There's this beautiful chapel near my brother's place that I always visit when I am here, it is architecturally captivating. 

So one morning, we went for a walk and spent a few minutes at the 
St. Marie chapel...
This is one of the prettiest chapels I've seen... natural light through openings in the roof fall on the bible and 
and on this altar...
The exterior of the chapel...
A pretty ornate cross at the entrance...
Afterwards, we decided to explore the wine growing region of Geneva, Satigny. So we hopped on a train and crossed beautiful vineyards and rolling hills...
It was an extremely hot day, so finding cold potable water like this was pretty amazing.
A vine covered train station...
Pretty little church in Satigny
The interior 
The countryside... on a warm sunny day.
Took the bus back to the city and stopped at this cafe, Paradiso
 for cold beer...
Later at home made these pastries for dinner....
A vegetarian one and a chicken one
 I love making these whenever I am here, they remind me of my childhood and they are ridiculously easy to prepare.

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....

So here I am sitting in office on a Saturday and wondering what to do…. I don’t mind sitting here though, everybody is so relaxed and nobody ever works, or maybe they do work, only it doesn’t seem like that. It’s actually quiet and peaceful; I guess everybody is pretending to work… like me. I have a huge list in my head about the things I want to do tomorrow, and going to the library tops that list. I just finished reading “Circle of Friends” by Maeve Binchy and I loved it. It’s a story about two girls who grow up together in a convent school and when its time to go to university in the big town of Dublin, they discover gradually that they can depend on each other and their convent school upbringing to see them through the trying times. It was beautifully written, and it struck so close to home. I picked up another M&B book along with this Binchy book and I am going to return it tomorrow without bothering to complete it. I read the first few pages and I wanted to find that author a...

I heard bout Flipkart.com from Anju and that site has changed my life. All the books that I have been searching for since centuries, are now sitting prettily on my book shelf. Landmark is a thing of the past now... in fact Landmark is not what it used to be anymore, they do not seem to have stock on most of the good books. So I am deliriously thankful to the creators of flipkart, I seriously love you guys... continue with your fabulous work. Talking of books, here are a few people who have enriched my life with their recommendations of the written word... My brother Manoj for buying the ' The Partner ' by John Grisham . Now I hadn't heard of Grisham before so the book was just lying there at home. One day I got bored and picked it up, that was the start of my love affair with Grisham and legal thrillers in general. This was the first John Grisham book I read and it was in a word mindblowing. I couldn't set the book down, my heart was racing away with Patrick Laniga...
