Trivia

I have finished 4 months of my house job at PIMS. It has been a mixed experience so far. I have finally grown used to the place and am much more comfortable with the surroundings. Although much of what PIMS is remains the same maybe its me who has changed to accommodate.
I am planning on leaving for US in November this year. The interview season has already begun and interview calls are pouring in left right and everywhere except on me. InshaAllah that will change with the turn of calender.
It has been sometime since i expressed my exasperation at the political obscenities in this country. Then again, there is nothing left to be said in the scenario that prevails. It is chaos and uncertainty that grips me and my nation. Perhaps these uncertainties are the worst enemies of the state. Without a forceful point of view everyone feels that he/she has no role left to play in the society they inhabit. this brings on the demise of the utility of person as part of the society and thus starts a spiral that leads to nothing but destruction. So, are we destined for that path? To be very honest i don't really know. I am as confused as anyone out there. Keeping my fingers crossed!

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...
