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...

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...

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...
