Rest of New York City


Hey guys… I’m on the flight on my way back home and I feel horrible L I really really really had an ammmmaazziinngg time in NYC and I don’t wanna go back!!
I was being treated like royalty honestly…. But I guess the royal treatment only happens because you are visiting for such a short time.. L
I had a really nice Monday.. I went shopping and your never gonna believe how lucky I got.. I had a $50 mac (cosmetics) gift card from 2 years ago.. and I had returned something for $16 bucks so I thought I’ll use this opportunity to spend the remaining 16 bucks… turns out they refunded the entire 50 bucks! I was so excited… the excitement was short lived though .. I managed to get 1.5 products from mac with 50 bucks.. jeez! Still.. Free stuff!!!
All of Monday I just roamed all over manhattan.. time square.. broadway.. and suddenly it was 7 pm! I love this city so much!! I then came back home n Rahul ordered dinner for us. I was sitting on the bed watching TV and he did all the work.. He’s been really sweet to me. He tricked me into eating seafood for the first time almost.. and that too squid!! It was called kalamari.. it was yum though.. who ever thought those weird gangly creatures would actually taste good..
On Tuesday, you’ll never believe what I did, I just looked up “best beaches in NYC”. And it said ‘long beach’ nearby was the best but the season starts later… so the next best was rockaway.. I actually took a train to rockaway beach 1.5 hours away and spend an AMAZING day on the beach.. it was awesome! I packed a sandwich.. a book.. and I was lying on the beach all day..
So Rockaway beach is in this really run down part of queens. When the train was first approaching the beach stops.. I was TERRIFIED. Everybody looked like they sizing me up for body bag size.. then it reached the 116th station and suddenly it was a whole other world.. feels like a small beach town.. and the beach was clean n water pristine.. I then came back and went for dinner with Rahul.. he chose the place and ordered the food.. fucking 50 bucks for indian food! NYC can be expensive if u want it to be… other indian places I saw were cheaper than west Lafayette (on curry hill). But anyways.. he conned me by giving the waiter his credit card b4 the meal.. and I conned him by (very heavy heartedly) slipping a 20 under his pillow.. to my girlies.. I’m sure you know by now.. but biggest advice ever.. there is definitely no such thing as free lunch when it comes to guys.. at least in my book.. Now when I look back.. I feel so happy that I never let Rob pay for me or treat me special.. atleast guilt is nowhere in the picture when I made a decision about him.. but whenever I think about other past relationships.. I always feel like I owe a lot for all the expensive presents and the pampering and that was also a factor why I kept clinging on.. debt and guilt.. anyhow….

Omg I HAVE to tell you about the crazy shit that’s been happening to me… my absent minded ness has reached a whole new level.. after the security check.. I actually called an officer and I was all like.. my book bag is missing… somebody took it.. and she keeps looking all over n then she was like.. how does it look exactly.. and then suddenly …” it looks like the one on my shoulder.. I am so so sorry”.. I felt the stupidest ever.. then I made a mad dash towards the gates cos the flight suddenly got preponed!!.. turns out I was at B28 instead of just 28.. OMG!! I ran like a maniac and somehow made it to the gates only to realize the flight was delayed again! I called farhan to chat with him and say bye.. I thought it was no big deal if I boarded last.. what I didn’t know was that it was a tiny plane carrying like 15 ppl.. and in 2 mins I hear this announcement.. “shruti gupta.. your flight is soon leaving without you”… talk about embarrassing!! But the cool thing is that I was at the terminal which is 1 of 5 places, which offers ipad-ordering. So the gate had an ipad at each seat that you can use to surf or whatever.. or you can use it to order food from a nearby restaurant.. pretty cool eh..
Ok guys.. it has been super fun sharing every detail about my life with you.. keep emailing me and doing the same.. love you.. mwwaaahhhhh
