NY & NJ

As noted in the previous post, life in Boston has been pretty much hectic. I have to change a lot of things to keep all the things in control. Before coming here I was rarely awake beyond 12 midnight and here I rarely go to bed before 12 midnight. Well the latest timing stands at 4 am.

So trip to NY and NJ was more than a break from the chaotic life here in Boston. The best part is meeting with Kolli. Meeting him after 5 years made me feel how much I missed the good old undergrad days. And he was more than nice to me by getting biryani and showing the city around. Guess I will always cherish my undergad days and the friends I made there. NJ was more than a surprise to me. The place where Kolli stayed is literally swarmed with Indian restaurants and shops. Heck even the street was closed just because there are playing dandiya. I didn't see that many people playing together even in India. All of a sudden my chaotic life felt connected in some way.


I heard so much about NY before and it didn't disappoint me. Even though I seen just a fraction of NY it stood up to its reputation as being running on a fast pace. I always knew that NY subway is most complicated line in the US. But having experienced the subway, 'complicated' felt an understatement. For a stranger it is like a kid trying to figure out the first day of a school. Nevertheless it was fun to get lost in a strange city. And yes subways are HUGE source of entertainment. No matter what time it is in the day, there is always someone to entertain you!
