365 days of blogging life in Japan

If time, hours, day, months and years have something to do with human life, today is one of such important day in my life. May 17 had witnessed important events in the life earlier also. I don’t believe in celebrating my birthdays, but when it comes to notify my friends that it was on May 17 last year I started this blog, I should not hesitate to do so.

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.

This blog on my life in Japan was a product of such restless mind and disorder. The disorder, not only in the society, but also within, urges for order on everything comes in contact. This blog did not happen out of sudden spurt of emotions in favor or against anybody, but happened out of a strong desire to tell the world outside thorough what I have been going through in Japan. The world outside including my relatives and friends responded equally well since the birth of this blog.

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.

Have a nice day to all readers!
