First time I traveled to Tokyo in June 2005, it was a Sunday. When I enquired about Japan before my travel, people scared me about Japan and their work culture, few of the points are Japanese work very hard & its impossible to get adjusted to their work culture, language problem , no Indian food so on….I landed in Tokyo with all those apprehensions in Mind, to reach guest house from airport I have to change three trains and a taxi. Through out my travel from airport, every where people wearing formals with suits, even taxi driver also wearing formal dress, it was a summer season at that time. Already people warned about Japanese work culture , after seeing formal dresses that to on Sunday afternoon, my future is in front of my eyes. But all that was a myth, reality is different. I stayed for exactly one year in Tokyo, that was best part of my life, will write all my experiences in a different blog, as the reason for this blog is altogether different. In my one year life, I have hardly seen people wearing casual dress to office. Even while my travels on weekend percentage of people who wear casual dresses is few.
From the past few months observed ads in Singapore captioned as Japanese best brands. Most of them are electronics ads, Japanese already proved to rest of the world about their capabilities in electronics, so no wonder people show interest in buying Japanese electronics products. Even myself when I am abroad, I buy Japanese brands without even second thought, I go for other brand only if Japanese brand is not available , that’s the trust I am carrying about Japan and its people.
Today while traveling, found the ad as “JAPAN’S NUMBER ONE CASUAL WEAR BRAND” and rates starts from very high price, people are relatively in large numbers at this shop. I have hardly seen people wearing casuals in Japan , in Singapore people are buying by paying higher prices just it is tagged as Japan’s brand. If we go by percentage statistics of casual dresses wearing people, may be every country will beat Japan. So how would Japanese brand will be more saleable in Singapore than any other western brand. So many answers coming to my mind, in few words “JAPANESE PEOPLE’S ATTITUDE IS THE BEST SO IS THEIR PRODUCTS” ..
Would I ever be able to any ad abroad saying “INDIA’S BEST BRAND HAS ARRIVED ABORAD”,??? Yes why not, definitely. It’s all with attitude.
Vegetarianism: In tea time, my friend was telling his side of stories as “ he wants to stop eating nonveg food but……… “, I also have similar stories of but…..then I immediately told that “I will stop nonveg food from now onwards”,.. he also said “ he will also stop”. All this happened 10 days before and so far it is going well. I don’t know what prompted me to take that decision at that moment, may be expecting that reply from my friend .Few others still suspecting my ability to continue vegetarianism, I don’t have any doubt , I will be continuing same state forever.
Spirituality: Sanjeev my colleague invited me for spirituality he is following, attended three classes so far, though it will be difficult for me to worship any individual ,but I am taking what ever appealing to me. Interestingly in today’s “satsang”, preacher mentioned about vegetarian food.
While returning from Spirituality class by train, one man practicing drawings in train, he was drawing pictures of people sleeping in the train, in less than a minute he was drawing one picture. Lovely live pictures of the people in a moving train in few seconds , what else could be amazing more than this?? I approached that person and requested to draw my picture as well. He felt happy for recognizing his talent and accepted my request. I was moving poses in between , he wasted three papers in drawing my picture, my stop has arrived , finally he gave me one of my ok kind of drawing and he apologized me for not giving his best, rather giving his worst. All this happened in 5 to 7 minutes time. Attached is the drawing.
Went for a telugu movie, “Ye maaya chesaave”. Yesterday night friend sms ed me that “ this movie is not for us, its for below 20 years age, don’t go for it”, despite of his warning still went for the movie. Through out the movie I was in trance, movie mesmerized me, I will be carrying that feelings through out my life, I was just seeing my wife character in female lead. I kindly requested friends many time not to give any unwanted suggestions at lest for me but who bothers to listen me. I would have missed life time experience if I missed this movie.
Its 3 am now and have to sleep for few hours before I do some passionate work next week.
