Just a Lazy Sunday

The next day was a Sunday, so went for the 10am English mass, and there was no choir... but this magnificent tree more than made up for the lack of music in church. 
The huge tree in church, it feels like the tree is dancing and inviting you to dance too... those tree limbs weaving magic and wonder into your being. Took some pictures under this giant comforting tree.

The cute little library on the way to church... you take a book and keep any book back. These libraries and brocantes were my favourite hang out spots, picked up many books, had to leave some back because I couldn't carry them all.

What a sunshine filled place... the others would wait in the car while I searched and picked out books. This is where I found the Girls from Ames book.
A cute little church on the way, where mass was just about to begin...
After the phone booth library, we stopped at a cute little bakery 
called Le P'tit Creuz (the little hollow)...
I remember this little fruit tart was the best.
This was a smoked salmon bagel... 
there was an almond croissant, a ham sandwich and coffee (can't seem to find the pictures).
Came home and I made paneer butter masala, my brother made some vegetable pulao and grilled fish. This was our quiet lazy Sunday.
The next day, we went to Carouge again to attend the morning mass. While the parents were inside the church, me and Nam, just roamed around outside. The pretty Carouge fountain...
Ate this nice crepe there...
The carouge fountain... we then went to the thrift store again to look around, and we picked up a big cute mirror for 9 chf.
Then stopped by IKEA for lunch, ate veg balls in a gravy with some vegetables on the side.
These are the famous IKEA meatballs with mashed potatoes, these tasted better than the veg balls.
This dessert was scintillating...
This was just okay... 

After this we went to the Sunflower fields and that was magical, read about it in the next post.

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....

I hope the world doesn't end in 2012, I have a whole lot of books to read...

I heard bout Flipkart.com from Anju and that site has changed my life. All the books that I have been searching for since centuries, are now sitting prettily on my book shelf. Landmark is a thing of the past now... in fact Landmark is not what it used to be anymore, they do not seem to have stock on most of the good books. So I am deliriously thankful to the creators of flipkart, I seriously love you guys... continue with your fabulous work. Talking of books, here are a few people who have enriched my life with their recommendations of the written word... My brother Manoj for buying the ' The Partner ' by John Grisham . Now I hadn't heard of Grisham before so the book was just lying there at home. One day I got bored and picked it up, that was the start of my love affair with Grisham and legal thrillers in general. This was the first John Grisham book I read and it was in a word mindblowing. I couldn't set the book down, my heart was racing away with Patrick Laniga...

Interesting churches from around the world...

Came across these spectacular churches while trying to search for simple and rustic ideas for my (very soon to be constructed) church back home. Thorn Crown Chapel This is the Thorn Crown Chapel located in Eureka Springs, Arkansas... looks pretty neat huh. Church of Hallgrímur The Hallgrímskirkja (a Lutheran church) is located in Iceland, and it is designed to resemble basalt lava flows that are characteristic of Iceland. The church is also used as an observation tower. Chapelle of Saint Michel The Chapelle of Saint Michel perched atop a needle of a rock is located in Auvergne, France. 268 stone steps wind their way up to this quaint little ancient church. Doesn't it look absolutely dreamy... Borgund Stave Church This is the Borgund Stave Church located in Lærdal, Norway... t'was built somewhere in the late 12th century, definitely awesome. Las Lajas Cathedral The Las Lajas Cathedral (Sanctuary of our Lady) located in Columbia, South America is certainly awe inspiri...
