Friendship Usually when we think of work life balance, we think of prioritizing between Career and Family. We hardly think of friendship as a priority. How do we know it? How often have we moved an official or family appointment to accommodate a friends visit or to attend an important event in a friends life. For first time in a while, I prioritized a friends appointment over other ones. Recently I traveled 9 hours up and down, to spend just 1 hour with a friend to attend his son's marriage. Both of us felt very happy we met today. We had lunch together. I greeted the newly married couple. Shared some funny stories from the past. Really enjoyed the brief time together.

My first visit to Tokyo Japan was in 2003, almost 21 years back. Must have been to Japan, half a dozen times in my APJ roles. Japan the country, and Japanese people, never cease to amaze me. My first impression of Japan as a foreigner in 2003, still remains fresh in my memory. The electric trains, the busy and energetic crowd, the clean surroundings, a sense of calm amidst chaos, the deep culture behind modern city, somehow reminded me of my hometown Madras (now Chennai).
