Higashi Ojima & Komatsugawa Park

-
Few days ago, I shifted back to Tokyo, the capital city of Japan. I was super excited when I heard the news that we we are moving to Tokyo and when we arrived, I was too joyous even to speak!!
I am living in Higashi Ojima,  which is a suburb in Tokyo. When I came to Higashi Ojima, I was blown away!! Every place is spotlessly clean and after breathing in a slight whiff of the air, I immediately found out that the air was super fresh and it had no pollution.

 A reason why Higashi Ojima is a marvel is that though Sera Komatsugawa(my apartment complex) is huge and has over fifteen buildings, there are neatly trimmed trees which are a treat to look at as well as small birds chirping and flying everywhere. This environment creates such a profound impact that even while Higashi Ojima is close to the heart of the bustling Tokyo and has a huge number of people living in it, I, as a resident, get the feeling that I live right in the midst of nature. A huge chunk of the credit goes to the Japanese as they work very hard to keep nature clean and perfect.

Adjacent to Sera Komatsugawa is the Arakawa river. The river is sublime and is very pristine and clear. The banks of the river are filled with Cherry Blossom trees. During the spring season, the trees burst with Cherry Blossoms and the resulting sight is unbelievable!! The Higashi Ojima Metro Station is only a three minute walk from my apartment. The Train Metro network is the most used and convenient mode of transport in Tokyo. The short distance from my apartment to the station is useful for me as I will be using the metro trains to commute from home to school and back everyday.

Behind Sera Komatsugawa is one of my favourite places in Tokyo, the Komatsugawa Park. This is a huge park with playing equipment, vast open grounds for picnics and barbecues and multiple sports facilities. I could not believe my eyes when I found out that there was a massive park right behind my apartment. The park is very beautiful with lush green grass and thick trees. I was amazed when I heard the fact that the park has a 1000 Cherry Blossom trees!! This led me to think that if two or three Cherry Blossom Trees look so beautiful, how will 1000 of them together be!! I am definately waiting to see the scenery😎 The playing equipment are super fun including climbing a rope to a super long and fast slide. There is also a mini version of Rope Gliding!! The park includes six tennis courts and two baseball practice fields as well as ample space to play football and rugby.            

In conclusion, Higashi Ojima is a place that blends nature and modern day activities together and is one of the best suburbs in Tokyo😃

Dear all, it is with immense ple a sure I am writing this as it is my 50th blog !! I have been able to cross the Golden Jubilee after exactly seven months and ten days and it has been an incredible journey. I was first introduced to blogging and the world of blogs on 4th May 2018, by my dear father . Making me write blogs was on his radar for a long time as he thought it would help me improve my English writing skills, my observation skills and most of all, helping me organize and structure tasks. When I  started blogging, I would make many errors and my father would diligently and lovingly correct them. But now, I am happy to say that though I make errors while writing, I manage to fix most of them by myself. If you have ever wondered at any point what happens behind the scenes to make my blog, then here you are: 1. Deciding on a topic: Unlike other bloggers, I write about varied topics and deciding a subject is very crucial. I mostly follow a structured order of to...

LSE BSc Finance - Personal Statement & How To Get In!

-
Hi! I was accepted into the BSc Finance course at the London School of Economics as part of the 2024-2027 batch. I had applied for Finance in LSE, Durham, and Manchester and Accounting&Finance at Warwick and King's College London. The UCAS application for each university requires predicted grades, teacher references, and most importantly, a 4000 character(including spaces) personal statement. Although the format of the personal statement will be changing from the 2026 entry onwards, my personal statement will still be useful in helping you craft your answers to these three questions(the format from 2026):  1) Why do you want to study this course or subject?  2) How have your qualifications and studies helped you to prepare for this course or subject?  3) What else have you done to prepare outside of education, and why are these experiences useful?  When preparing my personal statement, I was often disappointed by the fact that I had no personal statements of stud...

Why Marketing Is So Crucial For Firms

Why Do Firms Need Marketing? Marketing is for firms what breath is for humans. Generally speaking, the 3 main reasons why entrepreneurs say the reason their company faced heavy losses is because it was either undercapitalized, employed the wrong people or the market conditions were bad. However, I would like to add a fourth point here which is poor marketing. Not only does effective and good marketing help a company sell its product thereby generating revenue, it also helps build indirect customer and business relationships and helps the company gain widespread fame and an increased customer base.  Types of Marketing : 1. Print Advertisements 2. Word of Mouth 3. Radio and Television Advertisements 4. Social Media Advertisements 5. Cause Marketing - Marketing that involves messages about social causes and activist messages 6. Relationship Marketing - Marketing campaigns that stress customer satisfaction more than sales transactions. The Advent of Digital Media Marketing Prior to the...
