One day a boy named Jack came home from school and
went to his room to do his homework. Jack sighed and
said "Boy, this homework is hard, if only I could be an
alien, it would have been better!"

Jack started to do his homework, and after a few minute
something strange happened and Jack's room began to
spin. When Jack got off from the floor where he'd fallen
down when the room spun.

Jack was wondering why the room was spinning. He
looked out the window and saw the earth really far away
from his house!!!!

Greetings to all….from the Land of the Rising Sun. I think
I am lucky to be always in or around the land where the
sun rises. There is Arunachal, bordering my native
Assam where the Sun rises majestically to bring a new
day in 'Bharat-borxo' by blessing its blue mountains with
the first rays of sunshine. And here it is Nippon, the 'Land
of the Rising Sun' and my present abode. Yeah, I am
talking about the land of 'Samurai, Sashimi and Sushi',
the land of 'Kimono'. At least that was all I knew about

This has become even more apparent in the recent past
and some people on both sides of the fence (and on the
fence) have spoken about it. But obviously the concept is
deep and extends far beyond cursory comments, into the
general public, the media and the government.

It is increasingly common to see many Indian middle-
class people with a "bugged-with-life-and-hell-breaking-
loose" attitude! Are there any justifications for this
apparent pessimism?
