Indians are not used to grids. We are very comfortable with chaos. Structure confuses me. The best thing that happened to me in NY was that my bro gave me one of the street maps, which I held on to for dear life (its another thing that it looked the same upside down or downside up!). I loved walking on the streets of New York, although it reminded me of VT station in Mumbai, where people bump into each other while walking. If you think I could easily navigate, now that I had a map, then I'm laughing! I'm hopeless with directions. More often than not, I ended walked in the opposite directiononly to find another place of interest, like I was trying to get to Central Park, and where do I find myself? Guggenheim!
