Luqman the Traitor

BBC Urdu has a beautiful article on the way Musharraf has hijacked the country of 160 million souls. I advise everyone to give it a read. But my topic of concern is not the judges or the present combination of them that we call supreme court. I am concerned with the media. One by one the news channels are coming back on air. Almost all the TV channels have bowed down to the pressure. The last one to fall was ARY Oneworld that appeared back on air yesterday. Aaj was already on air and so were a plethora of other non consequential channels that abound on our cable networks. It makes me wonder whether these channels are really fighting for freedom of media or just have a different higher price tag attached to them. Almost all the channels that have come back on air have lost their crunch programmes from the lineup. but still they say they have fought for their freedom and have not bowed down to the dictator's pressure. The famous Luqman of Luqman.com on Business plus has accepted a position in the care taker cabinet. It is his reward for going with the tyrant's punch line.
I am ashamed of all such people who exist on the face of this country. I am ashamed that they are too many. But i am sure that they will suffer one day. I am sure that no matter how much they let us down they will be held accountable one day for all their actions. Time doesn't stop its ebb and flow and in the greater run of things all that matters is the dignity and sincerity of your actions. The greater good in my nation will not forget traitors like Luqman and company.

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...
