Zwingli’s Zurich

Dear Editors,

Thank you for publishing the travelogue, however, the 22 pictures I have uploaded with this article are missing. If they are put in the Photo Gallery, it would make a lot of sense to the description of Zurich and it`s beautiful Cathedrals.

Regards.

Your madrassah education is showing.

Thanks for the barb, I deserved it.Sorry for the square footage.

Banjuaraa: very nice. reminds me of the time we had a week`s holiday - landed in zurich, rented a car and drove around upto Lucerne. wasnt much of a holiday - rained 3 days, and the first weekend we found that their grocery stores were closed for three days on some extended holiday. and all i could get at the small inn we were staying was lousy hamburgers at the outrageous price of 15 dollars.

OK, enough griping. the countryside was nice, nice picnics on the mountainside - by law, farmers are required to allow picnickers to use their farmland. Lucerne was very nice, with boating against beautiful backdrop of the mountains.

(PS: I see one of our Indian leeches mister harimau showing up too - dont worry about him. These guys have a huge inferiority complex they cant seem to get rid off.)

#4 One of the advantages of having barachota around was that harimau, who fancies himself as the pit-bull/attack dog of hindutva brigade was purring like a pussycat.... read his interacts on the santa ana dharma board.

Did you see any hindi or tamil movie shoots taking place in front of a tram or something? It seems that if stay for more than 2 hrs on zurich airport, you tend to hit at least one crew or some starlets (you can tell them by the way they seem to have only a makeup-kit as hand-baggage)

At least Banjaara has a sense of humor! He caught on even though I left out the smiley.

I am told that in some of the more common locales for movie shoots, there are signs in Hindi!

On the ``Sanatana Dharma`` board? Don`t have anything to contribute on the religion. Too lazy to post other than intermittently for the last month or so.

If you meant Switzerland, you must be a mind reader! On top of Jungfraujoch where the restaurant is named ``Bollywood`` and serves Indian food and the commonest language I heard at the visitor center was Tamil!

harimau: you wouldnt know humor if it hit you on your head.

[harimau: you wouldnt know humor if it hit you on your head.]

Well, how about a nice humorous verse from the Koran? You think you can manage one? How about something about hitting an idolater on the head?

Here is a nice humorous verse from bhagawad gita, enjoy.

``Of the many headed non-poisonous serpents, I am the divine anantha. I forbid thou from patting thy holy cow on the rump, `cause thy holy cow will get mad and kick thee in thine divine nuts, and then refuse to service thy widower pitaji, who`ll then have to go after other farm animals like arjuna and krishna. And I will appear in this world in my original trancendental form by my internal potency.`` Chapter 6 Verse 10

Jang: I did not see any film crew during my sojourns in Switzerland. They usually arrive in summer, whereas, I was there in March which is still cold by Bombay and Madras standard.

Zwingli and James Joyce would be turning in their graves, watching a cyber war on Zurich by the followers of Mohammad and Shiva.The dog-fights over Zurich have provided me with an idea to write about Ayodhya, concentrating on Babri Masjid and Hanuman GaRhi. I am sure the followers of the two faith would have enough cannon-fodder to destroy each other and in the process I might cross hundred interacts for the first time;)

Sounds more like a verse from the chapter titled ``The Cow`` (Al-Baqara) in the Koran!

Chapter 2 Verse 222 onwards starts talking about wives. Is that a subtle reference to what a woman in a burqa looks like underneath?
