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...

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...

Xbox ONE

I have recently purchased the newest version of Microsoft's gaming consoles, the Xbox One . This is a shift from my prior gaming system which was Sony's PS3 . I loved PS3 and preferred it over Xbox 360 for many reasons. It was smarter looking, faster, could play Blu rays, good games and all my friends had PS3s. However the most like able thing about it was the free online game play that Microsoft does not allow. Things I did not appreciate in Sony were its user interface. The move bundle was a waste of money for all intent and purposes as I used it once in the past two years. So this time around I decided to go with Microsoft's game console. The decision was not easy. Obviously PS4 has some good press out there and it is a step forward in technology. However now Xbox can play blu rays too. Also now both consoles require a subscription service for online game play. This sort of made me feel like Sony didn't care for us anymore. I guess paying money might mean better e...
