The Poor Man’s Ride

I get around by bus, by bike, or just by walking. I have always wanted to take a cab but its so very expensive.  I used to like the bus until I realized that the MTA is so much in debt that they keep raising costs and now there are even contemplating dropping the free rides for school kids. Walking I feel is so slow so if I am going to a place even a couple of blocks away I prefer my bike. However during the winter season it is not reasonable to use a bike. Therefore I am unhappy with all the transportation available to me. I would choose teleportation if it were available.

English-Hindi Culture

So my parents are from India and we live the US. Therefore I have a taste in both cultures. I listen to songs in Hindi and English. I do not know all the genres of music out there but I like music that I can actually listen to it and distinguish what is being said so I definitely hate heavy metal or rock. Opera is just plain boring and I do not see the point in wasting your breathe like that when you could just talk. I do like country and the slow type of music but only if I can relate to it. I also enjoy music that makes you feel that you need to get up and dance, for example Beyonce’s Single Ladies. Most hindi music comes out of Bollywood. Plus I like the fact that I know the story behind the songs since I have seen the movie.

A Mansion Made From Trouble

We live in a house. We used to live in houses that were joined together and meant to be apartments but we bought it so it was more like a private house. Then one to two years ago my parents got it in there head that they needed a new house. My dad was adamant that he would make a house from scratch, with help from contractors of course. My mom tried to reason with him to no avail. They had to take out a loan and everything to get this project started. Then in the middle there is a recession. Although the house is finished we are in a bit of a tight spot especially since I am going to college next year and that has to be paid for. Our house I feel as though I shouldn’t like it because it has caused us so much trouble but it is really nice and I’m having fun in it.

A Long Day

I and everyone else who is part of Arista was required to give tours of the school to possible incoming Freshmen. We were all waiting in the teacher’s cafeteria for the promised pizza. Last time we did the tours the pizza’a took forever to come and we were all starving waiting for them, there was also a shortage. This time we had enough and it came plenty early. However the pizza was not that great. I know that most people hate oil but I swear that the pizza that looks as if it were soaked in oil looks and tastes the best.
