In the head of Ehsan

This is a podcast consisting of memoirs where I document my reflections and thoughts about life, the world, society, Islam and everything else I find interesting. Instead of letting the thoughts flow on the inside I let them out so I personally may reach a greater insight as well as other might draw benefit, be touched and reach a deeper insight. All episodes are recorded completely spontaneously without any preparations. The choice of words could thus sometimes be repetitive, sometimes the tone of speech could be boring, sometimes it is a bit chaotic, especially considering that English is my 4th language. I don’t know how the result will be and I don’t rein the horse of tongue but let it run freely in the meadow of my thoughts.

Episode 12: Death Note

A review of the most intellectually stimulating series I’ve ever seen. Date: 22 March 2010 at 08.13 Podcast (podcast-eng): Download (22.1MB) I had a hard time finding a really good trailer which is not dubbed to English.

The trailer above was the best I could find but the soundtrack is from the movie “Requiem for a Dream” and not Death Note’s own awesome original...

About “In the head of Ehsan”

To me a blog is something personal. It depicts you are a person in your own words. You choose what you want to write about and what you want to bring forth about yourself.

I probably fall under the category of those who combine the personal with the serious with the difference that I prioritize quality above quantity and I’d rather write from the heart when...
