Before we get to the answer, a quick no-brainer first: When do some 1500 students queue up throughout the night on the road, waiting for an office that will only be opening the next day morning?
No. You guessed it wrong. It@is neither for the visa processing at the US consulate nor for Indian idol auditions….The queue is for getting an application form for the part-time Japanese language class at Pune University!! Sounds strange!! Well, Read on this article featured five years ago. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/14204904.cms and the fact is that the queue is swelling further each year! Coming closer to next-door neighbor Hyderabad, few weeks ago, The Hindu discovered that it is Japanese language the smart Hyderbadi students have sought after! Check this: http://www.thehindu.com/edu/2007/09/10/stories/2007091050140100.htm If Pune has 3000 students studying Japanese at any given point of time keeping close to thirty Japanese language schools (in Pune city alone) busy, and if Hyderabadfs students are lining up for Japanese, isnft it high time for the Vizagites to take a cue, especially when there is an institute right in the city ! And not to mention the Japanes
