Coppet

Image
By
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.

Nice Ad....

By
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...

My school teachers...

By
So I got to thinking bout my school days recently and it saddened me that I was starting to forget a few teachers who had shaped my life, I have already forgotten nearly half the classmates... though its not my fault. Some people just don't want to join facebook, then how can you find them in this big world. Even if I do find them, there is not much to talk beyond the 'where are you & what are you doing' phrases. But the teachers are another matter, they deserve to be remembered for moulding us. I gotta hand it to the convent school I studied in, they really knew how to select their educators... all the teachers I had shared a genuine passion for teaching and above that they had strong moral values and faith which invariably shaped our lives. To them being a good person was what mattered the most and they made sure we grasped this knowledge, it also helped that I had staunch catholic parents who cemented this view. Anyway, I just wanted to jot down stuff bout my teacher...
