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....

My school teachers...

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...

And nobody was named Fred....

There was a Hugo and a Rosie... but no Fred. Oh well, it's over... that is more than enough. So finally the Harry Potter series has come to an end. And I did read all the books... but somehwere between the third and the fourth book, all the success went to her (Rowling's) head and she started churning out lousy sequels. I mean the first book was really nice, stuck to important stuff... and did not ramble on unnecessarily. I liked the third book the best, cause of Sirius... I thought he was the most amazing character, he was portrayed as this handsome reckless and brave guy, rugged looking but great looking, kinda like Aragon in the movie, "Lord of the rings" or Oded Fehr in "The Mummy Series". So it was only natural that I stopped watching the Harry potter movies, after I saw who they had cast to play the role of Sirius Black, some demented looking guy. Just look at the pictures!!! Anyway, this last book was just too much... there was too much of everyt...
