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.

What a stunning little chapel. Love all these photos but I am so impressed with your home made pasties they look so exotic. How about a recipe :-)
Take care Diane

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....

I hope the world doesn't end in 2012, I have a whole lot of books to read...

By
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...

Raining on a Sunday.....

By
Last Sunday was beautiful, it was pouring the entire day and we couldn't go out anywhere, though we did go to church, and came back soaking wet. We (Tonio, his cousins and me) decided to spend the evening baking a cake. This is the nut cake and the strawberry cake we baked. I was actually surprised the nut cake came out well, cause I made it without a recipe. I had to give it away to people though, cause Tonio doesn't like nuts and I didn't want to eat the whole thing and put on weight. I can't wait to go back home and start baking again for Christmas. P.S: The baking utensils I am using here were given to me by Judith Aunty for my wedding and I love them. On an unrelated note, I read this in the paper today. "Dhoni has reassured us that he is no Samson and that locks or no locks he can still plunder runs". He does look even more dashing with his new haircut.... doesn't he?
