Love Ever After: A Valentine’s Day Special
Tuesday, February 14, 2012
Three years ago, Lauren Fleishman began photographing couples who have been married for more than 50 years in an attempt to document romantic histories.





Sol and Gloria Holtzman



"I was the kind of girl that fell in love right away. So the next day I would tell my friend, terrific, I'm in love already! But after my first date with Sol I did not feel that way. I think it only proved to this day that you can't judge right away. It may not work out but as you get to know a person love comes."

—Gloria Holtzman, Midwood, Brooklyn, New York. May 25, 2008

Erase

Not really supporting the "I don't regret anything I've done, only the things I haven't done" ... speech lately !!!
This only sounds good once I forget, or manage to laugh about it!!! So still wouldn't mind going over a few ones of last year! :-) 2011 was a mess, real big mess !!!!!!

The End

Is a very funny cartoon no doubt, but c'mon who didn't actually though about the "Oh... what if !?" Well I did...

Too many documentaries and Hollywood movies maybe do this to you ;-)


Even my mum told me this last year! Not sure how did it came, think I was telling her about something that was bothering me and she says: "Ahhhh Carla, why do you worry about it!? It will all END in 2012...". I simply started laughing, I guess thinking about an END above it all, kind of takes the weight out of our sholders, isn't it?!


I like to read about the various interpretations. You have the positive and negative approach of it, the romantic renew and the dramatic END of all times.... And apparently people is more into the BIG BANG BOOM catastrophe, finally we all die and learn a lesson, I wonder why?


THE END

Stars

On my last session, while discussing things to do during my time in India, the instructor shared:




"I'm planning to take my kid to the village, so that he can see the stars, with the polution in Mumbai he hasn't been able to see it, can you see it in Luanda?"


Uau ... What a nice thing to hear!! And it's true, just checked out my window, there's nothing out there...

Mumbai

I'm finally here!

After delays, stressful arrangements, a long bumpy flight, I arrived in Mumbai...




At the same time I was looking for a plate with my name between the bunch of heads looking for their passengers, in the overcrowded arrivals gate, I was wondering... "Why am I so scarily anxious!? I've done this on my own without any driver or hotel reservation arranged." Don't know, maybe I'm getting scared of crowds and mess, two of Mumbai's middle names.



That's what I remember seeing as soon as I left the airport, crowds and mess. Lots of people, carrying lots of things, moving and moving in lots of directions, under this hot sticky weather.


We're staying at Navi Mumbai, according to my certified translation by a real Indian dude , means New Mumbai, one hour drive from the center on a good day.





Today we drove around town , visited Gateaway of India and Victoria Central Station...

I’ve been told so many times…"Is just a Job"

When meeting people...



"When meeting people from a foreign culture, offer a few gifts that reflect your interests as a gesture of friendship. Better yet, give things you've created yourself. Also, explore thier interests and their culture. Ultimately, the best way to forge a lasting friendship is to create something together. Whether it's a meal, an art project or a spontaneous dance party, when you create something with others, you build a connection that lasts a lifetime." --International Diplomacy Guidebook
