News channels blocked

The major Pakistani news channels, Geo News and ARY One world have been blocked from Dubai after the dictator reportedly personally exerted his pressure in internatinal circles. This means that i will not be able to listen to any proper and true news story coming out of Pakistan in US.
The extent to which this dictator has gone in curbing freedom of speech is both unprecedented and point to his loosing battle against the will of the people of Pakistan. His days are numbered and he knows that too, all very well. He is therefore shooting in the dark and everywhere he can point his two cent gun.
But on a very sad note i can notice a certain rift between major media stake holders in Pakistan. Aaj TV and Dawn News channels are back on air after they struck a compromise deal with the Govt. and temporarily suspended their crunch news programmes. The sad thing is that i was going through the website of Aaj TV and there was no mention of the extended media curbs on Geo TV and ARY One world TV. This goes on to show how money oriented this world can be. the capitalist gains overshadow all common concerns and drive people blind to imminent danger knocking at their doorsteps.
It is a time of certain shame for Aaj TV and Dawn News.
It is a time for showing perseverance against all pressure for Geo News and ARY One World and they must know the whole nation stands beside them.
From this nation standing beside business i am reminded of the apathy of my nation. the morally corrupt and decadent society that is Pakistan has as yet failed to come out on the streets with a force that it needs to show.
I have lost all my luggage while i was transporting myself from Pakistan to US. So much so that i have nothing to wear for my very first interview that is on this Monday. I am hoping that my airline is able to find my suitcases in time for my departure on Sunday.

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...
