On Top of the World - Life at Tokyo : Chapter 1

Tokyo, lot of things flashes in mind Busy Crowd, Trains, Japanese People, Dragon Ball, etc. But when i visited Tokyo in 2015 December, i did not have any of these thoughts. My relatives and Friends said me "its totally out of the world", "Its rest of the world vs Tokyo". My only aim was to visit a foreign country and make some good money back that time.
Besides lots of problems personally this voyage gave me the courage to see life from a different view. My journey started on 30 Nov from Bangalore where i said "tata bye bye see u, take care" and all those blah blah.

@Bangalore International Airport

1st December evening 4 PM i landed in Narita International Airport, Tokyo. 
@Narita international Airport
Though i was wearing my jacket, i felt the chill in the air and could easily recognize it was the air conditioner. And then i reached the counter for picking up the Airport Limousine ticket and exit the airport.
A sudden breeze of chill air flushed my face, body and made me shiver briefly. This time it was powerful than the air conditioner inside the airport.
@Airport Limousine Bus in Tokyo

I quickly boarded the bus and reached the "Shinnagawa Prince hotel". From there i took a local taxi and reached the hotel. The taxi was a black Toyota crown, a mid aged man with black suite and a white gloves in his left hand assisted me in loading my luggage in the taxi. With no internet connection and with just a screen shot of the apartment address, the driver took me with not much of a chaos to the apartment located in JAPT Gotanda. To be mentioned here, he could not read english, neither could i understand japanese. But somehow made it to the apartment. There was the locker which had the keys for my room. The locker is not like anyother, they had a combination of 4 to the left, 3 to the write, x to the center, bla bla. Give me the keys!!!
As i entered the room, most of them were so new to me. Like the operations on Gas Stove, Bathroom Heater, no water in toilet (of course for washing) but only papers.

As i moved the curtain, there was this superb view of the city from my balcony

Electronic stuffs from Japan are the best of quality. There are a few electronic shopping malls which you find in many areas of Tokyo. Like, big camera, yodobashi akiba etc.
I went to this yodobashi akiba shop in Akihabara for getting mobile and some good internet plans. And then i got Iphone 6 as my wife was wanting an iphone, even though i dont like iphones.

Conscious and Sub Conscious Mind

Image
Beautifully said by Shiv Kerra in his book "You can Win" Conscious mind is something which can think, accept or reject. But subconscious is something which just accepts. Its very important which is fed into your mind. Feelings like anger, fear, failure, doubt, hate are not supposed to be, because the auto suggestions immediately active from your subconscious mind. So what happens when this is activated ? Simple, your subconscious mind simply accepts them and your body and mind starts reacting to it. Its always better and good to feed your subconscious mind with good and positive thoughts. The control to your subconscious mind is with your conscious mind. Subconscious like the automobile, but the conscious mind is like the driver which needs to drive it. The Subconscious mind can either work for us or against us. It all depends on how we train it and how we drive it. Subconsciously, certain things like emotions, habits, beliefs, long term memories are stored. Du

Tricky Java Interview Questions - Part 1

Hi Folks, any java interview you go there will definitely be certain tricky question they tend to ask and sometimes even to write the program in a white board. Here im planning to bring all those questions together in one page, so that i can be helpful for me and also you guys to refer once before the interview. 1. I had this question with a famous MNC in the 1st technical round. They gave me the below code snippet and told to write any thing after this statement and nothing before this. Expected output : Print 1 2 3 .... 100 Code : for(int i=0; i> Working code Answer : for(int i=0; i>=0;) { if(i==100) { break; } System.out.println(++i); } This is pretty simple but can be tough to quickly derive the logic at that point of time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. This question was asked to me during an interview to test not only my java basic programmi
