Study 3

The only way to keep my fingers from freezing is to keep on typing on the keyboard. The temperatures have gone down considerably recently. And i am sitting outside the library waiting for my sister to arrive and pick me up. This day marks the first day of my step 3 prep. thus far all the steps i have taken in USMLE's direction have been more or less disasters. Let us see what this steps brings me. More agony and despair? My story of Steps has been one of constant troubles. I hoped to do matter but sometimes circumstances dictate otherwise. And it is very strange that after every exam you think for a while that this is the last one in the series i will ever take and life will become the promised bed of roses. It is sad that this never happens. Life is a constant struggle. A struggle in which a battle lost goes a long way in screwing you up than ten won. So many times you are judged by the examinations that you take and sometimes one mistake becomes a black spot on the white scarf. Nothing can undo it and nothing can make the scar go away.
But what is the essence of man anyway? what is that one thing that you can use for sure to judge and place a man where he deserves to be placed? If these exams are to be cast side and replaced then what is that one thing? I think these exams are good judge and truly tell you where you stand. I should stop finding refuge in teh thought that i just didn't do better because i happened to strike the damn bad luck. The simple fact is i did as well as i was made of and couldn't have done any better for anything. Important thing is i should learn a lesson and try and improve on my performance. Not that it matters anymore.

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...
