Slightly away from the topic of finance and business I am dedicating this blog entrt to my father - Ramesh Divekar.

Ramesh Divekar, has been awarded the "Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Rays" (Class V- Culture) in recognition of his outstanding contribution by His Imperial Excellency the Emperor of Japan .

The Order of the rising sun is the second most prestigious Japanese decoration after the Order of the Chrysanthemum.

The official announcement was done on 3rd November, 2008 in Japan, (The cultural day of Japan ) in Tokyo and he will actually receive the award at the Consulate General of Japan, Mumbai , India on December 4, 2008 at a special function arranged in his honor by the Consul General.

Mr. Ramesh Divekar started his career to the land of the rising sun since the dawn of the 1960s , 1963 to be precise. You can find more information in Wikipedia's link .
