Dear Sis,Where r u

Hey, this post is dedicated to my sister and I know that my sister will read it soon. But , still I don't know if she could figure it out that its me, her bro. But I know if she can find me inside this then she will mail me. That's the Jadugaari.Writing this post far away from my sis here at JAPAN is the only way I can show how important she is for me.

Enough hints for the Sherlock Holmes.

When GOD sent me to this earth, he said - my dear child there will be one person in this earth who will become ur reason to smile and with whom you can share every thing. Truely, she is my best pal.

When I am lonely, she is with me.

When I pray, she is my wish.
When I cry, she is the shoulder.
When I enjoy, she is the friend.
When I do something wrong,
she is my mom(Mom sorry I didn't tell u that I have started smoking).
When I reach late,
she is waiting for me.
When I hang out,
she misses me.

She is younger than me,
so I am the boss.
She is preety and childish,
so I love her.
She is naughty,
so I teach her .

She is my day,
so I kiss her
She is life, so I live her.

Live Life King Size: as u said sis. So, don't worry sis, I am fine here. We all are human beings and so we have to see all shades of life.

PS: I know I am not a poet. So sorry for the rhyming scheme. ;)

OOOoooooooohhh lala....: Its JAPAN

I am writing this blog with mixed sense of happiness and new things about Nippon...



My dil goes .....mmmmmmmmm... I am writing this post from Japan. I am here for some onsite work for a big MNC. Well, this is my first international trip. The feelings of leaving IGI Airport and arriving at Tokyo's was somewhat inexplicable.
First time in my life I have seen and mesmerized on many things. These feelings prompted me to write some of those experiences.
Well, I have seen sun rising at 2:30 a.m. Indian Time (from the airbus). The view was awsome. After getting to Tokyo , I had a chance to visit Otaru (a sea- shore).
The place was like mountains covered with snows on one side and
pacific ocean on the other , and you are standing in between them. Man !!! I just wish that you were there to see the nature and its beauty when the sun was just going down from the ocean end. I was just dumb in those 5 minutes.
I can now say that I lived some beautiful moments of my life.


But Japan is more than that. This is the only country which has made US 2nd with respect to the high speed trains and the automobiles. It is very ridiculous that most of the developed countries are English speaking and even some of the dominant countries are English speaking, still you cannot overcome Japan w.r.t. any other country.
People here, are very shy to speak English as they are not confident in it. They believe in good command over whatever they do. It's really inspiring.

The humble and honest nature of a Japanese even with a foreigner is really appreciable.
I know its the heritage, a generation keeps following. So, as an Indian it may seems not good when we compare ourseleves with them as we are from different heritage.
But at some points I really wanted to compare ourseleves.

I may be wrong with the below written arguments as I am not a historian or economist. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Post independence, we knew that we were completely devastated by the British. So, if we knew our position earlier, why didn't we came up with something fundamental. Please don't crib about the Democracy and 5 year plans . My point is, what it was that originated corruption. OR boldly saying why there was loop-whole in the Democracy.
We still complain our trains running late. We still advice the foreigners to be careful of "thugs"when they visit India. Well, its a debatable topic. But I see a serious flaw in making rules and policies.

We like our country to be such that its products whether in IT, automobile , tourism, are to be trusted, but still we can't think in that way. I wanted to know why???

The penultimate aim


Welcome to this earth. May GOD bless you. You are so cute. May you become famous....
These are some of the words we hear when a baby is born. These are the words that are blessings from others to the baby to live and survive in this beautiful world.

The day when that baby gets concious about the world, starts feeling of how to become rich , how to rise high with respect to both in status and life. We get these feelings when we see others performing the same. I agree that altough these are materialistics and we all need those to survive. But is that the penultimate aim in our life? Do we really want these things? If you ask from your inner self, you feel that you are confused. Do we all wanted to die after making money and living lavishingly? But we have to die. So I will place the death cycle at the ULTIMATE aim in life, as we all know that we WILL die one day. Since the word WILL is used, its better we use it like our aim , and thus the ULTIMATE aim.

But what should be our aim just before we leave this world. So let's place that goal in the PENULTIMATE aim in our life.
When we become materialistic, we only consider "me" word. Once we achieve the aim of getting a good job, respect and recognition, we still feel something is missing in life. Your subconcious mind is still not happy with the achievements.
Why you are feeling so? Well, I am not a saint or philosopher, so my logic may be unsatisfactory. For me the human body is made up of five elements.So that's a common constituton in all of us. The feelings are same when we hate, love and respect others. So, I feel there is only one thing that can satisfy us, and we all can keep that thing in our PENULTIMATE aim (last but one).
And that is to help human beings. The route to achieve this may be many, but the choice is completely yours.
If you wanted to die after making money, or having loving wife/husband , or serving your children or performing your materialistic goals, then you can always do it. But when you reach your ULTIMATE goal, just ask urself in a microsecond before that ULTIMATE aim is executed. You will feel that you lived for nothing.
People will forget you within a month. But you had lived longer than one month on this earth. So why is that the value of your life is only one month with respect to the rememberance and not more . Why is it not inevitable.
It's because you had never tried to do what your real inner self told . You had spent life in lust, position and competition.
Thus for me life is an opportunity to achieve our PENULTIMATE AIM.
