surroundings 23h after a small dinner Ecouffes street we walk ... a guy away his head, then another, another .... We also look at the sky. The moon is smaller than before. My dear friend Sylvie Barco someone asks if there is an eclipse. The corner of rue des Archives and the St. Croix Bretonnnerie is completely packed. Fifty young men take pictures of the crescent moon with their Motorola RAZR. Large bagnioles stop to see what everyone is watching. People ask each other: a total or partial eclipse? how they are eclipses? etc.. That is, half an hour after SB leaves me a message with all the information you need. A total eclipse of the moon Earth's shadow. Unfortunately, the sky is now covered by the 5th and I see nothing. And apparently I missed the last eclipse of the moon by Saturn. (You know, SB?)
Speaking of planets and the moon is March 4 Holi (always full moon in the Hindu calendar): The festival of color in India. Here is a picture I took recently in India (people prepare the colors on the street for Holi).
India is never far away. I went this afternoon to search for Indian music A Scope of words Francois Castang ( March 8 from 12am to 13h Music France) and I was struck as always by the Indian district. I thought of Butter Chicken in Ludhiana , a book by Pankaj Mishra, a sort of travel diary of his visits to provincial cities in India. He observes the immigrants who go to a big city a little and continue to live in the same circles. A young man from his village but in the big city he works for someone who comes from the same village of the same caste as himself. This afternoon at the chapel when I asked the discs (I tried in Hindi, English and French) I was waiting for the only person in the shop which spoken French. By cons I was offered a free DVD!
