Yoghurt and India
While doing my regular round of shopping at Migros, I came to the yoghurt section and was about to pick my standard : two banana, two orange quota. That is when I laid my eyes on mango yoghurts. And I literally leapt into the air. You can take a man ouf of India I say, but not India out of a man.

Happy Meal Ver 1.0
In the quest to satisfy my very Indian tastebuds, save a few Swiss Francs and avoid acidic gastric juices, I have been constantly mixing and matching to cook up a Happy Meal, that satisfies all these constraints. So here is the Happy Meal Ver 1.0 (the naming is done with an anticipation of further enlightenment).
Happy Meal (Ver 1.0)
Menu
Carrot Rice with a strong Papprika flavour,
Orange yoghurt (pineapple one is good too),
Apple juice,
Two kinds of aachaars, and
A bar of chocolate.

Satisfaction level : 3/5.
Stomach filled : 100 pc
Cost : 2.25 Frs (~ 80 INR).
Here is a pic (the aachaars and chocolate are missing though)
Ascension day feast
Today is celebrated as Ascension day in Switzerland, and is a public holiday in Vaud. Ascension day is the day on which Christians celebrate the Ascension of Jesus into heaven, forty days after Easter and ten days before Whitsun. It therefore falls on the fifth Thursday after Easter. It is tradition to have a good feast on Ascension day. And since the weather in Lausanne did not allow us to get outdoors, we prepared the south Indian dish: Imli rice. Here is a picture
