Going back to Virginia/DC (HOME??)

3 days in New York, I don't know how they passed. I was living in Long Island City (its not in Long Island, but it's in Queens. Industrial kinda area but decent!!) @ Quality Inn. It's an okay hotel have to say and okay area. But I got an awesome hair cut here for $10, very coool (cheaper than Virginia!!). Working at Wall Street is good, its okay atleast. At 6:00 pm I was usually the last person to leave (in Virginia) and here at 7:00, half of the office is still at work... that's how NY rolls!!! I went to Times Square yesterday night (at midnight) busy as usual & awesome. Tons of people & tons of Lights & tons of " ". It's nice... I like Times Square & Central Park... my two favorite places in NY!!! New York... its weird though. Metro.. sorry Subway is nice but no AC in stations. AC is a luxury at houses here too (in those small rooms & clingy places in Manhattan, shocking surprise!!!) .... Anyways, going back home tonight (now Virginia/DC seems like home) on Megabus.... Untill then.... Take Care & Good Bye!!!

Welcome, New York... I am HERE!!!

I landed in New York City today... not practically landed.. I mean not by flight, so don't know if I can call it landing. I took a bus (megabus, its really nice) from Washington DC to New York and landed on my feet when I got off the bus. I have to say it's a different feeling. I have been in New York many times, spent nights & days here. Actually my first night in New York, I spent in Central Park sleeping on a wooden bench (that's another story, to be shared another time). But yeah, I have been here many times, but stepping foot as a resident is different. I felt a heavyness in my heart, I really did. Why?? Hmmm.. I still need to figure it out. I guess that's New York. Begining of a new Journey, a new stage, a new life!!!

I am starting work at Wall Street with most reputed Financial Firm. Can't reveal more than that.... Need to find a place to live here... Need to LIVE here!!! Excitement? Stress? Joy? Tension? Happy? We'll see.... But yeah.... New York City, I am here... WELCOME (ME!!)!!!!!
