Year 2005 I left my sweet little city Bhopal, a city of lakes, although I use to think it is a big city that time. It is a city where I was living from almost the day I remember. All I could feel was getting away from my family and excitement of the future, of a new job, meeting new people and an independent life. I thought no worries I am gona keep visiting these roads time and again. I came to Hyderabad, city of Navabs, a bigger city, a faster place and a city, which gave me a life of freedom. Year 2007 and let me give the date, Dec 25th I was leaving Hyderabad and all my friends. At the airport I saw the city and thought, all right one or the other day I am going to come back.
I came to the real city... NEW YORK CITY. An amazing place to live, a place to party, a place to see the most versatile things in the world, a place where surprisingly you can also find peace. I learned a lot from this city. I made some lifetime friends here. I have lived my days as well as my nights. I have done things, which I never did before, and now its time to leave. The very beginning of Year 2010 I am going to leave this city. I am going to miss my friends. They consoled me, they laughed with me at me and more than anything they are my family here.
It was 4 days before I had to leave I went to my friend to give her something. I gave to her and she simply said, "I won't hold you, I will let you go" It's a common sentence when we say b bye, but that day it was different. I was like everyone and everything here is saying, "I will let you go". I just walked couple of blocks towards the busiest Square I have ever seen "Time Square". I have been here a million times but today it was different and I was looking all over like a person who comes the first time. I don't know what was in my mind and out of nowhere a small drop of tear slipped from my eye. I quickly wiped it off before anyone look at a grown man has 'Tears at Time Square'.
I realized I couldn't just waive this city and say, "see you again"; because I don't know weather I am gona visit the place ever in my life again or not. I am in love with this place I am going to miss the busy time square, the crowded subways, the music on streets and subways, the roadside falafel, Hudson river, the dark roads in nights, the path, nights when I use to enter path in dark and when it comes out of tunnel its day already, Small cafes everywhere the town, people with red hair, tattoo all over, the weirdest to the best this city has everything in it and I am gona miss every bit of it.
