Sightseeing at the lake of Geneva

Sightseeing at the lake of Geneva - 13 Jan 08

13 Jan 2008 Lausanne, Switzerland

Tourist day! We visited Switzerland! At least the French part of it! At least a few mountains and villages around Lausanne! It was amazing weather, sunshine and snow from the night was on the mountains. We saw a lot of people going for skiing. There were children all dressed up. They even had little ski goggles. Bertrand was a great tourist guide and showed us some fascinating places. We took a lot of photos in the snow and we really had a breathtaking view several times. I love photography. The nature was just so beautiful. Unfortunately we also came into a traffic jam on our way down to the lake of Geneva and were stuck until nightfall. However Geneva Lake was also nice in darkness. Bertrand prepared a Swiss cheese fondue for dinner but as I do not really like cheese and to have some more variety we also made some Indian dishes and as a dessert ate the rest of Mady's cake. The time passed quickly and tomorrow we will leave Switzerland again. So I think Yashendu and Ramona will start packing soon.

Words of Wisdom

Truth

You will never be alone if you believe in truth.
Source
Happiness

Being happy is the biggest worship of god. I don’t think that God would be more happy about any other ritual or method of worshipping.
Source
Children

Full-time schools - are we turning our children into robots?
Source
Religion

I don’t believe religion was previously good and pure. On the contrary, I believe it was made with the purpose to manipulate and control people. When religion was created, people were afraid of things they could not understand. Religious people gave explanations and could thus control them, taking their fear like a leash. That is not pure, that is not good!

Religion

If you want to believe in the original form of Hinduism, you cannot convert to it. You are either Hindu-born or you are non-Hindu. If you follow any Guru or sect, you are a member of a Hindu-based sect or cult, not a Hindu!
Source
Make-up

Some women feel ugly without make-up. Your outer appearance can strengthen your confidence for a few moments but you know exactly who you are inside. Learn to face your originality. Accept yourself. See that you are beautiful just as you are. Real beauty comes from inside.
Source
Food

Be aware while cooking and eating that you are doing something important. Love your food and don't waste it.
Source
Psychology

Whenever you criticize something that is morally wrong and someone reacts strongly, it is a sign that he or she knows what you are talking about, has acted in the way you criticize and feels guilty about.
Source
Money

No, money is not everything and you cannot express the value of everything in Euros, Dollars or Rupees!
Source
Sects

You belong to god, you belong to love. You don’t need to belong to anyone or anything which manipulates your mind and where you lose your freedom of being yourself.
Source
Cheating

If you did a mistake, the first part of the solution is already that you realize it and then accept it. Don't try to find an excuse but turn around and walk the other way. Simply, honestly accept that you made a mistake and for the future commit to live an honest life which doesn’t cause pain for others and later for yourself.
Source
Life

Stop running behind achievements and appreciation from outside. Appreciate yourself, love yourself and take time for yourself.
Source
Vegetarian

You are what you eat. If you eat meat, you take the animal's energy into your body and thus people become more and more like animals.
Source
God

Someone tried justifying all gender differences by saying ‘god made women different’, not realizing that it could mean that men are the ones who are different as well.
Source
Relationship

Avoiding Sex won't help fixing Relationship Issues!
Source
Followers

The fact that millions of people follow something is no proof that this action is good. Many people followed Hitler, too, but you cannot say that he was right!
Source
Sects

The newage movement is like a religion reformed. People turned away from religion, choose one direction, be that card-reading, angels or past lives and then stick to it. It is nothing else than a religion in which you have a certain philosophy and won’t move away from it in your thinking.
Source
Relationship

Forgetting does not mean suppressing! Forgetting means that you know it but it becomes less and less important so that you don’t keep on recalling it again and again.
Source
Relationship

In the Indian society, young people are married like on a deer market and many agree themselves that this is how it should be.

Magic

Siddhis are not real. Don't be afraid, nobody can do anything to you!
