A NEW YORK MINUTE

Since childhood it has been my dream to live and work in New York. Blame it on every classic (or cliché) movie and novel because everything fun, dramatic, life-changing happened in New York. From love stories to finding your dream job or alien invasions to time travel - it always happened in New York.

After living in Bombay, Boston and Los Angeles, my dream finally came true. I made the mandatory Facebook "Life Event" that I have been waiting for...

MOVED TO NEW YORK, NEW YORK.

I have been to the city many times and I have hundreds of photographs, but somehow the ones I took *after* the official move just seemed so much better. It's the feeling of a dive except it is a constant after-leap-before-water moment which I guess no expensive camera or filter can compensate for.

A New York Minute is an instant. Here are few of my favourite instants that symbolise the city for me -

"It's the interval between a Manhattan traffic light turning green and the guy behind you honking his horn" - a New York minute as described by Johnny Carson.
