 November, the last month of the fall season in New York; when you can find the leaves on the trees changing colours and dotting the city roads with red and yellow.

It is during this time of the year that it is fairly pleasant and the weather is mild, although it can get chilly at night. It is also the month right before the bitterly cold, winter season.

Every single year November has a number of New York City Marathons and other events such as the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Union Square Holiday Market, the Comic Con Book Movie Trivia and the massive Whiskey Fest.

1) The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade - An annual pageant of floats, cheerleaders, clowns, marching bands, theatre and even giant balloons  the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is one of the most anticipated events of NYC in November. While it is fun to watch it on the telly, it is completely a different experience to watch the procession in person.

Some of the other events during this month include the Renegade Craft Fair in NYC Guide, the NYC Marathon, the Louis Vuitton New York Exhibition, the New York Comedy Festival, the Radio City Christmas Spectacular and Thanksgiving in NYC!   

Events are not just the only category of things that you can do while in NYC. You can also stay engaged in a lot of sports activities such as biking, horseback riding, cheering to your favourite Baseball team, boating, sailing, football and walking.

Traveling is not just seeing the new; it is also leaving behind. Not just opening doors; also closing them behind you, never to return. But the place you have left forever is always there for you to see whenever you shut your eyes. Jan Myrdal 

There are also plenty of FREE things for you to do too! From tours, museums, events, shows, a moonlight bike ride in Central Park, a walk down the High line or even Brooklyn Bridge, a ride to Staten Island there is so much that this city offers you to do! You can visit the 9/11 Memorial Museum or even go to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

Last time I came to New York, I went for possibly all the walking tours and really explored the city. From the Grand Central walking tour, Greenwich Village, High Line & Chelsea tour, SoHo, Little Italy and Chinatown tour, Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO Tour, Williamsburg Brooklyn Street Art Tour and Downtown Manhattan. So, this time I just want to take it easy and enjoy winter season (December) in New York and whatever remaining time I have in New York before heading off to Los Angeles.
A vacation is having nothing to do and all day to do it in." Robert Orben

South Mumbai Residents Threaten Legal Action Over Proposed VVIP Jetty Near Gateway of India

Time is running out. At least, this is what the protestors who gathered at a public meeting at Real Party Hall at Colaba Arthur Bunder Road at 4 PM on Saturday, April 5 th , 2025, believe. The skyline of Colaba was built over time – stone by stone and voice by voice.   It is this very same skyline which is at threat owing to the danger of the construction of the newly proposed passenger jetty being constructed near Radio Club which will affect the flow of traffic, especially near the Radio Club stretch and the iconic view of the Gateway of India.   To voice their opposition, residents have launched an online petition against the project garnering over 3,000 signatures. A special WhatsApp group has also been formed to organise peaceful protests, which has already been joined by over 2,000 members.   The petition, known as ‘Save Colaba: Stop the Jetty Project’ proposes that the jetty project is a mammoth 2-acre structure that will be constructed in a space that has no room ...

Habitat – My First Performance Venue

-

In 2016, although I had written extensively, I had never actually performed open-mic poetry. Writing had always been my primary form of expression, with speaking coming second. So, when I decided to take the stage for my first performance at The Habitat in Khar, I was nervous, especially doing it alone. I wanted to build my confidence, and this seemed like the only way to do it. Coincidentally, 2016 was also the year The Habitat was founded. It became the place where I made my debut as an artist. The Habitat quickly became a safe space where I forged friendships with fellow poets and artists. I still remember the moment that turned my life around—stepping onto that dimly lit stage, microphone in hand. It felt like opening a door I had been too afraid to touch before.  Some of the people I shared space with over there are Zoheb Khan, Bikram Bumrah, Kunal Jhawar, Navaldeep Singh, Jackie Thakkar, Simar Singh, Aranya Johar, Rakesh Tiwari, Ramneek Singh, Hussain Haidry, Kartikey Sehgal,...

4 Mindfully Spent Days At Woods At Sasan for a Writing Retreat with Bhavna Kher

-

Writing has been my passion for over 18 years so when I heard about the Writing Retreat that screenwriter, brand consultant and former creative director of Ogilvy - Bhavna Kher was going to conduct I was immediately interested in attending the same.     Not only this but I also wanted to connect with other writers and also sharpen my writing skills as well. It was a perfect opportunity to find inspiration within a focused environment.  Moreover, the 4-day writing retreat, (September 14- September 18th) which was conducted at a luxury boutique resort provided the perfect break from city life, and mindfully focused on sharpening one’s writing skills.  Having our independent quarters, we were surrounded by thickets of trees, within a lush mango orchard on the fringes of the Sasan Gir forest. It was the perfect place to calmly create a story without any disturbances. Moreover, in between the writing exercises, we went for a safari, and eco-trail, and were given besp...
