Good Things 2020
2020 we'll go down in history as the year of Covid-19. Not everything was bad, I created a list of things I discovered through 2020 and quick random thoughts I want to remember.
January
Magical performance, 3000 people in one room.
February
India is incredible crazy place. Video I took while walking in the Johari Bazaar — Jaipur .
Jalebi is one of the best sweet things I've ever had
“Sometimes our life is defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss.” This quote by Benjamin Button reminds me that sometimes missed opportunities are the ones we will never know to regret… or …regret the most.
March
I think I better let's go.
Whenever caught in picture frames
The paparazzi know our names
They know like fashion
Our love is not for real
Choti Si Asha. A. R. Rahman is an amazing composer!
April
Two months in home isolation — Coronavirus
Tank and the Bangas — “Rollercoasters — Just a good good perfomance and an interesting observation on the meaning of “falling in love.”
Daft Punk — Contact — What a soundscape! How come I never heard about Deft Punk before?
May
Quarantine new normal. Corona.
Homemade pizza can come out quite good!
The movie that got me off sugar!
June
Black Lives Matter.
I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free (Nina Simone):
Summer Drink: Soda, Lime, Mint, Ice
Translated “From a year to a year” song by Yehudit Ravitz. [Here]
Peeping in the abyss beyond the door
Not so scared anymore
Looking at the sky’s above me
It’s still the same blue
July
Originality is rare — There's only one Hendrix, but to play like him is not that hard.
But if by chance you’re here alone
Can I have a moment
Before I go?
’Cause I’ve been by myself all night long
Hoping you’re someone I used to know
August
Reading “Untamed : Stop Pleasing, Start Living by Glennon Doyle. Inspired by the honesty and reflection of reality that is rarely seen and articulated.
WOW WOW! Blown away by DaBaby performance at the VMA/ This is how music in 2020 sounds like!
September
Tidal Wave, the smoothest drumbeat i've ever heard:
Translated “Zemer Nugeh” [here]
This word is vast, there are many paths
Some will cross but separate apart
A human longs, but can’t walk that far
Cannot find what was forever lost
October
Hong Kong Style Milk Tea is a good thing!
Reading The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. Amazing observation of the undercurrent thought process and how the mind works.
If approaching your death strips you of all that is not you, then secret of life is to “die before you die” — and find that there is no death.
November
“I need the darkness, someone please cut the lights”.
Beautiful sound from Arcade Fire
December
So many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the sun’s gone to hell
And the moon’s riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it’s written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We are fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
