There’s a farmer’s market in Carouge (a municipality in the canton of Geneva) every Saturday, so we took our parents to attend the morning mass in Carouge church and then we just walked around taking in the sights and sounds of a bustling market. We then went home, and Nam made this nice mozzarella and …
As usual went to church the next day by bus, which takes about twenty minutes. I remember when I first came to Geneva (almost ten years ago), we would wait at the bus stop and as soon as the bus came, I would be ready to run to the front door and wait till the …
Before we arrived Vinod had ground and fermented rice and urad dal for dosa batter (cause dad is not really into cereal or sandwiches or cold cuts) so the next day I made chutney and dosa for breakfast. Then me and mom cleared out all the accumulated junk in Vinod’s cupboard. Around 11am, we decided …
So I’m back in my tertiary home (my brother’s place in Geneva) and this time around the drama quotient has increased (courtesy the parents); they like to attend mass everyday and we dare not go late or even think of skipping church, cause we (the siblings) don’t want things to get out of hand.

So we’re at the end of the year, and it was a pretty good year… found immeasurable treasure in the yoga classes by Radhika, Kassandra, and Echo among others. Just a half hour flow session feels amazing, you feel your blood gushing happily, your body thanking you profusely and your mood lifting immensely… it’s like …
At yesterday’s drawing from history workshop, we explored Michelangelo’s ‘Art of the Nude’, and what an experience it was listening to Jon (The Renaissance Workshop) expound the life of this Master sculptor, painter, architect and poet of the High Renaissance. Here’s a sketch of Adam in the fresco ‘The Creation of Man’ on the vault …
So folktale week 2021 just got over and it was pretty interesting, to see what I could come up with for each day’s prompt. Folktale Week is a yearly art challenge that takes place on Instagram. The idea is based on illustrating a set of prompts related to folklore and other legendary tales (I make …
Last week’s drawing from history workshop was based on the works of Raphael (1483-1520), an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. Raphael was quite prolific, he left behind a large body of work despite his early death at 37. This workshop was rejuvenating, I think it was because of Raphael’s spirit… that seemed …
