The Simple Life

Do you ever feel like you should star in a reality show? This weekend I went to NYC with Shama to visit Kaajal and other friends (Nakul, Tom, random friendsters (haha jk.... actually i'm not really kidding.... lol - kidding about not kidding - haha now you'll never know if i'm really kidding or not. but really i'm not kidding...jk)).
While in NYC we hit up the following places: La Souk, Cat Lounge, Park, Bar Room, and Libations. We also went to the famous Mamouns for falafels (or as I initially put it - fal-fa-lels).
Other simple mistakes of the trip:

1) shama scanning her metro card on the left side of the entrance and wondering why the gate isn't letting her through but in the meantime scanning half the money off her card.

2) me in times square, asking kaajal - "hey this place looks kinda interesting/familiar, is it anything?"

3) shama on Thursday before going to La Souk - "hey kaajal, do you think we should call a cab now?"

4) me and shama at Sbarros, each ordering one slice of cheese pizza and shama ordering a budweiser as well. we got to the register and the hispanic lady says "$7.89" and I say, oh its seperate. she says "yes, $7.89". and i say no mine is different. She says again "$7.89" and once again, hoping she just doesn't understand english, i meekly point at shama cheese slice and beer and say "for just that....?" [what happened to 1.99 cheese?!]

5) us getting VERY close to being hit by a car/cab driver at least three times and running back and forth in the road like those damn squirrels.

6) kaajal ordering a malibu rum and pineapple and a red apple martini.... ok fine now i'm just reaching.

lessons learned? definitely.
