MI PROFESIÓN; EL MUNDO CURIOSO, APASIONANTE Y ESPECTACULAR DEL BOLLYWOOD.

MI MUNDO. MI CARRERA.MI PASIÓN: EL BAILE BOLLYWOOD DE LA INDIA, IMPARTIDO POR ESTA CHICA INGLESA INTERNACIÓNAL!!!

ROMANTICISMO EN BOLLYWOOD: la relación íntima y compleja entre esto y mi personalidad, necesidades sentimentales, y mis deseos personales.

El Bollywood forma una parte profundamente importante de mi vida desde hace ocho años.Desde entonces empecé a bailar y formarme como profesora de esta danza mágica.
Pero, llevo mucho más tiempo relacionada con la India.Cuando tenía 3 o 4 años, justamente cuando empezaba a hablar, dije a mi Madre que había tenido otra vida anterior en la India.
Un día ella y yo estuvimos hablando en la cocina de nuestra antigua casa en Inglaterra. Años despúes, ella me contó que ese día le dije que mis padres en mi otra vida eran Hindú. Me preguntó cómo y pór qué me había venido a Inglaterra para ser tu nueva hija.le conté que un día en la cocina de mi casa allí en la India ( que por cierto todavía me recuerdo que esta casa estaba al lado de la vía del tren en el campo de la Inida, y que mi padre Hindú tenía una granja con muchos cerdos?!) tenía mucho sueño y decidí a tomar una siesta.Bajé la cabeza y la puse así encima de mis brazos cruzados, y dormí.Cuando me desperté, estuve allí en Inglaterra con mi nueva familia.¡Vaya imaginación que tenía la niña verdad?!!
Pero creo en el absoluto que el hecho de que me indentifique tanto con esa danza viene en cuenta con mis recuerdos y experiencias de mi encarnación previa.

Starting the mission of tackling and decoding a life abroad

I first arrived in Barcelona in Jan 2009 full of expectation and a little teeny weenie bit of dread. I had just returned from a year and a half of hardcore life experience in South America. I first lived alone for 8 months in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I then, for fault of a wonderfully spontaneous but later to become an extremely complex intercultural love affair with a Peruvian doctor, I then moved to Cusco, Peru. I spent a further 8 more months living there with the aforementioned medic. I also give thanks to this experience for allowing me to discover in depth the amazing country that is Peru, and for, without wanting to, losing a great deal of weight due to stress and nervous energy. (Love is a dangerous thing at times, as are Peruvian stomach parasites!)
After this Peruvian/English love experience ended in 2008, I decided to continue my love affair with the Spanish language and Latin culture and moved here to Barcelona. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Two years on, I have learnt many things about the Catalan mentality (and certainly about my own). Most notably, their perception of foreigners, in particular foreign women, is unsettling at times. 
I have fallen in love... (No, not with a Catalan) but with the no rules barred, seemingly relaxed attitude of the locals. Who, on the other hand, are extremely complex and serious individuals.Behind the facade of laughter and relaxed joviality that exists to varying extents in whichever culture you may find yourself in, lies a complex series of ´´cultural detectors´´. These can be used to decode the characters of the locals. Which is exactly what I am going to be doing here in this blog. How does an English 30 year old woman or señora....(sounds so final and formal in Spanish: as if I really have stepped over the age threshold from girl to mature lady, without even knowing it... In the English language I would still be referred to as a girl!!) mange to absorb the amazing Catalan and Spanish culture, whilst retaining her own nationality and satisfying her unique needs and wants?
You can take an English woman (who considers herself to be a woman of the world first and foremost I might add) out of England, but can you take the English out of the English woman????I always thought you could, but now I am beginning to realize that maybe you shouldn´t really want to do so...

The Men in my Barcelonian life: both friends, confidantes and more..

Male influences I have in my life...

Geovanny, 33 and Colombian. He is separated and has a child.We were neighbours.We met in the street one day. He was a kind of friend but I don´t see him as a potential partner.What we have is respectful but It doesn´t interest me that much. I invest too much energy into my sentimental relationships at times, but with Geovanny I am much more complacent. He is what he is and as a long term partner he would not be for me. A friendship with a man is a very good thing.I enjoy male company, but in this case, there is not so much complicity.

Miguel Angel, 22.Catalan.We met online and went on three dates.I was very impressed by his emotional intelligence for a such a young guy. In the first date he analyzed me. He explained the significance behind wearing rings on the fingers I wear them on.He said that I had a prominent masculine side to my character.He also said that I reminded him of his grandmother ( yes I did laugh to start with and check for wrinkles in my pocket size travel mirror). He said that his grandmother and I share the same energy.I found it very interesting.However, there was no sexual chemistry.We now have a lovely friendship and I feel that he has shown me that with some Catalan men, I can indeed maintain a platonic friendship just as I do with my British friends.

Pete, 31; an English guy that we met in a bar before Christmas 2010. He seemed every bit the gentleman.Very correct and generous.A nice person. We went out together a few times and It was all very slow burning.However, unfortunately It later materialised that his relationship with alcohol was all consuming. Seeing this fatal flaw in him put an odd end to something that started well.We never spoke again and he left Barcelona a few months ago.

Jean, 29, Ecuadorian.We met in the pizzeria where he works over 2 years ago.We become friends and have been ever since.He is very special to me.He was interested in me romantically at the beginning of our friendship but never attempted anything.He is either shy or simply doesn´t advance with women that easily.So we have a very affectionate friendship and I pass by his place of work weekly to spend time with him there.All of his colleagues know me and I am the queen of the place.It´s an incomparable feeling to be so loved.The Pizzeria has the most wonderful atmosphere thanks to the staff´s energy and presence.If they didn´t work there, It would be cavernous and without personality. Jean is a very special person.Someone who I will probably never be with in any context apart from friendship...something is always unsaid between us I feel.Was I or am I attracted to him?

Henry, 31: my wonderful, sweet Henry.He also works at the same pizzeria as Jean.He is the life and soul of the place.He has a warmth and magnetism that is truly extraordinary.We have also known each other for over 2 years, and he always jokes that he was in love with me calls my mother his mother in law!However, he is tiny and I am very tall and as a joke he stands on a stool to kiss me hello and goodbye!He has a very strong masculine energy however.I truly love him.When we are together we don´t stop laughing.He is a joy to be around.My friends who come to visit me, say that for them, ´´Henry´s Pizzeria´´ is their first and last port of call!La Sagrada Familia and other such tourist attractions, pale into insignificance next to Henry!
