I heart NYC just because i do!


Narrowing down favourites is one of the things I do often and always so intentionally. Isn't it just nice to know where you belong at least in trivial matters of food, place, clothing style, colours etc. Also saves a lot of time while deciding on questions related to such everyday stuff!

So this post is about my favourite city. I haven't traveled the world (not yet!) but then if i wait for that, I will never be able to list any favourites as of today. There will always be "yet-to-do" things and "yet-to-see" places. But I am going to go ahead and make favourites anyways! 

And so...

My favourite city (drum rolls) is NEW YORK!

There are a million others who would say that too and I do not mind being "one-of-the-many"! Besides I think I should prioritize honesty over exclusivity in the matter of favourites. Fair enough, right? 

And so New York it is :) 

No matter how hard I try, I always fail to exactly describe the way it made me feel during my first visit in December 2012. A short trip of three days is undoubtedly "THE BEST TIME" I've had in the United States since August 2012. 

It is free, lets me be..just lets me be and this is perhaps its best part. It is fast but fun - you will not miss the small happiness and minute details in its crazy pace. It is beautiful - with architecture, food, brands, parks and food. It is not perfect - narrow streets, which most of the times, is clogged with taxis and buses; starbucks paper cup lying somewhere on the road; leaking pipes (which I nonetheless hope will be repaired soon); small cramped up local eateries wherein you will have to wait minimum 15 minutes to be seated; subways and dark and cozy subway stations; insane number of tourists everyday everywhere!

And I can keep going on.. but again listing these apparent things does not justify my preference for it. There is something inexplicable about it. It is in the air. You will feel it as soon as your plane descends for landing! 

If I have ever used the word "beautiful" most appropriately it has to be now - It is simply BEAUTIFUL!
