Eid mubarak to everyone! One of the funniest things about Eid being declared by the government is the speech that the Minister of Islamic Affairs, Huliel, gets to give. It’s the only public time he gets so he takes full advantage of it, which for fasting Muslims translates to nothing more than excessive suspense. It […]

So since last week’s attempt to start a little campaign regarding the incredibly bad level of service Orange Jordan offers its Internet customers, my Internet connection has been down. Some people have even fueled my head with conspiracy theories but I wouldn’t go that far. It is however ironic that just when I was starting […]

I have a bone to pick with these government and royal motorcades that careen through the streets of the capital at stellar speeds, stopping for no one and breaking the speed limit by leaps and bounds.

A while back, I decided to change up mosques for Friday prayer due to a lack of inspiration. Essentially, I’ve spent the past two years trying to find one that had something to offer but alas, it seems recycled material is what passes for a good khutba (sermon) these days. I even started a pet […]

Your recent joining of […]

My Internet subscription ended a few days ago (I wish they had grace periods or something) and I have been generally without a connection for the past weeks, which, along with work, explains my blogging absence. I am partly to blame due to the fact that I’ve been taking my time “shopping” for a “good” […]

It’s been a long week so far. I’m here in London to attend two different conferences and it’s been an interesting ride. I apologize for the lack of posting but, on the other hand, I’ve also been getting a lot of fascinating feedback on some of the posts published here lately. The general tone of […]
