Hornless world
Related to country: Japan


Majority people of Japan have at least one car and mobile photo. In Bangladesh a car is symbol of luxury and richness, but here is the most essential communication tools. If some Japanese don’t have car, that mean s/he is not interested to work or introvert in character. Not only town and city, the village roads are well prepared for car. Every minutes cars run but I could not hear any horn sound. Everybody is busy but nobody wants to overlook other. Even one car don`t wants to overpass a bicycle, if s/he don`t give side. Within the business the Japanese don`t loss human tracks and dignity. Each other understand from selfless views.

But in Dhaka the reverse things is happening. Even one minutes can not pass without car horns, however 10% citizen don`t have car. Now I under how miserable the sound pollution and road traffic! In Dhaka we the car owner is used horn unnecessarily, in a sense expression of the car owner`s superiority as s/he is rich person. I have visited Japanese village. The farmer generally used pick up car, can go to their crop-field by car as well. However I could not extreme difference between Japanese village and town. Citizen facility are available equally both in village and town. Just village are dominant by crop-fields and towns are by building. As the citizen rights are ensured and life facility accessible, the villagers don`t want to migrate to city cordially. But presently young are moving little bit by the American cultural influence. However mid and old aged people live own town and eeryday return house without horn with meditative spirit.

Nippon election
Related to country: Japan


Yesterday the local government election in Japan has been finished. Now I am staying in a small town named `Iinomachi` of Fukushima ken. As my experience last week, I could not see more than one dozen people in election campaign. But in Bangladesh none political gathers happen less than hundred. Here election commission is very strict about the election law, procedure and implementation. No body can do pestering, spreading promotional maters as they like. There is a special place particularly community center or avenues, decided by local authority. People are also not interested to physical campaign, just reverse of Bangladesh. Majority people depend on media coverage and critiques.

I am surprised, even though in Bangladesh has thousands people participation in political and election campaign, but democratic rights are not ensured. Here corrupted politician don’t get any access to the majority people. The God father/ leader here can not be super hero as can be Bangladesh like country. I am surprised to see, the leader in Bangladesh is rich that Japanese leader. They spend and invest huge money for their political business. From this experience, my finding, in Japan Governments/ authority ensure democratic rights and rule of law. The crude reality Bangladesh like developing countries authority is central points for their nonprofessional services and unethical, disqualified official norms. But now I feel good to see a vision to change in national body in this caretaker government period. It may make positive trends.

Cultural influences
Related to country: Japan


Before my coming my son Coronet and wife came to Fukushima, Japan. After one month break two year old coronet when meet with me 29 March night. He embraces and welcome. He talks with me a strange language but I could not understand. But I understood he miss me lot, but did not forget to say, `Baba` (in Baba means father).

I asked my wife about Coronet language. She said, Coronet is now going to orientation school and within a month learn some Japanese words along with manner. Now he can eat by Hasi ( chopstick ) .

I carefully observe and understand the human nature and cultural practices from Coronet life. The child Coronet who one month before talk bangle (basic broken words) now he is talking Japanese. He did Namas (pray) Muslim way with my brother, but now following Japanese traditions (mixed with Sintu and Buddhism). I understand, how influence the culture and environment to human character. I am relief, if Coronet grows up with inter-cultural and or inter-national norms, he surely will not be `Ben Ladan `, or `Bangla bhai` or `Rab Shana`. He should not kill human before to protect culture and traditions. My vision is to educate him to be a `Peace Maker ` and Educator.
