Really confused about something in AYITL. Rory is repeatedly trying to get a meeting with Condé Nast. At the end of episode 2 we see her ask Logan to ask his dad to pull some strings to finally make it happen.
In the scene that follows, we’re in a magazine office in NYC. Due to the sequence of scenes, you just kind of assume this is the big Condé Nast meeting. Only then Rory says it’s for GQ, tells her mom it’s NOT for CN when her mom asks, and then I think at some point in episode 3 Rory says something like “this is why Condé Nast won’t call me back.”
So was the GQ meeting totally separate? How did Rory get a meeting there? If it’s meant to be totally separate it doesn’t make sense from a viewer’s standpoint.

So Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Qatar have airlines that are on the Top 5 list for having the best wine lists-- with Dubai's Emirates being #1. While I don't think that there's anything wrong with drinking alcohol in moderation, this is what the Quran & Sunnah say about it:
- O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful. Quran 5:90 - Sahih International Translation
- They ask you about wine and gambling. Say, "In them is great sin and [yet, some] benefit for people. But their sin is greater than their benefit."... Quran 2:219 - Sahih International Translation
- Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah has cursed wine, its drinker, its server, its seller, its buyer, its presser, the one for whom it is pressed, the one who conveys it, and the one to whom it is conveyed. Sunan Abi Dawud 3674
- It was narrated that Ibn Umar said: "Every intoxicant is Khamr and every intoxicant is unlawful." Sunan an-Nasa'i 5699
Ye louge tou apnay khuda aur deen ko bhi nahin suntay hain magar humnay ye thayka liya wa hai kay hum louge unke deen ko jari rakhaingay aur uska naam roshan banainggay. Sometimes, I look at PK's situation and get so overwhelmed & sad that I just want to cry.
