Some French Cookies, Indian tea, Cheese Cake and Chinese food....my day was awesome

Cookies ready to be baked

The "Cheesecake"

Strawberry and Cream yummmmm

Someday's are just yummy  food day, like today. My day started and ended with some awesome food...it was our "baking day" as our honorary Indian but French fren Mr. TK, said he'll teach us how to make a cheese cake and help us bake some cookies too. It turns our Mr. TK is quite a chef, he made some nice cookies but it was over baked nonetheless it  tasted good. I was looking fwd to the cheese cake but it was unlike a cheese cake, okay I know I should not be mean and say it was not a cheesecake when Mr. TK and my dear fren Miss. CD worked hard but the cheesecake didn't tasted like Cheesecake at all. Sorry both of you!!!! after having the cheesecake at the Cheesecake company my taste-buds refuse to call it a  cheese cake what Mr. TK n Miss CD baked., okay I agree it was tasty but it was unlike a cheesecake. In Between the baking we had some strawberry and cream which....was heavenly. I realize I am happy and in a super friendly mood because of the food I ate today. For me Good Food = Happiness...

Keukenhof....Tulip Paradise (Tulp het Paradijs)

My impending desire to visit Keukenhof and click hundreds of picture of all the beautiful Tulips....finally happened today. It was not a beautiful  day but thank gawd!!! it didn't rained. I clicked about 250 pictures....n uploading just few of the selected pictures. 

Palm Sunday at St. Peters Squire- Vatican

The magnificent Dome at St. Peter's Basilica- Vatican City  

The Roman Column @ St. Peter's Basilica 

I was one of the fortunate thousand in the whole world to attend the Palm Sunday mass at St. Peter's Squire- Vatican City, The Pope HH Benedict XVI addressed the mass and it was one of the best cultural experience I had experienced till now. I am not a catholic or christian and I am not a too religious either but I totally felt blessed to get an opportunity to attend Palm Sunday at the Vatican City in the mass addressed by the Pope.

All thanx to my classmate AC, she managed to get 20 passes for all of us from a French catholic church she was in touch with. The mass started at 9.30 am and went on till 12.30 pm. I bought some souvenir  and took hundreds of pictures. More pictures will follow.

Roaming @ Rome

Yes I am roaming @ Rome and absolutely  loving it. Today I saw the famous 'Colosseum'  though from a distance on our way to FAO office, we did not go inside as we had an appointment with one of the Departments at FAO.  We decided to walk till FAO and on our way I saw something which looked like the Colosseum and I asked one of my classmates, is that's the Colosseum? She was  like.... no it's not...its can''t be so close...but when we reached closer we all were shouting in excitement....it was indeed the "Colosseum" and we all went crazy taking pictures....m so loving Rome at the moment ...its bright, sunny and the weather is just waoooo.  More updates will follow soon with pics. loads of them and till then ciao....
