2 quakes one after another

5:09 AM the shaking was intense that it woke me and i could find it was still shaking.
Just few hours back on Sunday we had another one while I was in the corridor just out of lift on 14th. i could hear the sound and suddenly realized we were shaking!
The morning one here.
Thanks God He is in control always!

Rezokuuu!!!!

Rezokuuuu-> Refridgerator.

After the move to Kawasaki, Finding a refrigerator within my needs and quality was one of the toughest challenges i had. No doubt I had a very rough time with some Japanese traders who are pretty famous around. But the experiences were so bad that they did not even have a sense that they are dealing with powerful and potential customers.

Had made several visits to several shops and recycling guys for the fridge but never could get the right one with the right price. I was almost getting the deal done with the Japanese trader but at last he messed up putting his ignorance on what I had selected being to his place! You can imagine how brilliant these fellows can be in business despite their age! After a Long time in my life I lost respect for yet another senior person (seniors and kids usually deserve respect for reasons as per my principles).
Well it is the peak of summer in Japan and i ended up daily reaching home after the drenched walk form the station and purchasing a drink or chilled water form the Vending machine.

Almost 2 months without the Fridge and i have been praying and cooking and buying supplies on a daily basis.
At lasts spotted one on the net (after days and days of search from India and Japan) and communicated to the owner after a mutual agreement on the Fridge. I was supposed to call the next day and in the evening when I called I came to know to my weirdest surprise that the lady had sold off the Fridge to some one whom she thought was me! Damn !!!!! I was like what is going on????
But Just similar to my days after college when failure after failure struck i always believed in my strength being with my Strong and powerful Lord and been praying and hoping in faith. I just took it as per the purpose and His will and soon I see another one on line and send in a request. Amey too informs me the next day on the same offer and I confirm that this is already requested.

In 2 days Flat I received the Fridge delivered in my Kitchen thanks to the wonderful family previous owners of the refrigerator TIM and AMANDA and praise God for them and all that happened. When the deal was struck I was praising God because it came with even better things and blessings than I wanted and imagined for,.
As I always say that is our Lord. He knows what we need even before we ask and those who have faith in Him will never be despised and What God has kept in store for us, none of us can comprehend, nor imagine!
He is an awesome God. Glad to meet the family strong in their faith and also that I was given a beautiful Fridge a very new one indeed with a great Christian family introduced! Blessings! And above all Praise Him our Lord who is indeed magnificent!

A rare encounter with Maiko sans

Me and a Geisha at the Atami station. It is indeed a very tough sight unless you are in Kyot to meet a Geisha. Maiko sans were kind enough to agree for a snap with her and this is one of th most special experiences in Japan. Very authentic and deeprooted cultural aspect of this nation. I was on my way back form the camping at Oshima on a hot summer day!
To read more on Geishas and their cultural influience and the true identity, Pleae check out the Suggested reading 'Meomirs of a Geisha' or watch the Movie. Lot of the wrong prenotions would be shockingly one and it will helpt to understand their importance and worth in this eartern ortodox culture of the Japanese Island.

Packet Death !

One of the most interesting things that any outsider would notice in Japan is the adhesiveness of all age groups to their ketais, every moment they had to spare.Mails and free services are always in used but still all the transactions(e- commerce)and data hungry users are always keeping the network bubbling and active!
Interesting features and promotions are all in the air in this country and this is indeed a creative use of time and electronics and the spectrum i would say. Almost all of your internet life can be switched from all your fingers typing on a PC keyboard to both your thumbs the moment you get mobile.
Thanks to the thousands of ketai models and the tough competition and creative innovations over the cellphones in Japan. I often ask my Japanese friends a questions: What happens if the internet is gone on one fine day and they find that they can no longer get the data at their finger tips.

Interesting are the answers!!.
By the way read below on the Novels written over the cell phones and what really impresses me that so many people in this nation has weird new ideas and there are so many to cling on and several success stories emerge! In a sense i would say. Amazing utilization of resources.

What is the most interesting is the 'packet death' syndrome described in the article lols. Yes i have heard from several of my friends here in Japan about the shocking PD bill at the end of the month lols :) :)
Read here :).

You could easily be a victim if you are a Data hungry user in Japan!

Internet is gonna be an old fashion soon?

Japan seems to be working too much into the future! And they want to take the lead in the post internet era! Special task forces are being setup to monitor a transition into the next age communication levels

Well the punch Headline reads "Japan working to replace the Internet" (Read here)

The Japanese - Art of living /style of living

Hara hachi bunme !!!
This is something very important and wonderful i learn from one of my most revered senior managers in Japan. He had explained about this while on a business trip with him and How Japanese stuck to the old age disciplines.
And no doubt the ways and living styles are extraordinarily different but the ubiquitous habits that can be seen all over Japan are something unique and special.Of course you experience it everyday but if you really have it in th Japanese Discipline and patterns then a whole new experience is for sure!

The Longevity in japan are attributed to many of these habits and lifestyles followed for years. Longevity - About 25,000 Japanese are above 100 years ?? They survived some of the worst of the wars and Natural disasters and diseases and still you can see many so very energetic and genki.

Here are some straight forward fact on Japanese living. National geographic has stated them sharp and straight. All I may not agree with is the title of Simple living which i do not see all the time around (May be Because Tokyo is considered very different from the rest for japan due to the urbanization and cramming of Time and space in this city.)

Make sure you visit the Photo Gallery and the Health Tips on the page.

Yes all those stated in each of those tabs on the page are facts and i have been blessed to experience at least 60% of them during my stay here in Tokyo.
All that i may not agree with is the Header "Simple Living in Japan" which is at times i feel is too complicated with people Living within themselves and the complexities growing up the stacks!

Its different and definitely rewarding and at times painful. The latter may be on the extremes though.
But one thing i wont forget,

Hara hachi bunme !!!
Special thanks to Matsuzaki san :)
