KHAMSA brings you some great recommendations from our readers.
KHAMSA For the Culture is a new series wherein we ask readers of KHAMSA questions pertaining to their recommended movies, songs, TV series, and other such cultural content we consume on a daily basis. The range in recommendations is what we are looking for, allowing for our readers to add a wide variety of entries to their lists.
For this edition, KHAMSA reached out to Saad Naamani (@saadnaamani on Instagram), Co-Founder of The Good Narrative, a creative and communications agency in Dubai, and The Good Trip, a multisensory events and spatial experience agency.
١. If you had to recommend one current TV show to the world, which one would it be?
“I used to binge-watch TV shows before, but it has been a long while and I haven’t been watching TV. One TV show I would recommend would be Foundation on Apple +. It’s a Sci-fi based on a book. Foundation is set in the future, when the world is barely remembered, and humans have colonized the galaxy, showing you how some things never change unless we wake up.”
٢. Which one recent song would you say is ‘your song’?
“I am a music digger, so it is quite hard to pick one song to call it this way. But one new album I would recommend is ‘A LA SALA’ by Khruangbin. The whole album is a beautiful journey from start to end – one track I love is ‘May Ninth’.
٣. Which relatively new book are you taking with you to your lone island getaway?
“I am currently reading “Dream Yoga” by Andrew Holecek. It shows you how to illuminate your life through Lucid Dreaming and the Tibetan Yogas of Sleep.”
٤. If your phone had space for only one podcast, which one are you downloading?
“This is not a podcast, but rather a meditation podcast, I have heard it more than once. It is Deepak Chopra’s “21 Days of Abundance – Meditation Series”. A 10–15 minutes a day challenge for 21 days that can have an amazing impact.”
٥. If you had the choice to preserve one recent film out of all in an eternal archive, which one are you choosing?
“I think I would pick Pulp Fiction. I believe it’s a timeless classic that never gets old.”
