A Nostalgic Call From Japan, A Recall of 'Jonaki' (Firefly)

A Long lost friend of mine called recently from Japan. It took me on a nonstalgic ride down the memory lane. We talked for along time .. about our early days of school and college, we talked about our those golden carefree days...coffee house days that seem will never come back except in our memories and sighs. Then we talked about our current days...

He has been living in Japan for about two decades. Married to a japanese lady and have two kids.

These intercultural unions are great sources of undrestanding the diverse world we all live in which, I beleive, contribute to world peace. Wishing my friend and his family and friends in Japan a happy, healthy, productive life. Jonaki has always been a favorite icon in my friend's life. That's why I chose to upload this photo of a little girl playing with a jar full of 'Jonaki's- the nostalgic fireflies! Don't we all long for such glowing moments in our lives?!
