Enchanting Falls

By

So on Thursday, July 21st 2022, we went to church for the English mass at 12:15pm. Vinod came there and we drove to manor (a supermarket chain) for lunch. ,

I ate a small plate of legumes... which is my preferred food when I go to these type of places where the menu is vast and you've to select what you like. I mostly take the potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots and the wonderful sauces. 

By looking at the plates, I can tell who took what... Nam took this dumpling thing along with the pasta salad.

This falafel plate with hummus was dad's. Mom's is nearby, some steak (I'm guessing it's pork) with mushroom sauce. 

All our plates...
Vinod took this salmon poke bowl, which had some rice (or quinoa) underneath with all these fruits/vegetables on top.
Some beautiful pastry for dessert...
And this raspberry tart...
After lunch, we drove to a waterfalls in the Morges region.... a bridge on the way with pretty flowers.

On the way we stopped at the church in Coppet, and this picture was taken at the grotto. Some service was being held in the Coppet church, so we just prayed and got out at church 11. 

A wooden sculpture on the way...
Pretty landscapes...
The rolling hills...
This pretty chapel made us stop... and we snuck it for a quick look and a prayer. This is church 12 (I'm counting the number of churches we visited on this trip).
My sister with the a pretty painting in the background...
I like this chandelier...
The cute little chapel that made us take a u turn just to check it out...
A good drive through the countryside before we reach our destination.
We walked through the cool forest for ten minutes, sometimes clambering up and down the path. By this time my family was ready to disown me, they aren't the trekking kind. So anyway, one last bend in the path through the forest and we chanced upon this...
Enchanting falls. 
This place looked straight out of a fairy tale book...
My father and my sister in the cold waters of the falls... 
 
I just sat on the rocks, enjoying the cold waters...
I of course had to get into my meditative pose near the falls...
Me at the entrance to the enchanted falls...
Another meditative pose...
A few artists with their easels busy sketching away...
Trekking back to the car through the lovely woods...
My sister bumped into a short pole while backing up...
The drive back home...
Horses and landscapes on the way...

 It was a fun day, the walk in the forest was beautiful... the temperature inside the forest was cooler than the temperature on the road. Since it was quite hot in July, this little place felt magical with its ideal temperature and stunning cold waters.

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...

By
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...

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...
