Looking into Oscar Dzhalilov's bag — a musician, host, and a man with ideas. Half are work-related items, half are personal, all together — a portrait of the hero.
The iPad is "old," but still working
In it, Oscar writes scripts and watches content. He also charges his phone when necessary.
Notebook without squares, without lines
“Only two pages so far,” Oscar admits.
Steam Deck — doesn't play.
Bought it to play, but no time yet, so it's just gathering dust in my bag.
Book (haven't read yet)
Rick Rubin is a must-read, says Oscar. We agree. Just like Oscar, until we read him.
Cap from a personal cap collection
Accidentally ended up in the bag, dusty but irresistible
Cord: charging phone from iPad
Hybrid solutions are the best that the 21st century has to offer.
Dry napkins (wet ones — no)
"Wash your hands with soap," — a firm stance.
Lapel mic: recording thoughts
Constant companion. Convenient, practical, always at hand.
Pocketbook — an e-book
Paper books, as he was told, are a rudiment. He did not argue.
Hair pomade (if you went out without a hat)
Holds the hairstyle in place if the headwear was left at home. Or got dusty.
Eye and Face Creams (what?! yes!)
Self-care is never canceled.
Headphones: they used to be big, now they are small.
Minimalism, mobility, and no extra weight in the bag.
A huge bunch of keys
From a car, two apartments - and even a safe. There's also a supermarket loyalty card. How else could one save up for two apartments?
Wallet (ooh-la-la)
Inside — cards, a bit of cash, and no unnecessary sentiments.
Lighter from Paris
A souvenir with history and a warm aura. It reminds me of friends who are now suffering in their Paris, while we're here in Tashkent having a truly good time.
