week In Paris !!!

 
Paris the first three days Have really being a mix of emotions from being disappointed after seeing the louvre and effiletower in terms of the structure .The Louis Vuitton store in singapore seems a better bet .And as far as the effiletower is considered it’s a disappointment in terms of being  nominated as a wonder of the world ,there are many other beautiful sites in the world which are better .The champ élysées when compared to the other streets the fifth avenue in NYC ,orchid street in singapore or Oxford street in London .The champ elysee is beautiful with trees around making it feel good to walk around ,the macarons at Laudree were really amazing not too sweet .The walk around have been less tiring then ever ,the first 3 days have ended making us taking the next journey to Brussels for a day .The last 3 days in Paris ,were covered on foot again ,going through the famous sites of effiletower & louvre ,Notre dame ,the cathedrals The Sunday was one of the most restless days Everything all the shopping places were shut ,why ??? Taxi ride to the only store opened ,and a few interesting things bought ,Monday is here the day to shop and yes we shopped at the home stores ,walked it all the way to and from the hotel to the shopping malls and then enjoyed the Night drive and view from the effiletower  ,imagine if we wouldn’t have seen this ,it would have surely been the worst crime committed on this holiday .Tuesday the last morning in Paris and packing and leaving walking around for a taxi and finally get one at 9:20 and traffic ,10:00 and we might miss the train for Zurich it’s 10:12 and here we are for our train at 10:20 ,we have boarded the train … 

Day 7 begins now …

Swissed 

  

The Swiss week , a week full of Swiss chocolates ,traveling by the Swiss railways to the cities and train hopping all over ,with some great views ,natural beauty ,and small by lanes up hill and down hill,the connectivity of trams in the cities too were smooth and hassle free ,the week ended with the weather going high to 30 degree in our last spot and welcoming us in India with  40degree .


Travel Tips:
Switzerland ,Lucerne travel  brochure has a page where if you cut it and take it to the buchmann chocolate shop  to get a bag of FREE LIN\DT MINI chocolates .
Another point to remember if you have been shopping around in the (EU)European union cities go to the global blue tax free centre in the local galleria arcade since Switzerland isn’t part of the (EU) and you won’t get the tax refund there for your shopping in the European union cities ,Last but not the least if you want to grab lindt hot chocolate you can get that at the zurich airport . 
Day 4,Brussels day trip was from the eye of the local .From getting to eat at the best hot chocolate place to getting treated for the best Belgian chocolates and enjoying waffles and fries and last but not the least getting to see the tourist attraction with the history behind it .The central Brussels were covered on Foot ,the 9 hours there in Brussels we covered most of it.

Margarita with a straw 

A movie based on calebral  palsy with Kalki as the lead ,playing the character .movie has quite a few issues addressed in the duration of 102 mins  . One of them being it’s difficult to survive and live  in a country like India if you are not “normal being “,it’s difficult for the family to manage a handicapped person because of the way people behave  and the complete way of living changes if you are physically challenged 

How much ever a physical challenged person tries to live a normal life it’s just not possible .United States of America is the place for all including the handicapped  ,that gives them respect ,individual identity and a freedom to live life in their own terms .The films title Actually comes from when one evening Kalki is out with the “blind” girl and orders a margarita with a straw because she find it difficult to have it without One .and then the story moves to a point where she is confused not yet sure that she is bisexual .The film had quite a few light moments where you could laugh for that moment .
The film industry has tried to focus on each and every medical condition recently ,but the content for the time seems stretched ,if they could just make it more interesting with some more content it could be better ,It was a good movie but could have been slightly shorter by by 15-20 min because the 2nd  half to me was the repetition of the first half .
Watch margarita with a straw for the acting done by the actors .

Shoot experience !!!

Being part of a  shoot can be a fun thing to do, especially if you know most of them….. it’s better because the chances of you getting bored are slightly low .But again it can become boring if you have to be with the same people for a long period of time and when there is hardly any involvement of yours and with a schedule of last moment changes to a lazy approach and no time management at all ,can make you just wonder when will this ever finish ?

Have they lost interest ?

Are they forced to do this ?

And yes I understand the film industry works like this , But, here we are a group who have taken up this assignment to do something worthwhile and have given are time to it .But if that time is itself not being utilised to the fullest the delays will only cause frustrations and make us feel like how long can I be in that holiday mood ?

One day, two days but the third day we should put the same energy for things we are passionate about,which I guess was missing In this project where we all were students and giving our time to some fun ,some work on one location with 3 actors and 5 assistants and 4 camera men, the output could hardly be seen. 

And to conclude this experience I would just say yes, too many cooks just spoil the broth
