until the umpire took back his allegations and issued a full apology in writing.
I can't agree with Imran Khan more when he says in hios editorial that we must have made an even stronger protest. Hair is indeed a Hitler on ground.
I would back my team and want Hair not only off the panel of umpires but also made to issue a written unconditional apology to not only the team but the whole nation that he has so conveniently hurt.
Even his facial expressions when he was changing the ball expressed disgust and taunt. No self respecting team captain should take such an attitude and make the umpire pay.
Inzimam did the right thing. We should all back him. We should support him and hope that the team management doesn't in their bid to act moderates spoil this stand and our respect as a nation. There is nothing more important than the honour that we carry in our lives and no one has a right to be making allegations without any proof.
Inzi you are the man and we are with you.
More here, here and here.

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...
