Charity !! Thank you philip for the blog contribution

June: Contributions by a handsome stranger (not Namitas writing):
This exciting month started by noticing that my colleague (Choti) Jyoti made some great friends in the
office. Those friends appreciate the Indian Dosa and, some really appreciate, even more than the Dosa,
Jyotis attention. Unfortunately, those mainly male, people don’t fit in the wedding profile parameters

(age wise).

The fun, this case for all of us, continued by being invited to a great cake making lessen by the very

handsome guest contributor of this blog. The lesson was to learn how to make a traditional English Lemon Meringue Pie. This session came with all kinds of interesting lesson, among them the learning the difference between lemons and limes and how to crack an egg. Some of us prefer to peel of the top and

pour it into the bowl while other crack it at the bowls rim and separate the egg yolk from the egg white by shifting the egg mass from one shelf half into the other until the egg yolk is separated. At the end the cake turned to be out very good and everyone was happy. This success means, that it is likely that Jyoti

and Namita are the first Indian girls in the Zurich district of Schwamendingen having baked a Lemon Meringue Pie http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon_Meringue_Pie). What an achievement, truly ahead of the game we are.

One of the other highlights later that months was the Greek night. It involved delicious Greek non-veg.

and non-non veg. food, only. Followed by Greek dancing that was choreographed by the two Indian guest themselves. To recover from so much activity we decided to watch The Hangover 2 at the cinema.

A lot of nudity and strong language was quite a shock for our international friends. Somebody realized

that high heels are worn by man (transvestites) and woman to just look sexy rather than super smart

(what a anthropological revelation). Escaping this shock during the lunch break by using the emergency

exit did not help to disguise Jyoti & Namita’s confusion to everyone in the movie theatre.

The weekend came and after spending an exciting day in Berne the two (Choti Choti & Nakalachi Namita)

decided to visit the person who has written this brilliant blog contribution in the diplomatic capital of the

world, Geneva (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva).

Geneva, is in the French speaking part of Switzerland and hosts the United Nations

(http://www.unog.ch/), ISO, World Trade Organization, World Health Organization, International Red

Cross, International Telecommunications Union, the World Economic Forum and among others the

International Aviation Transportation Association. We settled for an early Saturday evening after being
picked up from the airport and getting a personal tour of the city, seeing the Red Cross (and Geneva
Convention (signed in 1949, after the 2nd World War), Geneva’s old town, Lake Geneva (largest
freshwater lake in Europe, anyone knows which is the largest (without looking it up)?). Sunday, a big
adventure day, finally Namita could become one with her true, wild, animalistic self. She turned into a
fine monkey. The rope/tree adventure (www.parc-aventure.ch) was a challenge for some who never

made it into the great forest height (having to be rescued while attempting it). Others tried their best

being monkeys with the occasional whimpering noise. A bit like “I can’t do this”, or “Stop it”, when

fellow monkeys were shaking the few ropes Namita held on to. At the end, Namita was feed some good

Moroccan food, self made pizza and fine French pastries to calm done and turn into a human again (not

to different a state as when in the forest).

The June finished with the attendance to the Albani Fest in Winterthur. Winterthur, being a
Canton/State itself required the purchased of an extra train ticket – easy to cover with our fantastic new
half price passes. Being naughty girls, both of them used every chance to tease our friends, resulting in a

damaged ankle for Namita, who, so far, has resistant to see an educated medical professional, believing,

based on Namita’s own extensive medical knowledge or superstitions rituals, that those cannot help her.
