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...

iPad 2

The new iPad is worth it's money. Sleek slender design is a plus and so is the light weight. I am not really impressed by the camera as the pictures with both front and back cameras are pixelated and very amateurish looking. It's handy in the sense that I can carry it around while making rounds and access patient information on the go. This makes life easier and for someone like myself this means much less paper waste. I think one added advantage is that I will waste less time on writing down all the information on a piece of paper every morning and will be able to pull it up anytime I want to do so or need to do so. This gives me more time to think and reflect on the patient and spend more time with the patient rather than time in front of a bulky computer. There are new apps I am discovering every day. However there is still dearth of good medical apps that have been modeled for iPad. This makes the productivity of the iPad a little less but still the benefits of having a w...

Elections '08

Parliamentary Elections are just 12 hours away in Pakistan. Unlike all previous elections i have reached the voting age for these elections. Now i can use my right to vote to select a candidate that i think represents future and progress. I can be part of the democratic process. I can be a miniature vector of change or towards change. But i will not use my right to vote. that means i will not participate in the process of electing representatives who will rule my country and my fate for the next five years, even more if they get their way like this present dictator, Musharraf. In doing so i will loose my right to object to any actions of the 'elected', more so selected representatives of this country. but this can be debated and in most probability i will not pass from any opportunity to pointing out wrong doings and mischief in the character of those who lead my unfortunate country in the future. I will not vote because i know the outcomes of the elections have been pr...
