At End Of Great Long Day Of Meetings At Microsoft’s SoHo Manhattan Office - IMRAN® Since 2012 90% of my Microsoft office photos have been taken at the awesome 11 Times Square Manhattan location. Probably 8% have been in other states and cities. So only maybe 2% of the posted ones were from the very cool SoHo location in lower Manhattan, where this was taken just before the 4th of July holiday this year. © 2026 IMRAN® #IMRAN #Microsoft #NewYork #Manhattan #gratitude #EnterpriseArchitecture #strategy #technology

Wild Turkey Inspects My Car At Long Island New York Home — IMRAN®

Wild Turkey Inspects My Car At Long Island New York Home — IMRAN®

On July 2, I stepped outside and found this wild turkey strutting around my car like it was performing a driveway inspection. No drama, no buildup — just a perfectly timed pre-July‑4th‑weekend cameo from a bird with zero respect for personal space.

In 31 years of living at this home, I’ve seen small foxes, regular herds and even an albino-like deer, unwelcome raccoons, rapidly multiplying rabbits, even more unwelcome large flocks of migrating geese who destroy the grass, some pheasant like birds, but never this bird. 

I don’t drink, but with America turning 250, even I had to laugh. If I were a drinker, this would’ve been the universe’s cue to pull out a bottle of Wild Turkey bourbon and toast the bird for showing up so perfectly on brand.

Old New York Standing Tall Over Law & Order And The Lay Of The (Legal) Land(scape) - IMRAN®

Old New York Standing Tall Over Law & Order And The Lay Of The (Legal) Land(scape) -  IMRAN® 

Only in downtown Manhattan do you get juxtapositions like this — a neoclassical chapel holding its ground beneath a towering early‑20th‑century skyscraper. This is the Chapel of St. Paul, a landmark with roots stretching back to the 18th century, paired with one of the Civic Center’s classic high‑rise government buildings. The Latin inscription “Beati qui ambulant in lege Domini” (“Blessed are those who walk in the law of the Lord”) has watched generations of New Yorkers rush past on their way to courtrooms, offices, and city business.

I’ve walked through this area many times since first landing in New York nearly four decades ago. The brick plaza, the columns, the carved pediment, the skyscraper rising behind it. 

It always feels like a reminder of what makes this city different. New York doesn’t erase its layers; it stacks them. Colonial-era faith, Beaux‑Arts ambition, and modern civic life all sharing the same few square feet. That’s why my new novel is also a love letter to New York. 

It’s one of those corners of Manhattan, where history isn’t something you read — it’s something you walk past on your way to the next meeting shaping the future.

Red Geometry In Art In Heart Of New York City Government - IMRAN®

Red Geometry In Art In Heart Of New York City Government - IMRAN® This bold red sculpture sits in the downtown Civic Center area, just steps from City Hall — one of those unexpected bursts of color and form that interrupts the seriousness of the neighborhood. Its sweeping circles and intersecting steel arcs are part of artist Alexander Liberman’s lifelong exploration of monumental red geometry, pieces he designed to create a moment of pause in places that rarely slow down. Liberman believed these forms were “interruptions in time,” a way to make people look twice at their surroundings. And he was right — even in a district defined by government buildings, courthouses, and the daily machinery of the city, this sculpture feels almost like a heartbeat. A reminder that art can soften even the hardest edges of urban life. I’ve walked past it many times, and every time it seems to shift in perspective slightly — sometimes a burst of energy, sometimes a quiet moment of reflection. That’s the power of public art. Sculptures transform a space without necessarily being obtrusive. This was taken on a hot summer late morning when people’s temperatures were turning red even before the hottest days of the year. © 2026 IMRAN® #IMRAN #NYC #NewYork #Manhattan #downtown #art #sculpture
