![]() Along with 50 other students, I was selected under the JENESYS
programme as a part of the 5th and last batch to visit
Japan.
JENESYS - Japan East Asia Network for Exchange of Students and Youth - is a programme involving the exchange of more than 250 students every year for five years from various East Asian Countries. This was started by Mr. Shinzo Abe, former Prime Minister of Japan during the East Asian Summit, with the objective of promoting mutual understanding among ASEAN youth. Our group assembled at Hotel Samrat in Delhi on the
22nd of June. We were divided into three groups-Hokkaido, Hyogo
and Aichi, which are the names of the three prefectures that each group
visited. I was a part of Aichi group.(23rd)The next day, after
a pre departure orientation about Japan-India friendship, Japanese culture
and send off party, we left for Narita
Airport.
24th Jun - We landed at Tokyo in the morning at
5.30 a.m. We made our first visit to imperial palace, the home of the
emperor and empress. That evening, we took a walk in the beautiful streets
of Tokyo, also known as the city of lights.

where Prof. Paul Snowden, dean of the School of international and liberal
studies gave us a lecture about Japan. We also visited MIRAIKAN Science

Language Lesson.
27th to 29th Jun - The next day, we visited
Chigusa High School. We met the students, at whose house we were going to
stay for the next three days. We attended classes, and went home with our
host sisters. I stayed with the Toya family, a very gentle and kind family
of four, and a dog. Over the next three days, they took me to various
places like Nagoya Port aquarium, Tokugawen-a traditional Japanese Garden,
and Midland Square-the tallest building in Aichi. On Sunday, we parted
from our host families and rejoint out group. In the evening we visited
the Toyota Museum.

Toyota City. The most amazing was the Toyota automobile factory, where we
saw rthe Toyota Partner Robot playing a song on a
trumpet.
1st Jul - On the first of July, we moved back to
Tokyo. That day, we visited the Edo-tokyo Museum, and the astonishingly
tall Tokyo Tower. At 333 meters, it is the tallest structure in
Japan.
2nd Jul - The next day, we visited Asakusa, where
we saw the charming Sensoji temple. That evening we had a workshop
presentation session, where each group made a presentation on what they
had observed and learnt in Japan. This was followed by a farewell dinner,
where various students presented dances, songs to show the culture of
India. Our group made a presentation to show how many languages India has,
by saying the line “We will miss you all and we will never forget you” in
15 different Indian languages.
3rd Jul - The next morning we returned to India. This
trip has taught me so much about the Japanese qualities of discipline and
cleanliness. I will be forever indebted to the government of India and
japan for giving so many of us such a wonderful experience. I also thank
our principal and all my teachers for their support
throughout.
SQUASHING OUT ODDSShreyas Talpade did it on reel. Ankit Acharya does it for real. If the former staved off his disabilities to conquer the game of cricket in the Bollywood flick, Iqbal, one look inside the squash courts of Bombay Gymkhana will present a classic case of life imitating art. His speech and hearing impairment have not restrained Ankit from playing squash. At the Maharashtra State Open Squash Tournament on Saturday, a zealous Ankit gestured to his parents who were present to watch his match. Ankit’s enthusiasm for squash has shown an upward trend since he began playing the sport five months ago.
