Jabra Chowk

Musharraf seems to have lost it completely. His recent outburst at a journalist, in UK, did not serve him any better. With every passing day he seems to be more and more arrogant in his approach towards his countrymen. His words reek of disgust towards the very people he is supposed to lead. These are, but clear indications that he now fully realizes that he has lost all support in the Pakistani public. All that he wants to do now is usurp and plunder as many resources as he can before he becomes a victim of his own atrocities.
I wonder why do we forget that all the money that we collect so diligently in our life is not going to go anywhere once we have breathed our last. Afterlife or no afterlife nothing that we have in this world, either physical or emotional, is going to matter once we are dead. What is then, all this struggle for? Maybe i wouldn't say the same if i had all that power and money in my hand! But maybe!
Our dictator is a rich man, he owns (or at least he thinks) the whole country and the 'bloody civilians' living in it. What more does he want? He should learn something from the past dictators of this country. Zia was as ruthless as Musharraf (if we compensate for the different eras). When he died, in the plane crash, a jaw was found from his plane wreckage which was presumed to be Zia's. That jaw was buried in all pomp and show in the capital of our country, near the famous Faisal Mosque. All that is left of Zia is the name of the intersection close to his grave which has been named 'Jabra Chowk' (Jaw stop/intersection). I think our current dictator wants an intersection or two named after his body part or two.

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...
