Contra toda esperanza de Nadiezhda Mandelstam, pág 249
El sábado llegó la ropa para la boda, solemne, litúrgica, como casulla de celebrar misa y bombachos ornamentados, ascendí si hubiera
todavía clases sociales al menos tres. Muy elegante todo, brocado y pedrería. Nehru, Ghandi…resuenan. Se veían grandes ventiladores en los techos, mármoles
en el suelo, madera en los rodapiés, cristales
de colores en puertas y ventanas, estancias sin fin que atravesar hasta donde
nos esperaba el Gobernador inglés, representante de su graciosa Majestad, mientras
en las mesas y escritorios se afanaban marinos de la Royal Navy, miembros de los Dragones de la Reina y
personal nativo. Fuera resplandecían las
cúpulas doradas. Así es como me siento: súbdito de la Reina, hasta que me quito la ropa.
Viéndome tan indio podía mi imaginación
haber ofrecido otras muchas escenas, pero solo me ofreció la que he relatado.
Insistentemente. ¿Necesitaré un bigote
para la boda que poder atusar circunspecto? Lo siento, me pongo británico.
Nunca había pasado nunca una semana santa tan rusa ortodoxa de total enclaustramiento. Quería leer y corregir mi último libro, el más rápido de todos, y todo lo he hecho.
Se acerca todo, una acumulación de eventos presididos por la boda, de una densidad excepcional, y variados. Por si esto, que pudiera llenar un año de una persona algo movida y divertida, no fuera suficiente, el sábado me compré un libro de entrevistas de Foucault, lectura de Mákaros para primeros de junio y el día 12 de ese mes presentación de mi libro sobre el ensayo en la literatura canaria en la Real Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País.
Romantic engagement session in Cognac France
Good Friday to all the Trulovers! I have a wonderful romantic engagement session to share with you today from Cognac France. Located in the Poitou Charentes region of South Western France, Cognac is delightful place and somewhere that I had fun exploring two years ago when I was staying near Saintes.
Today’s submission comes from photographer Robyn Rachel who is also the best friend of the soon to be bride, Shilipa. Shilpa and Eguair are planning a Spanish/Indian fusion wedding next May in Malaga Spain.
My day was completely cheered up as these came through and I edited the post. I loved seeing the different surroundings, tones and colours in the French countryside and then we come to Shilpa’s wardrobe changes, so many fabulous outfits!
Robyn takes us through the love story of her best friend and their romantic engagement shoot: “Eguiar and Shilpa both met in graduate school at Georgetown University three years ago. They were both pursuing their Masters in International Relations and hit it off as good friends. A year into the friendship, she noticed he started acting different towards her but didn’t want to ruin what they had so she quickly ignored it.
That summer, she had a close friend’s wedding and had asked him to go as her date, explicitly stating that it was purely platonic and she didn’t want to start anything. Well, he never heeded her demands and decided to just go for it. She ended up leaving to work in Afghanistan for a summer and once she came back, it was obvious to both of them that they had to see how this potential relationship would turn out. They’ve never looked back and plan to wed in Southern Spain next May alongside her Indian relatives, his Spanish friends and family and their friends from around the world.
This engagement inspiration stems from Eguiar’s love of France, both when he worked on restoring a castle in southern Provence when he was a teen and when he studied for a year in Paris during university. Two of their friends were getting married in Cognac and they thought it would be a perfect opportunity to take advantage of the beautiful French countryside landscape, the abundant vineyards and long summer days.”

LUCIAN,
NO TE IMAGINABA PONIENDO ESTAS FOTICOS TIPO DORIS DAY. BONITAS SI SON, MUY BONITAS, PERO ALGO ALMIBARADAS... NO TE VEIA A TI COLGANDOLAS..
BESOS
R.W.
Ellos no son nada cursis como tantos otros. Se lo pueden permitir todo, trabajan mucho y en áreas y geografías donde lo almibarado y cursi es radicalmente incompatible: Afganistán, Jordania, Siria, Islas Marschal, Yemen, Colombia, México... incluso Líbano para ir a bodas de una semana de amigos que son grandes reporteros internacionales.
Me temo que otro concepto y otras historias.
Lo almibarado puede tener glamour, lo cursi nunca
