Vicolo 39

It was a Sunday when Jude arrived, so after picking him up at the airport we went to
church...
A really interesting tree in church... look at the limbs, it's like they're dancing.
After church we went to this place, Vicolo 39 located in Carouge, for brunch...
Flowers outside the restaurant
Wine to start with...
The brunch buffet...
Cold cuts and egg spread...
Food was really good ...
Traditional home cooked Italian food...
The weather was so nice, took out my book for a little sketching... by the way, how cute is this book from limndesigns.
My plate with some really good pasta, tuna roll, and ham puffs...  so while taking the food, the Italian guy at the counter was asking us whether we were Hindus, and I replied no, we are Christians. Later, my brother told me that they weren't asking about your religion, they were asking whether we were from India, cause they probably know/read that Indians don't eat meat/beef. Anyway, everyone over there was really friendly...
The deserts were quite amazing too...
A picture of how Carouge looked like in the olden days...
Great place for brunch...
So I was just clicking away...
When one of the guys inside said, take a picture of me too as a souvenir... so here he is, our funny vicolo 39 guy. 
Walked around Carouge and
 picked up a few macarons.
One in each flavour 
Windows, fountain, flowers...
Raclette dinner with vegetables and cold cuts... that is the raclette machine in between. 
Slabs of raclette cheese are placed in spooned groves and on the marble slab vegetables and meat are kept warm.
Raclette with vegetables and ham... 
And that was our lazy Sunday in Geneva before the crazy three weeks that followed. We had planned to drive to Paris the next day, and spend the week after that in Italy, and the third week in Spain. Tickets were really cheap on easyjet and that's how we decided to visit these countries.

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....

Tawusi Melek: The Peacock Angel

By
The Last Girl (2017) by a Yezidi survivor, Nadia Murad, is filled with the bone-chilling sort of evil that the ISIS is synonymous with. Nadia poignantly captures the plight of her Yazidi village, Kocho, as the threat of ISIS looms large in the distance before becoming a reality. As with the Holocaust, no one really anticipates the amount or intensity of evil that could reside in the indoctrinated hearts of men. Otherwise, nobody would willingly stay back in their towns or villages waiting for the genocide of their race. One of Nadia’s brother’s, Hezni, did try to go Germany, by crossing the northern Iraqi border on foot into Turkey, from where they (the brother and a few others) made their way to Istanbul, then paid a smuggler to take them into Greece. But they were discovered and had to spend a horrible time in prison. So, the fact is people did try to leave, but like Nadia explains, it isn’t easy to leave the only place one has ever known. I still think that being forced to

A tribute to the crazy bunch....

Here are a few picutres that won't find a place in the wedding album... but they were equally (some of them, even more) memorable. Everybody loves sunoj.... I was so happy to see them all...... (first time they were coming to my new place) Sunoj again.... hanging out with this guy is like shopping, ice cream, chocolates... etc. You can't get enough of them. The crazy cousins gave us a very interesting gift... this gift will be with us for six months then it will start its cycle of educating the owners. Though I doubt my cousins need much education in that department. It was fun opening the book and Jardin being the smart guy wanted somethin read from page 69. It was so cute the way Sunoj quickly picked up "The Magic Faraway Tree Series" from the corner and gave me to hold up when Robert uncle walked into the room (turns out he was the one who bought the book). I still remember Robert uncle laughing his head off.... good times. This wa
