The world around me... some wandering thoughts

When a job is done with utmost interest and commitment, no other enjoyment is equivalent to it. I believe, if we do a thing with real interest and true commitment it will be a success always. Realizing the final outcome of that effort will be amazing. Satisfaction got from the output of such a job can't be compared with any thing else. More than just a mere job it will be a personal bond with life. It will become the first priority in life. All these are not realized when things move in the right path. When some thing wrong happens unfortunately and all the efforts go off with out any gain.....nothing is bad as like that...it’s not so easy to accept such things to happend....

It was a Sunday and I was awakened at abt 6:15 am itself by a short tremor which last for hardly less than a min. Then came the news, sea water is getting into the city, Chennai.... no one judged tht it's Tsunami, the killer wave... its an unforgettable day which changed the life of many. Second one... it happened just 3 days after I landed in Tokyo in August 2005. It's nearly 3'O clock, after the noon. I felt as something is shaking ...oh my goodness it’s an earth quake..the building shaked for nearly 3 times. I was shocked.

Sakura(サクラ) is the unofficial National Flower of Japan. It's in the end of March, Sakura blooms in Tokyo region of Japan. Sakura... the Cherry blossom begins by Feb. end in Okinawa region, eventually moves to Kansai and Tokyo regoin by March end and then proceeds to Hokkaido region in few weeks.

Viewing Sakura... nature's beauty in Japan along with hi-fi technical implementations of this developed nation is an unforgettable experience. Sakura is one of the beautiful creations of God.

Closing ceremony of 18th edition of Common Wealth Games : With the pride to host next event of Common wealth Games, India had a major role to play. The country with diversified history, culture welcomed Common Wealth Games 2010 in Delhi with dance of it's ex. Ms World and Ms Universe. Who's it that brilliant idea to make Rani and Aaishwarya to dance in a sports meet? It's not a bollywood award function. Media came out with the snaps of Aishwarya and Sushmitha... but where gone is the best athlete of Common Wealth Games 2006, Samaresh Jung. Don't we have any thing else other than bollywood to potray our culture and tradition? 2010 is supposed to be the time when sports will take precedence in this country and unfortunately the beginning was the biggest disappointment ever!!!!
