2 Dear Alumni, Dear Friends, As you are aware, JICA is responsible for the technical cooperation aspect of Japan s Official Development Assistance (ODA).Technical cooperation is aimed at effective transfer of technology and knowledge through the human element that can contribute to the nation-building efforts of developing countries as they shape their destiny with their own hands and through their own efforts. This human element is you all the past participants. It is my earnest desire to see you all involved in the nation- building efforts by sharing the information and knowledge acquired through the training programs to your fellow workers. It is noteworthy that JAAI is strengthening its activities day by day and I hope that with the launch of its website, it could reach out to all the members, even outside Delhi. I wish JAAI another eventful year which would increase manifold the friendship and goodwill between the people of India and Japan. My best wishes, (Toshifumi Sakai) It gives me great pleasure to send the New Year 2004 Greetings to all the Alumni. Incidentally it may be mentioned that the current Executive Committee will be completing its 2-year tenure on 31st March During this period the JAAI has been very active and organized several scientific and cultural programmes. We also participated in the Golden Jubilee celebrations of Indo-Japanese Cooperation and the friendship of the two great democracies. The Seminar was jointly organized by the Indo-Japanese Associations, viz. Mombushco Scholar Association of India (MOSI), JICA Alumni Association of India (JAAI) and AOTS Alumni Society. Besides this cultural shows organized by the Japan Embassy, especially the Drum Show, were highly appreciated. JAAI has now completed more than 35 years of its existence, when we started with only a few members, which has now risen to more than 750, the number which is ever increasing. JICA has been very active in extending the technical cooperation and overseas development assistance to a large number of countries in various fields. Now JICA has assumed more powers and responsibilities in carrying out various programmes, as JICA now enjoys more autonomy and fiscal powers. Friends, science and technology must improve our society as a whole and not merely a section of it. Our trained scientists and technocrats are capable and will achieve the distant goal in their respective fields. I wish them all success. (Dr. M.M. Singh) President, JAAI 2

3 Asimo, The Humanoid Robot Visits India His Excellency Mr. Akira Hayashi, the Ambassador of Japan in India, hoisted an ASIMO show at this residence before a select audience. ASIMO is an advanced step in innovative technology, developed by HONDA Japan on 31st October 2000 after intensive research and trial of experiment modules and prototypes. It is a revolutionary achievement by HONDA Engineers and a challenge to autonomous locomotion. ASIMO can walk, run, climb steps and even dance. ASIMO greets the audience and can answer pre-programmed questions from audience. ASIMO is a two legged Humanoid Robot that can serve and live in harmony with human society. ASIMO is 120 cms tall and weighing just 52 kilograms. ASIMO is just a start in keeping with the Japanese challenging spirit. Dr. M.M Singh, President, JAAI His Exellency Mr. & Mrs Akira Hayashi and Dr. M.M. Singh with ASIMO Impressions of a First Time Visitor to Japan! Even as a child of five, from the time my father showed me some slides of Japan and its people, it was a cherished dream of mine to visit this lovely land. Little did I realise that nearly three decades later my dream would come true! I felt very privileged when JICA selected me as a participant from India for the Country-Focussed Training Programme on "HIV/AIDS Control Plan",. I was very enthusiastic about visiting a developed country and learning new technologies. I was thoroughly impressed by the way JICA took care of me right from the start and made all the arrangements for my travel. Finally, the D-Day arrived and I flew off to my dream destination! Upon my arrival in Osaka, every arrangement for travel within the city and stay was effectively made and things moved without a hitch. At OSIC, JICA staff took complete charge and went about it in a methodical way. First few days included briefing sessions and orientation courses, which were very important to acclimatize the participants to the new place and environment. They explained all about the facilities available at OSIC, took us to the bank to operate our accounts and explained to us, through videos and lectures, the lifestyle in Japan. Then began our course proper. During this period, we were taken through some excellently delivered lectures, healthy discussions, chat sessions with various health care personnel and NGOs, tours and observations of places and institutions. During the practical sessions, the staff at all the institutions went about their work in real earnest and spent a lot of time and effort in making us understand the intricacies of the various procedures and patiently let us learn and do things, and thus acquire a hands-on experience of procedures, many of which were new to us. JICA had even charted out interesting programmes for the evenings at OSIC, in order to ensure a fruitful utilisation of time. I made full use of all the enjoyable classes and courses, including Japanese language classes, Tea ceremony classes, computer classes and the like. I also joined a group song event which was presented by participants from various countries on the "International Friendship Gathering" Day. The weekends were spent in travel and sight-seeing at nearby cities. By the end of the course, apart from the knowledge gained in my field of work, Japan and JICA gave me an insight into several precious skills and knowledge for me to take home, cherish and incorporate in my lifestyle. The Japanese people are very thorough and complete in whatever they embark upon. Their organizational skills are certainly laudable. They plan their activities meticulously, wherein every minute detail is taken care of, be it travel arrangements or maps for directions or laboratory facilities or even recreational activities. Also, the co-operation and team spirit among the members of a team is truly commendable. Inter-personnel relationships and the handling of subordinate staff by senior staff have to be seen to be believed. All in all, it was a very rewarding and enriching experience in terms of both knowledge and technical know-how. As a parting shot, I must mention that, one of the most important events of this trip has been the golden opportunity of meeting and interacting with participants from various other countries and courses. It was wonderful to mingle with and learn about other countries, their people, customs and culture. Some of these chance encounters often end in true bonding and friendship. This goes a long way in fostering a feeling of oneness and brotherhood of man among participants.this certainly is one of JICA's major achievements! Thank you, JICA, and all its wonderful staff!

11 My Salute to Terumi San, my Japnese Mom... It is almost five years, since I returned from Kitakyushu, my JICA Training Centre but the memories of my host family, Terumi san (Ms Terumi Araki), is still afresh in my mind. During my five months stay in Kyushu International centre (KIC), she was always there. As my host Mom, she never let me feel lonely, almost every weekend used to organise parties where as many as 20 to 50 guest were invited, and I was always present their as a host, like her son. It was amazing to see her strength at such an age(70 plus). We used to cook Indian food many a times. Even during a KIA carnival she made many Indian dishes like Chicken Pulao and I was standing beside her selling the Indian food. Otto San( Mr. Araki) was very sick and remained hospitalised most of the time, and many a times I saw this in her sad eyes. However, this never let her spirits down. She was always there in forefront of activities of Kitakyushu International Association(KIA). Most of the time as many as 5 to7 foreign students were staying in her house. She was mother to some and grandma to some. Today when present issue of Sahyog is going for printing, I got her mail,.she was very sad. Otto san was no more.her husband died after a long fight with cancer and I prayed for his soul. sent her mail.and prayed the almighty to give her strength to bear this great loss. Small Wonders - The Art of Bonsai Ms. Terumi Araki at Kitakyushu International centre with JICA training participants..i am sure, she has strength to fight back.and carry on the flame of Good work she is doing. My salute to Terumi San,. My Japanese Mom -Arun Mahendru,, Secretary JAAI Md. Zakaria Khan Yusufzai, Member Exe. Body JAAI The word bonsai ( pronounced bone-sigh ) is derived from the Japanese written characters Bon meaning a small shallow container and Sai meaning planting. A bonsai then is a miniature potted plant which can lay claim to be true art form like a painting or a piece of sculpture when its symmetry creates a feeling of beauty. Contrary to popular belief, bonsai is neither genetically dwarfed plant nor is it kept small by cruelty in any way. b. Plant the tree in the pot off its centre. Add more soil to cover the roots. c. First water the soil and then the entire tree from tip to bottom. Styling : Bonsais are modeled after their natural shape. So, it is best to train a bonsai to form a specific style in keeping with the natural form of the species. This is done by : Each bonsai has its own personality which requires constant attention like a child. Bonsai unlike their natural counterpart can live easily in regions that are not their natural habitat. Growing and maintaining bonsai is a tedious task requiring a lot of perseverance, and unlike other plants it takes ages to get the required shape. But with dedicated effort, one can create marvels in a small pot. Following are the basic tips to start growing bonsai as a hobby. Plants : Almost all trees and shrubs can be successfully adopted for bonsai, except few species with long leaves. Indian plants such as junipers, pilkhan, banyan and other ficus varieties are hardy and easy to work with, for the beginners. Other ornamental plants like orange, neem, pomegranate, peepal, mulberry, adenium etc. can also be tried. The first step is to select the required plant. One may initially buy them from the nursery. Potting: Any decorative ceramic and low bottom pot is suitable for bonsai, however, terracotta ones are the best. For potting : a. Take an appropriate sized pot. Cover its drainage hole with mesh. Fill the bottom with coarse lumpy soil. Next, add a small amount of top soil over it. a. Removing buds. b. Pruning branches. c. Changing the curve of the trunk and branches through the process of wiring and d. Positioning the roots. One can choose a style from the five basic styles formal upright, informal upright, Wind swent syte Manilkar Zapota (Achras)-Chikku Age 11 Years, Height 43 cm slanting, semi-cascade and cascade. In addition, there are a few variations also like broom style, wind swept, multi-trunk and rock grown, etc. Caring : A bonsai needs more care than regular plants besides adequate sun-light, air and water. A bonsai must also be periodically repotted to supply fresh soil. It also keeps the root system in balance with the top growth. Repotting should be done every six months, normally during rainy season. But the trees from hilly area should be repotted in winter.

12 Sometimes a small change looks innovative in India. Nothing changes for the people of a small sleeping village Jahangirabad (population 500) in a backward Indian State of Orissa. As a JICA fellow as well as in my childhood, I had learnt from Japanese history of development how their students had developed their tractor industry, learnt and transferred various manufacturing technologies while still studying in the USA. To apply such a principle in India, I with the help of my wife Shreemayee took some mundane steps that could be perceived as novel initiatives of rural development. A patch land previously used as open public toilet was converted to a beautiful public park. The park was landscaped with local resources for use as community garden cum kids playground with facilities for picnic, entertainment and jogging trail. The land was cleared of shrubs and few ditches were converted to ponds and one earmarked as kids swimming pool. The villagers were given private toilets instead. The benefits of private toilets and sanitation were made clearer through health camp in the same park. The role of this small park for a better physical and emotional health of villagers was evident when children played, sang and danced in the recreational area. The psychological impact of the initiative spread so rapidly that there is more demand for private toilets and public parks from the nearby villages where more than 60% of population has no access to private toilets. Total cost of the park is estimated at US$2000, a meager sum compared to the social benefit that it will bring to the lives of 500 people. To banish darkness from their homes, solar lanterns were distributed Little Man s Quotes Only preach those lines, which you can do yourself. Live life Kingsize! Life is heaven and death is hell. Only Soul dies,the body just transforms. Believe in yourself! Even if you forget God, you could be an achiever. Do not earn more if you cannot spend. Only investment that gives you unmatched guaranteed returns is in your Health. Everybody is right that is why we have conflicting views. Simplification brings amplification in efficiency. Always think of improvement, there is scope for improvement everywhere. AP Singh C-008, Pragati Vihar Hostel, Lodhi Road, ND apc8@yahoo.com 12 Rural Sanitation to few poor families on an installment plan of Rs60/month for 5 years that just matches with their expenses on subsidised kerosene. Such a renewable energy based new lighting technology will not only improve the quality of lives of rural folks, it will save government subsidy of Rs 60/- month per family and dependence on foreign import of 3 liters of kerosene for all time to come. The concept and motivation to contribute came from the persuasions of our parents who saved us from expenses of an American sight seeing and day care expenses of our children while encouraging us to spend that money for their native village. It is hoped that more charitable contribution will come forward from the people having some connection with the village. The plan is to build a replicable village development model for other villages with the help of their natives who are now well placed. The dream seems achievable when we see the instant change in the reluctant and skeptical villagers who had hardly seen any contribution for such cause even by the government. They were suddenly invigorated and had taken the responsibility of maintaining the park. They now hope to collect enough money to build a bridge and a concrete road to beautify their village more as a model of rural development that can give them income and contain migration to cities. This is definitely a baby step of development but a giant step for human kinds to create a sustainable living in a peaceful environment. D.P. Kar Engg.

15 International Seminar on Power Sector 20th January 2004 at India Habitat Center New Delhi Universal Quotes Romaji : Nana korobi, ya oki Literally : Seven falls, eight getting up Meaning : Fall down seven times, get up eight times. An encouragement to persevere (ganbaru) Notes : From the verbs korobu and okiru respectively Romaji : Nakitsura ni hachi Literally : A bee to a crying face Meaning : Misfortunes seldom come alone; "When it rains, it pours" Notes : Nakitsura is a compound of two kun readings: naku to cry, and tsura face (men is an on reading). Romaji : Saru mo ki kara ochiru Literally : Even monkees fall from trees Meaning : Even an expert can make mistakes; also sometimes used as a warning that "pride comes before a fall" Notes : A well known proverb, this one, with several variations Romaji : Baka mo ichi-gei Literally : Even a fool has one talent Meaning : Even a fool may be good at something (I can't think of another way of putting this!) Notes : This is the `gei' of geisha Romaji : Ame futte ji katamaru Literally : Rained on ground hardens Meaning : Adversity builds character Romaji : Onna sannin yoreba kashimashii Literally : If three women visit, noisy Meaning : Wherever three women gather it is noisy Notes : this is a sort of pun, since the kanji for kashimashii (noisy/boisterous) is made up of three small kanji for woman. Interestingly, the meaning of this kanji in compounds usually implies craftiness or wickedness. Eg: kanjin = villain/scoundrel; kampu = adultress. yoreba is a conditional form of yoru = to visit/drop in Romaji : Toranu tanuki no kawa zan'you Literally : Count the skins of badgers which haven't been caught Meaning : "Don't count your chickens before they've hatched" Notes : -nu is a negative ending, and toranu modifies tanuki A tanuki is a Japanese animal somewhat like a badger or a racoon zan'you (usually san'you) means to calculate, or estimate. Romaji : Tonari no shibafu wa aoi Literally : The neighbour's lawn is green Meaning : "The grass is always greener on the other side" Notes : The wa marks the neighbour's lawn, thus implying comparison Aoi here means "is green", -i adjectives do not require a verb Romaji : Isseki ni chou Literally : One stone, two birds Meaning : "To kill two birds with one stone" Notes : This is an idiom rather than a kotowaza (proverb) Romaji : Neko ni koban Literally : A coin to a cat Meaning : "Pearls before swine"; ie: don't offer things to people who are incapable of appreciating them. Notes : A koban was an old gold coin Romaji : Gou ni itte wa, gou ni shitagae Literally : Entering the village, obey the village Meaning : "When in Rome, do as the Romans" Notes : The wa topicalizes the first clause, so this could be translated "Concerning entering a village,..." or more naturally "When entering a village..." Gou is a village or district or country Shitagae is the direct imperative of shitagau (to obey) Dr. Sumathi Muralidhar You may send articles for SAHYOG throughout the Year. However, articles received until December 2004 will only be considered for publication in NEXT ISSUE. Speak softly and carry a big stick ; you wil go far - Theodore Roosevelt. 15

16 Editor s Point It is my pleasure to present Sahyog 2004 to you all as its editor. It marks a change in my role - from offering my editing services voluntarily to now seeking all JAAI members services and contributions as its formal editor. My association with Sahyog, voluntary as well as official, has been full of pleasant experiences. It is one unique activity where everyone has opportunity to participate and contribute in his /her own way. Intentionally, the cover page has been designed depicting Ganpati and Ebisu (the Japanese God) symbolising good fortune and I hope it will bring good luck to all the readers in coming times. Beauty comes at a price.the price need not always be monetary. Sahyog demands a price in the form of time and effort from each of us. Being a JAAI member, it becomes our duty to pay this price so that reading Sahyog becomes a pleasure. I thank Mr. Arun Mahendru, Secretary JAAI for trusting and showing confidence in me. It was a task and not a burden when I accepted this responsibility informally in the beginning. The stage was blank with no article at hand. But the ball had to be set rolling.though with some apprehension I started approaching JAAI members personally for articles.to my wonder the response was encouraging. Thereafter, the things started moving smoothly. All along I got full cooperation from JAAI Executive members too. I must thank all those JAAI members who sent articles for Sahyog without whose contribution it would not have been possible for me to put diversity into the magazine. My special thanks are due to Shri Mitra Sen, ex-vice President JAAI, for his quotations of wisdom which you see in the footnotes. My thanks also goes to all those whose assistance helped me in timely publication of Sahyog. The response has been encouraging but still lot more is to be done. Besides the regular columnists, Sahyog requires greater participation from new faces to bring in new vibrant colours. I have tried to accommodate as many articles as possible in this issue but due to limitation of space some had to be reserved for the next issue. Last but not the least I must thank the members of the editorial board for their active cooperation and contribution. If you want the Best, you must put in your Best To put in your best, you need to identify yourself with the cause Therefore you got to own up the task And this is Sahyog s expectation from each JAAI member.
