Apparently we had a Japanese TV crew in the office yesterday. I must have missed them!
Still, keep an eye out and tell me if you see the OUP on tv.
ニックネームは「覚醒（sarvodaya）」からとって「覚（か く）」です。
Kaku is the nickname given to me by ゆりさん, derived from the word sarvodaya (सर्वोदय). This, in turn, is a word that was used by Mohandas Gandhi in his 1908 translation of John Ruskin's
"Unto This Last" (1860s).
