Sher Afghan & Arbab Rahim

There is a lot of hue and cry on the way these two members of Musharraf league have been treated in the past few days. All kind of apologetic behaviour is in vogue and the ever so double sided thugs of MQM want their point of view to be heard on every channel. Suddenly the civil society has been turned into the under dog and the MQM mafia wants to take the upper hand. I watch all this an amazement. The memories of the public are short lived and traumas are forgotten earlier then they should be.
I personally do not like the Niazi or Rahim bashing or for that matter ill treatment of any Pakistani. But to my mind there is no reason for the civil society to be apologetic to anyone, least the MQM and Musharraf league. We have no reason to yield a single step in our noble struggle against these mafia running thugs.
I think every citizen of this country has equal rights to protection of his/her life and property and honor. Why is it then that the same Arbab Rahim gets away with publically slapping someone yet an attempt at venting anger against his tyrannical rule is taken so seriously? When Saddam Hussain was toppled in Iraq his statue was paraded on the roads with people slapping its head with their shoes to show their disgust. All of this took with the consent of and in full view of those who claim to be a benchmark in devising human behavior and provide the sole certificate of proper conduct to anyone in this world. This action of the general public was considered an act worth appreciation. But when Arbab Rahim _ a tyrant no less than Saddam _ is made the target of similar venting of anger it becomes an icon of conduct of our society. I would consider this no less than a case of double standards.
Similarly Sher Afghan Niazi is one of the most out spoken supporters of a dictator who brought unto us the massacres of the Balochis, Pashtuns and the students of Lal Masjid. If he becomes the target of innocent venting of anger then who is to blame?
I think we should take time to remember all the pain the people of Pakistan went through to bring down the tyrannical rule. We should not forget the 45 people who lost their lives on 12th May, neither should we forgive those who brought this upon us. All I ask for is justice be brought to the door step of those who mercilessly killed the people of Pakistan. Is it too much to ask for?

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...
