For Mother’s Day, I decided to take Amber out for a few hours. We wandered around, watched a movie and had dinner at Joël restaurant, which features French cuisine “with Asian and Mediterranean influences.”

A Clockwork Orange
A Clockwork Orange was a weird movie according to Amber. But I liked it. I rate it 8/10.
Blast from the Past
On our recent trip to Pakistan, we wanted to document, photographically, all the places with which we had some association in our past. We didn’t succeed completely. But here are some photographs.
Islamic Traditionalism
There was a great discussion about Islam and Traditionalism spanning several blogs. Please do follow the links and read it in full. There might be a quiz later. When I am less busy, I’ll pick up some of the threads here.
Lord of War
I was sympathetic to the viewpoint of the movie against arms dealing. However, Lord of War became too full of clichés even for me. Thus, I rate it 5/10.
خدا کا دیس نکالا
پاکستان میں عام طور سے اللہ کے لئے خدا کا لفظ استعمال ہوتا تھا۔ مگر کچھ سالوں سے ایک مہم چلی ہوئی ہے کہ خدا کو اردو زبان سے نکال دیا جائے۔ کچھ مسلمان چاہتے ہیں کہ ہم اللہ کا لفظ استعمال کریں اور انگریزی میں گاڈ اور اردو میں خدا کہنا چھوڑ دیں۔
