My Version of the "Madras to Pondicherry" story... Not as interesting as the original one but surely has raised mixed emotions in me.
Nov Last Week: My last week in Japan. I really felt sad about leaving Japan. I missed my friends, weekend travels, Ultra clean city, Tokyo Metro, Friendly Japanese people and lot other stuff... I have traveled so much in Japan, North South East and West of Tokyo, I don’t have a count of the places I have visited. One thing I was happy about leaving was the work. One that has become so routine and boring as well and I was all alone too.
Dec 1st Week: Returned to India after hectic last few days in Japan with loads of handover, last minute issues, tickets booking and of course farewell parties ;) . As I was supposed to stay in India for only one week, had to do offshore handover, FOREX settlements, Philippines VISA, blah blah blah... All official nonsense...never had time to spend some time with my friends in Bangalore. Not even had time even to finish the Bottles which I bought in Duty-free. But the next 5 days I stayed in my home town was really memorable... Played cricket daily with my friends... met my cousins... and of course home food after a long long time.
Dec 2nd week: I landed in Philippines on Dec 11th... the land of babes and beaches and that’s true... u can find good looking girls everywhere... The density of good looking girls is so much that one surely will be awestruck and jawstruck ;) (Jollu in Tamil). Now after 4 months here I don’t miss Japan anymore now… Beer, babes and beaches… That’s what gets me going nowadays ;)… Lots of things to know and lots of places to explore…
Life doesn’t/hasn’t change(d) much… Only those who I travel with have changed… (Moral of my story/ Thatuvam of the Day)…
Climbing up on foot took almost 1.5 hours but climbing down through ropeway hardly took 5 mins... Climbing up was really hard as it was very slippery and there were very few crazy fellow climbers to make us feel comfortable...As you can see, the way up is hardly in use...
A look at the study by CARMA(Carbon Monitoring for Action) would show you how much the so called "Developed Nations" are polluting the earth.
TOP 10 EMITTERS
National power sector emissions (in tonnes of CO2):
US - 2,530 million
China - 2,430 million
Russia - 600 million
India - 529 million
Japan - 363 million
Germany - 323 million
Australia - 205 million
South Africa - 201 million
UK - 192 million
South Korea - 168 million
The most interesting fact is the per capita CO2 emission.
Australia - 10.0 tonnes
US - 8.2 tonnes
UK - 3.2 tonnes
China - 1.8 tonnes
India - 0.5 tonnes
You can dig deeper in the CARMA site for details of every power plant(50,000 power plants in their database). I was checking India and surprisingly, almost all of the high CO2 emiiting plants in India are loacted in Tamilnadu :(

One of the largest Buddha statue in Japan: 21.3 meters high. Quite far from Tokyo (almost takes 2/2.5 hrs) but its worth a day trip and theres not much crowd. We climbed the mountain on foot but better to take the Ropeway because there nothing much on the way up.
How to get there-> Tokyo (--Keiyo line-->) Soga (--Uchibo line-->) Hama Kanaya

What to say... losing the match when on the brink of victory... Indians bottled the match high time yesterday... I didn’t watch the match LIVE, but was checking the live commentary and also the post match reviews… few things I think changed/might have changed the match result.
-> The Indian middle order collapse when we were cruising. Maybe Indians missed Dravid yesterday. I don’t see a point in including him for the third one day as its not going to serve any purpose pointed out by the selectors in dropping him (Giving Dravid a much needed rest or giving youngsters a chance)
-> Sehwag was not used for bowling. I would have preferred a few over’s from him, as he bowls wicket to wicket, not very expensive and can take wickets, instead of Ganguly bowling 9 overs or maybe few overs in the death when our main bowlers were expensive.
Bowler----------O-------M-------R-------W
Zaheer----------10.0----0-------70------1
RP Singh--------10.0----0-------59------2
Pathan----------9.5-----0-------53------1
Ganguly---------9.0-----0-------55------0
Harbhajan-------10.0----0-------65------2
Tendulkar-------1.0-----0-------11------0
-> Afridi – a hit or miss batsman. Was a hit yesterday
