One of my new year determinations was to get into the National Lilac Team of SGI UK, my interview date is 14th March and my 1st obstacle is on its way. The ticket prices are at sky rocking rates. I wonder how will i manage to get there...
but i am sure will get there somehow... lets wait and watch.

New Year
It's so true when Sensei say's "As practioners of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism we must work twice as hard as others."
New Year' eve is a day when people get drunk to welcome new begining of the 1st day of the new year, and finally land up staying hung over the entire day. This does not make sense to me. Viju and I went out for dinner, met few friends, few drinks and finally got back at 2 am, but then i woke up at 8 and started the New Year by attending the New Year meeting. The meeting was so cheerful and nice. I was exciting to see a bunch for 40 people chanting together on the New year. I guess this is what Sensei means by contributing twice as hard as others :). But the irony is that deep within me i never felt like a new year and a fresh start until i happened to read The Human Revolution Vol 3. The book came to me as a gift from the New Year's day meeting.
I was amazed by reading the 1st few pages of this book where Toda Sensei Say's "Just as last year? I would be extremely displeased if Mr... looked grumpy, just as last year..." and so on. One needs to read it to understand what i am trying to get at.Basically it was a slap in my back to say wake up girl... its a new year a fresh start and not just another year. From then on, i had this new list of determinations and started the year with a fresh vigor to win.
Thank you Sensei :)
