It had been in the making for quite sometime, actually multiple years. We applied for entry with charity, got into the race in 2020, but then Covid hit. So for the last two years the race kept getting postponed. The stars finally aligned this year and the race is on and we are on our way there. At this moment, on March 1st, 2023, at about 7 pm Eastern time, I am writing this on my new MacAir, in the plane, half way to Tokyo, to the enigmatic mysterious island of Japan. All I know of the place is that Japanese are amongst the most polite people I have ever met. I also have some patchwork of information bits such as, the US nuclear bombed this country during tenuous WW2 conflict and that this is an aging, hardworking society of very proud citizens, that have held on to their culture and traditions even against the onslaught of mad relentless westernization the world has seen over the last couple of hundred years, colonization and all. I also know some about their bloody history of of war

 She was a sight to behold, a lovely story to be told, She was a moment frozen in time, as my arms kept her in their hold. Her lips like petals of lotus , her hair covering her face like a flower in the mist’s fold, Eyes those shine like stars , her skin like a tapestry woven in gold. A touch that makes you feel alive , a kiss that freezes time,  An embrace that feel like a crisp fall day and sound of a distant wind chime  A story that will never end , a moment that will last a lifetime,  She was beautiful, she was surreal, she was sublime.

 Itni jaldi bhi kya thi dost, kuch der aur to rukta  Yun to baat karne ko to kuch khaas nahin hota Par agar tu hota to tere na hone ka ehsaas nahin hota Itni bhi kya jaldi thi dost …. Rah bhi nahi badlegi aur Zindagi usi raftaar se chalegi Safar mein saath hota to khoob jamti , rahon mein teri kami zaroor khalegi Itni bhi kya jaldi thi dost….  Kuch aur khaniyan likhte zindagi ki kitaab mein, Kuch aur saal jud jaate dosti ke hisaab mein , Itni bhi kya jaldi thi dost… Alvida to kehna hee tha ek din par, Itni bhi kya jaldi thi dost …
