Saturday-Pentacle // Issue 200 // Week 36 // 2020

Hello!

Welcome to another edition of Saturday Pentacle.

Well, this is a special one! It’s the 200th Edition of this newsletter. 🎉

Yes! That’s true. I can’t believe that the experiment which started couple of years back with just my own curiousity to document interesting things has come this far.

With this newsletter i’m taking sometime off now to step back and think about other things as well.

As they say when you are in the flow, the time fades away. So I think it’s about time to get out of the flow for a while, take a break, observe more things in the world and then come back with a fresh perspective.

So this is not a good bye! This newsletter will be back soon! So keep tuned in.

P.S.: I’m not stopping all my creative works, i may not be publishing them for a while though. Thanks for understanding the need for a creative break. 🙏🏻

So without further adieu, please enjoy the 200th edition of Saturday-Pentacle.

Issue 200 // Week 36 // 2020

The Black Panther Tribute —

Chadwick Boseman – The Black Panther is gone. Chadwick left us on 28 August 2020. As per online reports he learned about the colon cancer in 2016. But it was almost not public about his ailment. He fought it bravely that nobody knew all this time.

He was an amazing actor. Check out his role in movie 42 as baseball player Jackie Robinson, he just blew it out of the park in that role. He has a lot of depth as a person and he put a lot of hard work in the roles he played.

So here is a tribute (Video by Marvel) to the Boseman! The Black Panther!

Also enjoy this commencement speech he gave in 2018 at Howard University.

An investment approach —

Global Investments through India – Earlier it was not very easy for individual investors from India to invest in Global stocks like – Apple, Facebook, Testla, Google etc. But now with a few companies have designed there business on this idea. One of them is Vested. Vested has partnered with Axis Securities Limited for making Indians able to easily invest in Global stocks.

If you are interested in investing skyrocketing stocks like Tesla. If you invested $1,000 in Tesla in 2010, it would be worth more than $36,000 as of Feb. 4, 2020 (reference).

If that gives you goosebumps, you can check Vested here.

A movie I re-watched —

While we were here – There are movies which touch you at a level deeper, this is one of those movies. It’s a mix of a love story, a breaking off from a toxic relationship and following her own passion.

When the protagonist listens to her grandmother’s audio recordings describing the world war era from a normal human being’s perspective. Wow! That took it to another level. I made me believe further in power of audio.

Here is the trailer of that movie –

A song I loved —

Road Trip Playlist – As we have been locked down since the past 6 months or so, I’ve been craving a lot for travels. But as it’s a bit longer till we are allowed to travel. One can still satiate their cravings with at least some travel music.

This Road Trip Playlist is definitely worth listening –

Quote which I found meaningful –

Let us prepare our minds as if we’d come to the very end of life. Let us postpone nothing. Let us balance life’s books each day. The one who puts the finishing touches on their life each day is never short of time.

— Seneca
