Coppet

After our previous day in Jaun, we slept in the next day. Woke up late and made rice and dal for lunch, and after that Vinod dropped us off in Bouchet on his way to work. We, me and Nam, took a train to Gare Cornavin, went to the tpg office and asked whether we could go to Coppet (a small little town on the outskirts of Geneva) with the Geneva day ticket. The tpg guy, very kindly changed our Geneva tickets which are about 11 swiss francs to 13.20 swiss francs so that we could travel to Coppet.
Walked to the Castle
We didn't go inside...
Just walked around taking pictures
The castle ground with uneven rocks... 
The tree lined avenue opposite the castle
The best part about the castle.... 
Paterns
We loved walking under the shadows of this tree lined path
The lake in the distance
My sister...
Me
A peaceful place to rest under the trees
The lake...
The water jet of Geneva is seen in the distance
We just walked around Coppet
A quiet place...
Hardly anyone around...
A short bridge between buildings
Arches everywhere
Pretty cafes
Locked spaces...
Vineyards
A cute little house on the way
The church in Coppet
The metallic stations of the cross...
The cutest grotto, I've seen
Constructed entirely of shrubs...
The angel by the side
Statue of saint carved from the trunk of the tree..
The pretty church in Coppet

Walked some more and came across these sheep...
Another nice little lane...
The sun was beautiful that day... I also remember getting a little electric shock from this fence,
As I tried to capture the sheep in their pasture
Stopped by this cafe... can you believe that is wallpaper, the whole bookshelf.
The pretty cafe..
Picked up a sausage roll
Pretty little lane
Water font
Cute outdoor decor
Pretty corner
Walking through vineyards...
My sister took this beautiful picture of wild daisies...
After walking around exploring this quiet little town, we took the train back to Geneva and went to the Old Town for the street food fest.

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
