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...

Gluttony

There has been a recurring thought in my mind over the past many many months.  Every time I sit on the table to eat food with my  family  I thank God for giving me this opportunity to sit down and enjoy one of the basic needs of living beings.  Apart from the ability to sit down and eat with family I also do enjoy the absolute variety of tastes that are reaching my taste buds.  It is indeed a fact that our table is almost always stuffed with different  flavours by virtue of quite intricately cooked foods with lots of love.

XBOX ONE controller

I have been using the new xbox for many days now. The most important part of the console is obviously it's controller as this is the part we interact with most. In comparison to the xbox 360 controller the build quality of this controller seems slightly compromised. There is little counter weight in the wings of this controller and therefore it does not feel quite as sturdy in hand as the old one. However the shape has been elongated a bit and this actually probably compensates for the weight issue. All the buttons are within reach of my fingers which is good. One thing I have liked about the xbox controller is the snug fit in my hands. This is unlike sony's six axis controller. Those are obviously made for smaller hands. The sony controllers are much sturdier as I have learnt over the years I have had the play station. They took a lot of beating but came out winning. I don't think I expect same quality from the xbox controllers.  Also I have been getting a taste of Microso...
