Shubha’s abode: Though frequent travel is strenuous, my daughter’s stay in New York is a blessing in disguise. The building is called Long acre building, with shops around and tall buildings; with 27 floors, the apartment is compact, comfortable, signifying, how the available area can be utilized with a little brilliance and finance and commonsense. Down, you have access to any place through trains, viz uptown and down town. As everything is machine here, purchase tickets through credit cards, swipe and enter. The station has a big store and releasing area is called rest room. Enter the train. There are signs for destinations - fast trains, often crowded, on the way - announcements to alight at the station, with escalators to tread. Meet some salesman or musicians, enjoy. This train system was introduced in 1920, a tremendous system. Each train no strain, very fine, you gain, try again. Reliable, risk free, remarkable, rejoicing, railway system. Bus system’ meets the internal system, takes you to any part of the city. Long distance vehicles are also available. Enter, swipe the card or exact change, watch the seat, for aged or disabled, sit, proceed, witness the beauty, and enjoy the journey. Air facility is considered as one of the best in the world; named after that great soul, is the JFK airport. First baggage checking, confirmation of tickets, personal checking, passenger asked to proceed to that particular lounge where the plane proceeds. Airport has all the facilities like rest room and cafeteria, computer, TV etc and if the distance is a bit far, internal van will take you to and from the plane. It is JFK - judicious, faithful, and keen steps, with stress on safety, security, strict vigilance, systematic handling, skillful management, stewardship by each staff, signifying the most affordable, appreciable, amenable, admirable airways. This transportation is like a family run by husband through mutual respect, tolerance and understanding.

Central Park: To get relieved from stress, men use many methods like books, radio, tv etc, people using nature is an exception. Man’s desire for exploitation of resources has deprived people of their right to stroll, sit in open space and enjoy. Concrete jungles have deprived children of the place to play. Hence, government has kept a portion of these areas for development of parks, play grounds. Suns rays increases your pace, brisk walk makes you risk less, cool air a healthy heir to enjoy, contact with nature brings one leisure. Contact with nature assures longevity, leisure, laziness weeded out, giving a fillip to labour. Garden guards against all odds. It is a vast area running to 10 acres. The gorgeous greenery makes one mesmerized. Slow and fast runners, couples with their talks, people moving with their pets, aged moving with their walking stick, with innocent smile on their spaces, beaming mother, bringing their children on crutches, some engrossed in books, some working on laptops, and some speaking to themselves. Amenities provided, make the place a memorable one. The weak take the coaches or rickshaws. With a committee looking after maintenance, it reflects the regard of the citizens for environment, ecology, worthy of emulation. This is the central park; you can walk, talk, sit on the rock and take stock. But go before you see the lock; don’t grab anything, lest you are in the dock; return before it is dark to avoid any probable shock.

The product used during all religious occasions and used as auxiliary to food.

Undeterred, a new building is coming up for working towards common goal.

Really an awesome reflection of mans multi-faced brilliance creating reverence to the maker and happiness to the viewer.

Sri Vigneswara temple, Flushing: He is the teacher showing that” parents are real gods,” a first short hand writer of Mahabharatha, prevented Ravana from carrying Atmalinga. The temple is self contained with machines for tickets, Pandits for pooja which is systamatic, authentic, with a cosmetic touch. Well maintained, a culmination of different forms of god culminated to bless, canteen below to quench hunger, the priest offfered us excellent service compelling us to visit again and again for gain. Located in the holy street the Lord will greet with smiles making us difficult to retreat, as the treat of his grace is really upbeat, relieving us of the heat of emotions, giving us a neat package of his grace, asking us to visit again.

Liberty statue: Liberty though a man’s prerogative is marred by desire, grudges, hatred - renouncing of which pronounces his freedom, a divine gift.
