Holy Ravioli

This was breakfast most days, Nam showed us how to make them and they are really easy to put together.

Avocado on toast with either smoked salmon or ham. Buy really ripe avocados, that have a blackish brown hue and are soft to the touch. Half them, discard the seed inside and scoop out the green flesh. They come out easily with no mess at all. Add a little butter, lime, pepper and salt to the avocado and mash it all up with a fork. Then spread it generously onto a well toasted bread, add a slice of smoked salmon or ham, add sliced eggs and then sprinkle feta cheese over it. That's it, so simple yet tastes amazing. 
Check out the bus timings here... they never cease to amaze me. The bus almost always arrives on the dot,15:47 or 9:13 as indicated in the bus schedule here. 
We took a bus to visit this cute little library-cafe called Les Recyclables
This place has a nice retro, laid-back vibe to it,,
Most of the books were in French... 
Found a book in English...
Romain Rolland... the name sounded familiar.
Look at these patina tinted edges... 
After walking around the library, sat down at the cafe and this slice of homemade chocolate and hazelnut cake tasted really good. The lady at the cafe was extremely charming and helpful, we couldn't understand the menu which was in French and she didn't speak English. so with actions and with the help of google she was translating and explaining stuff to us very patiently.
This is some goat cheese fried in batter and served with salad... I remember this, she was google translating something and showed us that it was goat cheese. 
Then we took a bus to Carouge, a small place in Geneva with Italian vibes, in fact it is referred to as small Italy... 
A fountain in Carouge...
Stopped by the church for a visit... 
Came across an Italian guy selling fresh ravioli, so picked up different types of ravioli from here... ham and cheese, salmon ravioli, mushroom ravioli, and so on. Then we got into a conversation, he said he was from Italy, and has never been to India. Then we asked him about beautiful places to visit nearby and he wrote down a few places for us to check out.. and Chexbres was top of the list.
And a gelato is mandatory when you're in
 
Carouge.. 
 The ravioli that we bought, cooked it in water for a few minutes and it was ready...
For our dinner... all the different raviolis with some lamb chops...

Nice Ad....

Wouldn't you say so... Nam and me were in this huge clothing store and we were making fun of all the models on display (there was one of hrithik in which he looked kinda gayish) when we came across this one. Seriously, dark people are more better looking....

My school teachers...

So I got to thinking bout my school days recently and it saddened me that I was starting to forget a few teachers who had shaped my life, I have already forgotten nearly half the classmates... though its not my fault. Some people just don't want to join facebook, then how can you find them in this big world. Even if I do find them, there is not much to talk beyond the 'where are you & what are you doing' phrases. But the teachers are another matter, they deserve to be remembered for moulding us. I gotta hand it to the convent school I studied in, they really knew how to select their educators... all the teachers I had shared a genuine passion for teaching and above that they had strong moral values and faith which invariably shaped our lives. To them being a good person was what mattered the most and they made sure we grasped this knowledge, it also helped that I had staunch catholic parents who cemented this view. Anyway, I just wanted to jot down stuff bout my teacher...

And nobody was named Fred....

There was a Hugo and a Rosie... but no Fred. Oh well, it's over... that is more than enough. So finally the Harry Potter series has come to an end. And I did read all the books... but somehwere between the third and the fourth book, all the success went to her (Rowling's) head and she started churning out lousy sequels. I mean the first book was really nice, stuck to important stuff... and did not ramble on unnecessarily. I liked the third book the best, cause of Sirius... I thought he was the most amazing character, he was portrayed as this handsome reckless and brave guy, rugged looking but great looking, kinda like Aragon in the movie, "Lord of the rings" or Oded Fehr in "The Mummy Series". So it was only natural that I stopped watching the Harry potter movies, after I saw who they had cast to play the role of Sirius Black, some demented looking guy. Just look at the pictures!!! Anyway, this last book was just too much... there was too much of everyt...
