Yes, today is the 1st Anniversary of this blog. My life in Japan is one year old today!
Dear Blogger friends, your valuable suggestions and comments are anticipated. Thanks in advance.
Day and night, as written by Hawking, may probably be a relative phenomenon depending on the position of the observer. Though observed from within the mind, it was not so long ago that this blog started appearing in the google searches. The land of rising sun has ignited enough thoughts at the hearth of the mind.
While commute on buses and trains, the observer within was silently witnessing the activities outside. The observer inside was restless to learn new things when talking with Japanese people of different nature, while interacting with them and while reading through the culture of Japan and the society. It was this restless learning of new things in Japan that formed the reason for the birth of this blog.
Blogs does not happen automatically, but happens out of a restless desire to express own feelings and opinions, to share the new knowledge we learn in life, to find out a vent for nasty emotions generated out of the unpleasant experiences from all corners of life.
Today is the 365th day of blogging life in Japan. Google provided a blogging platform where I stand and share with the rest of the world what I have been experiencing in Japan. Thanks to all those who have been visiting this blog. Special thanks to Manisha and Anima for following this blog. I have learned many new things from their blogs.
Signing off ..........
Best Regards

ReplyDeleteYour restless mind and interest in everything let me find 'New Japan' that I didn't know even it's my own country. Am enjoying your blog and hope to see the 2nd, 3rd and more anniversary here:)
Hi Karen, Thanks for your comments. Japan is really fascinating and is not limited to words, but to the real life!
ReplyDeleteHi Manisha, Thanks for the wishes.
ReplyDeleteWife n kids are fine and they too started loving Japan.
Hi Anima, Thanks for the wishes.
ReplyDeleteJapan's new mind is restless than the earlier generation. That is evident from the activities of young people in Japan. How positive is that restlessness is yet to be known from the result in the society.
Earlier restless mind to explore new things, adventure, experiment etc. was really productive to Japanese society which is the reason for growth of Japan in competition to other developed industrial nations. I observed a slight amount of negative energy in the new generation, which may be sometimes my own observation problem.
Let us hope good.
