Aerial View, New York City
Photo: Navid BaratyWatching the pace and flow of New York City from above is amazing. The constant stream of yellow taxis lining the avenues, the waves of pedestrians hurriedly crossing with the change of traffic signals, little figures disappearing into and emerging from the subway stations, the chorus of honking horns and sirens. It’s all so rhythmic and strangely soothing to watch. It makes me feel incredibly small.
New York will always be deeply embedded in my memory as a place where i truly explored, with nothing (really) but a sense of adventure. I yearn for such days, dearly.

On my last day in New York, i spent the entire day alone. I visited MoMA and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, got gifts for people, ran through the pouring rain, explored new streets, ate at wherever i wanted and whatever time i wanted, visited Bryant Park - the ‘me’ time was liberating and soothing at the same time. The physical space and mental space i was given was a reprieve from responsibilities, expectations, coping with life.
On that very day, i ran wild; i ran free.
