Random Thoughts
The stay in New York has been both eventful and memorable since I moved here at the end of July. But as I was telling my dear friend CB today, while I wish I could write about the fun experiences I had in NY, I also wish I had the money to have those fun experiences. Oh, well. If I get the opportunity to live in NY, that will be the best fun experience in itself. There are some things I wish I could write about...but they are for classified eyes only. :)
In the absence of anything to write about, here's some random thoughts and experiences I've had in the last few months:
- Recently, while standing at the cash register in the local White Castle, I could barely contain my laughter when the big black lady behind the counter (the kind one usually doesn't mess around with) said, "Baby, here's your change sir."
- On my recent trip to Denver, I came across a billboard at the busy intersection of Colorado and Evans for an adult store. The caption read, "Secrets: It's cheaper than dating!"
- I've been meaning to post this on this space for a while. On an episode of Boston Legal last season, the story arc focused on obesity caused by sweets, or more specifically, anything made by Hostess. Research state that such products (and MANY others) contain high fructose corn syrup, a sweetener that can control a hormone called leptin, which controls the amount we eat. In its absence, the brain never gets the message to stop eating!
- New York is the haven of beauty, in all colors, shapes and sizes...and I'm not talking about the buildings either. For as little time as I have spent in the city, I cannot get enough of the women strutting their stuff. What was I thinking all these years, staying away from this??!! Next tasks after getting a job...shed the pounds and then.......the Acquisition begins!
- Only after moving to NY have I realized how long I have been away from India. Apart from the obvious aspect of watching people WALKING on the sidewalks, they also have no qualms about showing their true feelings, or rather tempers. But, I still find it hard to digest. Looks like I've become too much of an American for my own good!
- Someone recently introduced me to the concept of "brown trash", inspired of course by "white trash" (JME I am thinking of you). But I don't quite agree with his definition, so I'm working on one of my own.
- The new iPods came out yesterday. Not the ground-breaking, head-turning new video iPod I had been hoping for, but an 80GB video iPod or an 8GB black nano is never a bad thing. Oh, mama...so many temptations in life! Then again, I'm in the temptation capital of the world!
- God, let NY be my home!!
