What we are

Its late in the night and with every passing minute my eyes are getting heavier with sleep.  I am on call tomorrow and it is a tiring month that has drained all my energies out of me.  I used to think that if there is one thing that doesn’t tire me that is work.  But I think I was wrong.  It is not totally morale boosting when your patients start dying around you and you can’t seem to figure out the cause.  I do try hard and obviously do not want any one to be leaving this world earlier than they should.  But sometimes things happen that are not under my control and they happen fast.  The last week has been a demoralizing one for me.

Anyways the reason I started to write today was to compliment a good article by one of my friends.  I think we the Pakistanis have to get some morale boosting going very soon.  We have to start thinking of ourselves as not the losers but as the ones who are important enough to matter in this world.  It is time that we started playing some shots on the front foot here.  This pitch has been greased by out enemies a lot and is not a perfect playing surface neither is it fair.  But this is part of life and we have to live with it.

I mean I am sick and tired of acting as the menial on the scale.  My people are giving up their lives for the safety and security of this thank less no good world and all I get is more piercing questions about what can be done more.  My people have sacrificed more lives in this war against terror than any other country in this world.  There is trauma of war everywhere in my country.  There is psychological depression on every face and there is no hope left just because we chose to fight a war for someone else in our courtyard.  Some of us tried to benefit as mercenaries and the rest of us are paying the price for that role.  A heavy price.

Then why is it that this world fails to recognize our sacrifices?  I think we can ask this question in history and then very well understand that the fault lies in us for not making people thank us.  We have failed to publicize our sacrifices and soon will become the Palestinians who are thought of but never cared about in the larger scale of things.

We should get our act together and find our place ourselves.  No one will do this for us.

I like the post and for the very first time saw a piece of good writing highlighting that whatever happening here in pakistan is not only to shed tears. Life is full of ups and down and so does the life span of a nattion. All we need to focus what and how we can make a differnece by focusing or role and the output will be better.

Also i truly agree where you saying "There is trauma of war everywhere in my country. There is psychological depression on every face and there is no hope left just because we chose to fight a war for someone else in our courtyard. Some of us tried to benefit as mercenaries and the rest of us are paying the price for that role. A heavy price."

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...
