Lovely tree and Jules Verne

Next day was a Tuesday, July 19th 2022, and we cooked lunch at home: rice, beans and carrot thoran, fried fish, brinjal and dal. In the evening, we took bus 22 towards Ziplo, got down in Grand Lancy, took tram 15 towards Butini, got down in Unimail and walked to St. Francis de Sales church. 

Here's church 10 (I'm counting the number of churches we visited during this trip)...

This lovely tree outside the church was beckoning... it was in bloom and a carpet of tiny yellow flowers adorned the ground beneath it.
Me inside the church...
The entrance of the church... Mass was good here in this simple church.

Vinod met us after church and we walked to Le Recyclables, but it was closed. So we walked to Jules Verne cafe and I saw...

A familiar sight inside the cafe... strong motherland vibes here.

I of course, ordered the kir...

Had to take a picture outside the café named after an author I admire.

We had the jalapeno and cheese nuggets, potato bravas...

And this vegetarian burger for my dad. 

This was some dessert... it was good evening, just hanging out in our old spots.

July 20th 2022 was a Wednesday, and we didn't do anything much. We went to this beautiful church called Mary of the people, and this is the picture inside... Mother Mary holding child Jesus and people are gathered under her mantle. 

The amazing chapel, you can see a wooden statue of Mother Mary holding baby Jesus inside. It was a quiet day, didn't do anything much. Nam made puff pastries at night, I ate the spinach ones. The next day we go to an enchanted waterfalls so stay tuned for that.

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....

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

Tawusi Melek: The Peacock Angel

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
