But we’ve to find out some way to melt down our tensed nerves. And, in fact, we do find something refreshing, or rather are forced to embrace things to enter the world of reverie to spend some fleeting moments of peace.



This is what people in Tokyo are doing by immersing themselves into the so called, ‘Media Immersion Pods’ - the modern electronic entertainment jungle full of video games, computers and other gadgets. Solitary reapers chill out in the virtual world provided by the chain of Bagus Gran Cyber Cafes that remain open 24 hours a day full of luxurious facilities for their luxury-marred customers.
