Music, Movies, and Books

My all time favorite band is Pink Floyd, and I was lucky enough to go to a David Gilmour concert in 2016.
Other than that I listen to many things depending on my mood, mainly: psychedelic rock, reggae (old and new), rap and 2000s RnB, blues (I’m not an expert but it’s probably my favorite genre), traditional Arabic music, ... you name it!

I love films, and I’ve been in an internship where I was lucky enough to help on the writing of one. :)
I’ll watch anything with average to good critical reception, from any time period and any style.
Some movies that have stuck with me: The color of pomegrenates (1969), Metropolis (1927), Drive (2011), La grande bellezza (2013), Trois couleurs: Bleu (1993), The Wall (1982), and many more!
Last one I really liked is Capharnaüm (2018), you should check it out.
My all time favorite TV series is Mad Men.

I mainly read in French, so the classics (Flaubert, Maupassant, Baudelaire, Camus,...), and Amin Maalouf (Lebanese but writes in French).
Also, I really enjoy Dostoyevsky.
Mainly, I prefer realism in books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Any trip I’ve had the chance to take, in my country or outside of it has come with its share of magic and beauty. My latest trip in India lasted two months, and it was a life changing experience (I was not really expecting it to be haha).

What I Can Share with Hosts

A cup of tea and a nice conversation. A part of their day, as small as it may be. A word or an idea I’ve never heard before.
