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...

6 pm come soooooooon!

So here I am sitting in office on a Saturday and wondering what to do…. I don’t mind sitting here though, everybody is so relaxed and nobody ever works, or maybe they do work, only it doesn’t seem like that. It’s actually quiet and peaceful; I guess everybody is pretending to work… like me. I have a huge list in my head about the things I want to do tomorrow, and going to the library tops that list. I just finished reading “Circle of Friends” by Maeve Binchy and I loved it. It’s a story about two girls who grow up together in a convent school and when its time to go to university in the big town of Dublin, they discover gradually that they can depend on each other and their convent school upbringing to see them through the trying times. It was beautifully written, and it struck so close to home. I picked up another M&B book along with this Binchy book and I am going to return it tomorrow without bothering to complete it. I read the first few pages and I wanted to find that author a...
