I was invited on a 2 day trip to Lavasa to attend the Lavasa Women’s Drive (LWD), an annual event to promote awareness of breast cancer. This event is a car rally driven by women, starts from Mumbai to Lavasa. This year there were two legs, one from Mumbai and another from Pune.

Geneva was the first city I was posted and so it has a special place in my heart. I had seen some places before, but this was the first time I was on my own and alone. I was excited.
During my tenure I tried to grab as much as possible. Keen learner and an observant person that I am, there was so much to see, know and learn. I wanted to know what the locals eat, how they eat, how they speak and so on. I was keen to …

While doing that I promised him to write some more posts on Switzerland. Though I’ll not to, but if you find an overdose of Europe here in …
