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...

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...
