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...

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...
