During end of 2006, as I decided firmly to move back to India, I started to travel within US - at a frequency higher than the usual. Ironically, I started to love the independent and vibrant life of NYC. My superficial take on my daily commute to NYC from New Jersey was - @ NYC everyone felt like minority. There was this whole world converging at one place. That said, I am not sure if I would have enjoyed a life as a Yankee.
NYC is also the first place where I started my Street Photography. I had absolutely no clue and just resorted to snaps that might capture life over there. I roamed around middle and lower Manhattan and a bit in the Bronx region.
