Street Food Festival, Geneva (September 2017)

Image
By
After exploring Coppet, we took the train back to Geneva and then bus 8 to Old Town, and walked a bit to reach the
Geneva Street Food Festival. My brother met us here, and we spent the evening strolling around trying out different kinds of food...
Cute food trucks...

One of my favourite foods here, crepes...

A cheesy spinach crepe... 
The pie truck...
The Churros truck...
Eating under the trees...
Pizza...
See, how they take care of their surroundings... nobody dares dirty the place. I wish we, in India, could cultivate a culture of cleanliness... in thought, word and deed.
It was nice... just strolling around, watching friends and families having a great time.
The goodlife indeed... 
Some Japanese food...
Which tasted pretty good...
We picked up a Lobster roll here...
My sister loves lobster and prawns...

An Aperol, got a nice buzz with this...

Always fond of seafood, my brother picked up this fish and chips...
After this, we went home and crashed, it was long day checking out beautiful Coppet and then hanging out at the street food fest. 

Woke up late the next day, walked to the supermarket a few streets down the lane to buy milk, eggs and these croissants. This was mid September and while walking I realised, the cold actually feels nice, when love makes you feel warm inside... love for just being wonderfully and gratefully alive. Anyway, reached home, ate a croissant with jam, got ready and went to Manor and Balexert (shopping malls), to pick up chocolates to take home.
Then went on a drive to Russin, 
To check out the wine festival... here, they are just declaring the wine fest open. 
Saw this beautiful creature in one of the barns there...
My sister loves horses...
Pretty places...  

 Wine fest...
Charming corners...
Delectable desserts...
Eating and chilling outside the church...
A huge cauldron of tartiflette...
The wine region of Russin...
Grapes everywhere...
Since it was a Saturday, we drove to a church nearby, heard a french mass and while we are walking back to the car, my sister took this picture... it was her last day in Geneva. She was leaving the next day and in true sibling fashion, my brother and me were making fun of her in this picture... we were calling her 'Madame, Madame', cause she was the pathfinder on this trip. She would access and read maps faster and she would even get into conversation with random strangers... so we were like, listen to Madame, follow Madame. And on this last day together, we couldn't let her go without pulling her leg and laughing about all the crazy fun we had on this trip... 
We had dinner at a Lebanese place, Parfums de Beyrouth, with a few friends. 
This place is always amazing, great food, good quantity and excellent service. These are some sheesh kebabs.
A mixed platter... 
Then we came home, Nam packed and we went to sleep. Woke up early, dropped Nam off at the airport, waved till the very end... it's always sad, when siblings leave. We had a great time exploring and discovering places and new things... and we know it will happen all over again. Life is an endless process of discovery, and I've got the best mates on this crazy journey called life.

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....

Amethyst in Chennai - A Review

By
After Sarangi , we stopped by Amethyst another boutique store at Whites Road (quite close to Express Avenue Mall), Royapettah. This is a cool posh place hidden from the bustling din of the main road, and the entry way itself seems to transport you to another time and place far away from the cacophony of a busy city life. Once you step into this land overflowing with (wild) shrubbery, you'll find a flower shop, a jewellery cum clothing store and a colonial styled coffee hangout place. The entrance... with shrubs on either side. A giant urn among the shrubbery.  A little fountain in the garden... The jewellery and clothing boutique is located upstairs and even though the whole arrangement looks nice and inviting, I couldn't really find anything worth buying here.   An art piece at the store... The clothes seemed drab and messily complicated, like some new age fashion for the artsy / socialite types. It's not something your normal next door perso...

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?
