"Be Happy and Comfortable With Who You Are, Whoever it May Be" ~Colbie Caillat

Traveled Comforts

If we stop and wonder where some of the places are that we are most comfortable, what would those spots consist of? Maybe your home? Perhaps the school you attend? Maybe your closest friends room where you can talk for hours at a time? Maybe a coffee house? Maybe the library? These comforting and time-consuming locations may consist of countless places.

Some of the places that as a Young South Asian New Yorker has found home in include the following:

1. School

It’s the one place I can get an education, make friends, socialize, take a nap in, work on homework, and do numerous other things in. It makes me appreciate that I have the opportunity to attend a university with such a great view.

2. My training Center

I began my martial arts training when I was a young child, but as I got older and faced a lot of challenges I had to quit the sport. But have had the opportunity to reenter the sport after a few years. This place has become my home. With great instructors and a great opportunity, I have yet again fallen in love with the sport as a young adult. By part taking in the sport I have been able to break some of the social barriers that I face within the South Asian Community.

3. The Park

I find that with the park, I find myself at ease. It’s often entirely and allows you to discover peace within the massive world that we live in.

4. Chelsea, Manhattan

With class, New Yorkers, the room this Manhattan neighborhood. Well, maybe not. I love this neighborhood as it allows me to enjoy the beautiful things it has to offer. One thing that stands out is that it is a diverse neighborhood. It has a changing culture, from one that satisfies the student life, upper class and even the creative lifestyle in the community. It has shopping and even salons where you can beautify yourself. You can also find various workout opportunities and so much to do.

5. Governors Island


I went to Governors Island because of an Event. My first attendance made me fall in love with this island. It was the festival of colors, Holi, hosted by a dance company NYC Bhangra, which pushed me to this island.

6. The streets of Queens, NY

As a Queens native, I find countless places to go some of which include Local Delis with great food, Museums, and Libraries. Living in the borough means that you live in a land of the immigrants. With each neighbor in Queens, one gets to see changing cultures. This borough takes us from Latin cultures to European cultures to various Asian cultures. And complex street numbers that vary allow you to get lost within a span of a few minutes.

7. Roosevelt Island

This island, this barrier in between Manhattan and Queens may seem like the figment of our imagination. This island gives you a view of the Manhattan skyline. With the lights at night, the horizon may be a mere picture. A moving image. It allows you to get lost in the city. It’s a newly found perspective on NYC.

These locations have allowed me to explore the city. They taught me that a city like New York is difficult to leave and may be intimidating to discover. With some problematic navigation, one can easily get lost, but that adventure is what makes reaching a location even more interesting.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
