Dawn Paratha

Ever since I have descended on this country I have had to come to terms with a new breed of parathas.  The breed that I was not accustomed to consuming back in my own country.  Back home it used to be a delicious serving made by the loving hands of my mother and baked on just the right heat and with just the right amount of original butter.  layers were both distinct and palpable on the palate.  A very mouth watering retreat that I will now miss for the rest of my life.  Anyway's I am supposed to be talking about the paratha that is Dawn paratha.  I have recently tried it and i do not like it.  the problem with this Pakistani company is that it is greedy and wants more out of less.  Its not so bad when it comes to taste.  I would say its just OK.  The problem lies in the quantity and the size of the serving.  Dawn manages to package lighter weight smaller parathay in the same standard packaging that other competitors use for bulkier larger and more parathay.  Since the battle of taste is also a precarious one for dawn I have decided to opt for the alternative brand that offers more for less with the same or better taste.  why should i be buying three Dawn parathay for 3 bucks when I can buy 4 parathay in the same price.

Pakistani companies will have to change the way they do business abroad.  They can skin the poor Pakistani nation in the country but they can not manage to do that anywhere else since we have too many choices.  It hurts me to be buying anything other than a Pakistani brand but when I certainly can not do these companies any favor if they try and be dumb about the way they do business.

So you people at Dawn remember that the Pakistani business model only works on poor Pakistanis in their own country not anywhere else in the world.

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...

Elections 08 V

In the election results of the year 33 former ministers who were closely associated with Musharraf have lost their seats. PML-Q has suffered losses to the seats of those who were stalwarts of the previous administration and were thought to be close to Musharraf himself. the results express more so a disgust and hatred with Musharraf and anything even closely related to him. Otherwise PML-Q has been able to win seats of those members who were not closely associated with Musharraf. So we can safely conclude that this is a an anti Musharraf vote and not a pro PPP or PML-N or ANP vote. In other news the Govt. is now thinking of letting go of the Chief Justice of Pakistan who has been kept under illegal house arrest since November 3, 2007. Aitizaz Ahsan was freed not until the last minutes before election and now Chief Justice's imminent freedom spell something very fishy. What was so important about him that he was not released before elections? What special situation has arise...

Pakistan Earthquake

It was terrifying to say the least. We have often heard the proverb being used again and again but this one was a real earth mover. It occurred at about 52 minutes past 8 in the morning while most of our urban population was still asleep in their homes. The jolts kept on coming for about a minute and 10 seconds and then there were lighter jolts in the evening. I was fulfilling my new found glory in the field of gardening when our tractor started shaking like mad. It was literally heaving its huge heavy body sideways like some shaky pendulum.    Then my father called in and told me that the quake had been hard on Rawalpindi and Islamabad. I talked to my relatives there to ensure that they were safe and away from harm's way. Afterwards I switched on the Television. Thus starts my cynicism for the whole event!    The anchor on the TV was so disturbed that he could not even tell the story right. At one point in time he is telling us all the reports fro...
