My first snowfall in the US. Something I really really wanted to witness. As the snow storm still raves outside - I am lying in my couch thinking of the wonderful experience , along with another Indian friend join me and then the Bingo session arranged by the @theharpernj association. Memory for life ! #avrilinusa #payertolayshorshey #secaucus #secaucusdiaries #usadiaries #experienceoftheday #picoftheday #pictureoftheday #newyorkexplorer #nov16love

Last time when I was near battery Park I had heard a similar alluring music. This time witnessed this in person in #centralpark These kind of live gigs are common inside Central Park, people donate as they freely will. #payertolayshorshe #lifeinamerica #newyorkexplorer #avrilinusa #lifeinusa🇺🇸 #explorenewyork #usadiaries #travelblogger #indiantravelblogger #exploreusa #nov14love #weddnoov #thegyaanbaba #childrenzday14 #hellomezz

It was like a deja-vu moment for me, this evening , during my usual course of walk around the trail. All through my childhood, we were so used to this scene. In fact we had pets too . We never had a cow or horses. Save that we almost had every possible domestic animals, including goat , guinea-pigs, rabbits , a parrot, dogs and even squirrels. Gave a little #blackandwhite touch , as an experiment. For me this was like a #flashback . It was #ducktales by the #dusk #avrilinusa #Secaucus #aroundnewyork #payertolayshorshe #exploreusa #inanewlight #lifeinamerica #lifelikeneverbefore #bliss #picoftheday #pictureoftheday #littlestoriesofmylife #travelblogger #india_gram #natgeo #phonephotography #oneplusphotography #naturelovers #nov13love #novvtuue #uniquepostlikes #tastyteusday_ #yrnsgrn #tuedy13 #niceztimez

In the USA, November 11 is annually celebrated as Veterans Day. It marks the anniversary of the signing of the armistice, which ended the World War I hostilities between the Allied nations and Germany in 1918. Yesterday while taking my friend @sareeshayari - around #timesquare - we got to witness this. I experienced #halloween , #thefall , this was a bonus. #avrilinusa #payertolayshorshe #usadiaries #newyorkexplorer #veteransday #veteransday2018 #veteransday2018🇺🇸 #lifeinamerica

It's time for the #fallbreak for kids here. I was pleasantly surprised and happy to see this in the children's play area in the apartment. Have you played this in your childhood? #avrilinusa #payertolayshorshe #dwitwiyaardho #lifeinamerica #lifeinusa🇺🇸 #exploreusa #travelerbyheart #travelblogger #indiantravelblogger #picoftheday #phonephotography #pictureoftheday

Back in 2014 when I had just taken up the last role which I was doing in my organization, before taking this break , work was just shaping up and I had the luxury of going out for a round of walk around our office premise post lunch. I was an individual contributor those days . As the scenario became clearer, my team grew , we added more reports , more metrics and I lost that afternoon stroll. After long time, if the weather is fair, I go out for a couple of laps around this pathway. I never liked a bright sunny day earlier, but now I wait for it . #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshe #lifeinamerica #usadiaries #usa #secaucus #secaucusdiaries #longsojourn #dwitiyaardho #phonephotography #noedit #broguemonth #shinydayadventures #newwyeeaar

I finished my quick lunch in the afternoon, cause I had a mammoth task in hand. It's my first #potluck and I had to say #hello to my new neighbors here with something home made. I have a functional kitchen here , hence I had to make a quick mental maths of the ingredients I have at home , the utensils which I have , which ones are already occupied, which can be used etc. All summed up , I decided to make aloo-soooji tikki. I started my job and kept looking at the watch , I had to finish everything & get ready by 6 p.m. The finished products were polished off quickly.It started with @rajarshee_kar at home , followed by a little Indian boy , visiting his mashi's place in our apartment & whose mom was surprised that he was having this for dinner .... Even my leasing agent Christina was fascinated and claimed that she was a "potato girl" and loved these fritters - they were crunchy, fresh and she needs the recipe. We met people from Gujarat, Hyderabad, Punjab, Kolkata and even Bellandur in one evening, under one roof. A nice experience ... My first truly no cracker Diwali !! #avrilinusa #payertolayshorshe #dwitiyaardho #baridhararhenshel #usadiaries #usa #secaucus #secaucusdiaries #phonephotography #memories #meltingpot #unityindiversity

13 years back this was the logo of the project I was part of, couple of my friends from #teammapleleaf are still in touch. Others are there in FB too. Now while walking around in #secaucus it feels very #surreal - I always wanted to see the tree. The leaves strewn on the ground. Have you wanted something like this ? Not so strongly , but somewhere in the back of your mind ? How does it feel , when it came true ? #avrilinusa #payertolayshorshe #lifelikeneverbefore #usadiaries #usa #america #phonephotography #pictureoftheday #noedit #indianblogger #travelblogger #india_gram

"Home is a feeling & not just a place" I heard it recently. It explains why, having moved through so many cities so far , I still love setting up , from scratch. This is the first proper cooked meal at #dwitwiyaardho : daal gosht & rice (the bong me couldn't avoid a few pieces of aloo) Paucity of utensils , made me decide on this - but the outcome was finger licking. This also earned me a trip to #walmart & few more kitchen essentials & gadgets. Happy Diwali to everyone #avrilsfoodjournee #payertolayshorshe #baridhararhenshel #rajmitra #india_gram #diwali #diwalidecor #meatlover #picoftheday #pictureoftheday #usadiaries #lifeinusa🇺🇸 #exploreusa #newexperience #samsungphotography #noedit #lildiwaliz #nov6love #hbrusgwukh #diwalihday1

Yellow is not usually my color, it's @rajarshee_kar 's favorite. But this was too nice to miss . The weather being sunny and bright , no one in the neighborhood wanted to miss a walk in the #harmanmeadow #avrilinusa #payertolayshorshe #thefall #fallfun #fall🍁 #usa #usadiaries #newexperience #newcity #secaucus #secaucusdiaries #travelerbyheart #travelphotography #phonephotography #samsungphotography #noedit #nofilter #pictureoftheday #picoftheday #experienceoftheday #nov5love #danteraas #htyuwloth #mondy05

The view that kept me mused for the past 30 days. I literally saw the change in the leaves, every single day. They were absolutely green , when I arrived here. #avrilinusa #payertolayshorshe #usadiaries #secaucus #dwitiyaardho #lifelikeneverbefore #lifeinusa🇺🇸 #picoftheday #pictureoftheday #phonephotography

When it comes to food I miss , especially on weekends , it's these royal breakfasts at @ajit.sumi Sumi Di's kitchen !! What's in display - appam, stew, stuffed puttu & cutlets #avrilsfoodjournee #keraladiaries🌴 #keralaspecialities #lifeinbangalore #foodielife #bangalorediaries #bengalurubreakfast #bangalorefoodiesclub #sobangalore #foodofkarnataka

These days I love going for long walks , as it's relatively less colder than the past few weeks . The added advantage of walking around is - you get to see lot more things than driving past or riding. In this daily ritual, today I walked around and I sat for a while under a Maple tree. Later I picked up the dry leaves around and thought of a few friends who will be thrilled to receive these as souvenirs. I was also contemplating how to preserve them forever , flaunt them outside and not just put them inside books. Lost in all these thoughts, I walked a little further than my usual walkway. My initial plan was to head towards the place where I had found the pine cones yesterday and picked up for my lease agent Christina. But as I totally walked on the opposite direction , I kept my wish preserved for a later day. But just as I took the bend of the road to look for the button to press , so that i can cross the road , I found a host of pine cones, I looked up and my wish was granted. I picked a few , as much as I could carry along with the maple leaves. On my way back @rajarshee_kar called to say he is going out with colleagues , so that implies I have all the time in Earth to do as I please. Made some payesh or kheer et voila this presentation. Almost a story out of nothing ! inspired by @the.tenth.muse and my favorite author @ruskinbond #avrilsfoodjournee #baridhararhenshel #dwitiyaardho #avrilinusa #lifelikeneverbefore #lifeinusa🇺🇸 #lifeisbeautiful #exploreusa #secaucusdiaries #Nov2Love

My Saturday lunch throwback post .this is just one of the helping from our many 'table to counter' trips , as part of the #allyoucaneat lunch spread. Can't wait to go back. PC - @rajarshee_kar #avrilsfoodjournee #avrilinusa #asiancuisine #japaneselunch #japanese #secaucus #secaucusdiaries #samsungphotography #octfestt30

We love visiting #timesquare . The place is vibrant . You can find people from all over the world here. @rajarshee_kar also had to try a new gadget. A place in the bucket list has become a place of regular visit. I should count my blessings. P.c. @rajarshee_kar #avrilinusa #exploreusa #payertolayshorshe #lifelikeneverbefore #octfestt29 #pglikee #yogitaggin #weekstarts29 #jidhanyavad #gitgitop

There's something #oldcharm about this place - hence we are back the second time within a week ! The drinks, service, ambience - sets the mood and gradually grows on you .... #avrilinusa #avrilsfoodjournee #fridaymood #friyay #weekendvibes #weekendbegins #secaucus #secaucusdiaries #dwitiyaardhoo #2ndinningsbegins #cheersusa #exploreusa #fridayevening #whenrishwrites

We visited our new home for the second time today. When I came to the #usa , every one told me " you will experience #thefall" !! "The fall" I really had no clue how is it ... Until I saw the hue of the leaves changing to this extent.. I was probably saying to @rajarshee_kar look, it matches the color of my shoe !! Trust me there it was pure coincidence & #notouchup #avrilinusa #usa #usadiaries #payertolayshorshe #newexperience #myfirst #secaucus #phonephotography #noedit #nofilter #secaucusdiaries #exploreusa #aauwjudop
