When I started writing thesis.....

-
Writing a doctoral thesis, or to put it right, starting to write a scientific doctoral thesis is a difficult job. This is due to several factors. You have to focus, FOCUS on one thing continuously for days, and sometimes for weeks..... Every single line in the whole stuff should be connected from front and behind with its neighbors and so on and so forth.

And to focus becomes difficult when there are so many things happening around. Well, sometimes it seems as they have started to happen only when I started writing mine. I will quote few examples.

As I started to make a plan for writing one, Roger Federer started winning his Wimbledon matches. And he went on to win the Grand Slam, making history. All of it was so exciting that even if I wasn't watching it, I wouldn't have been able to concentrate. So I watched.... live tennis....

And I skyped with my family...... Salaar....

Then, during the same time, we had seminar of our team...... seminar attended....

And I skyped with my family..... Salaar....

Then Roger Federer became world No 1..... reading news....

And I skyped with my family..... Salaar.... 

Then Raja Pervez Ashraf became Pakistan's prime minister....... tv shows....

And I skyped with my family..... Salaar....

Then Pakistan opened supply routes for NATO....... tv shows.....

And I skyped with my family..... Salaar....

With every news happening, all tv channels start talking about that..... tv shows.....

And I skyped with my family..... Salaar....

Then Pakistan cricket team started touring Sri Lanka...... live cricket....

And I skyped with my family..... Salaar....

Then it started summer and summer shopping festival..... shopping....

And I skyped with my family..... Salaar....

Then I received acceptance of my poster from New Orleans and now I have to start applying for visa to go to United States to attend the meeting...... dossier preparation....

And I skyped with my family..... Salaar....

Then I had friends from Marseille..... cooking and eating.....

And I skyped with my family...... Salaar....

Then came 14 July, the national festival of France..... fireworks......

And I skyped with my family...... Salaar....

After shopping I received email that next scholarship is delayed... financial crisis....

And I skyped with my family...... Salaar....


Then I started Ramadan is coming.... fasting... no coffee.....


And I skyped with my family...... Salaar....


Then I heard Aamir Liaqat is back on Geotv.... Ramadan special.... twitterati.....


And I skyped with my family...... Salaar....


Then I heard the breaking news....... That BIGBOSS fame Veena Malik is on HERO TV for Ramadan soecial..... And I saw her promo..... And thats it...... twitterati......


How on earth can one concentrate on thesis when all this is happening around..... All of this at the same time......


And I still can't help skype with my family...... Salaar....

    Well, that was certainly a lot of distraction writing your thesis. I think it would be good have a time where you are disconnected from what are happenings on the world. That way, it would be easy to focus and concentrate on writing the thesis. Anyway, I hoped that all that distraction never made you lagged behind you thesis writing.

Visit to the dead "Les Catacombes de Paris"

Photoblog is a different category of sharing which Clinical Hammer was never intended to be the one. Yet I decided to take an exception and share here my visit into the belly of the city of Paris, "les Catacombes de Paris". It is a tunnel museum thing with a huge collections of human bones, roughly estimated to be holding remains of six million people. The bones are bare to touch (although prohibited) and are not behind any kind of glass or other protection. Due to inadequacy of burial place in and around the city of Paris in 17th century, a decision was made to relocate the bones of those who died long ago in a tunnel system originally related to stone mines. More can be found from wikipedia's link to The Catacombs of Paris . Place Denfert-Rochereau, Paris First entry to the dark inside Better with camera A building miniature Stairs, probably leading nowhere It was a cloudy Saturday when I got out of the subway station of Denfert-Rocher...

Of #VeenaMalik #AamirLiaqat and #Ramazan 2012

This time in Pakistan, Ramazan moon was sighted at the same time, which is a rare thing in itself. Although not starting to observe Ramazan or celebrating Eid on the same day doesn't hurt as a nation yet we are running desperately out of option to symbolize our nationhood. God may have mercy on us and the same national consensus be seen on next moon sighting too. Yet the land never runs out of controversies. Veena Malik hosting a religious show during the holy month of Ramazan was the latest one. A 30 second promo of that programme which most of people must have seen, emerged on youtube and as soon as it did so, there was a hue n cry everywhere about that programme. People talked about her character, her controversy from BIG BROTHER and the famous ISI tattoo. Then her next venture, the south Indian remake of The Dirty Picture came under discussion and so on and so forth. Conservatives as well as some liberals criticized Hero TV for coming up with such a publicity stunt. I myself...

Thanks and goodbye Mr Tendulkar

I am an ordinary fan of cricket and not an expert at all. Being honest with myself, I dislike Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar (SRT) as a cricketer. The reasons are many, and being an Indian hero is not one of them at all. I don’t deny that I have adrenaline rush much higher when I see Pakistan vs. India as compared to Ashes, yet I never hate a sportsman for his nationality only. The reasons are quite diverse, but I feel better to realize that it is time finally to say good bye to the selfish cricketer and move forward. Sachin has stayed in international cricket far more than he actually should have had. His career started sometime when I don’t even remember but after few initial years when I enjoyed watching him, I started getting bored with his presence. The range of shots, the foot work and the ever piling up of records, even the commentary started feeling sick in his presence. There used to be a fresh feeling on the other end, a new face, learning process, mistakes, new shots, and ne...
