Your Friendly Philosopher & Guide

So far my life has traversed exactly in the sequence as it is shown in my horoscope. If astrology doesn’t work for astrologers themselves, then what is the point in astrologers believing in astrology! It of course is a debatable topic - what is the thrill or fun in knowing your future beforehand? In fact it helps. To be honest it helps us in effortless living. (Will blog about effortless living in some other blog).

I was running Shani Dasha till September 2002. Shani in general teaches us the best lessons of our life, and Shani is known for creating problems, delays & postponement in anything we take up.

I was working for the Indian Express Online Media, Mumbai, and I always preferred to be on the night shifts. Less crowd, less noise, more work, more play and more porn (on the internet) were the few reasons I loved to do the nights. One particular day, my wife asked me to take an off in the middle of the week. I agreed, though I always hated to take holidays those days.

In my life I have never seen reporters doing business stories in the nights. That particular night, they wanted to do a news story about 24/7 news update on the internet, and interviewed my colleague for the story. The next day I saw a report of my colleagues with a full size picture of him in the Indian Express newspaper. In fact I had exchanged the shift with this guy - only on that particular day! I reconciled myself saying, “may be one day the media will give special coverage for me alone - with a bigger photo!”

It was during the 2002 Cricket World Cup. NDTV had come to Sify to ask few people about their views on various teams that were participating in the series. They interviewed 5 people from our office, and I was one of them. The program was to be telecast the very next day at 2 pm. I had told my wife to check NDTV in the afternoon. At office all clogged in front of the TV at 2, and except me – all the 4 guys were shown on the TV. I reconciled myself saying, “may be one day the media will give special coverage for me alone – with a longer clip!”

I started my Mercury Dasha after September 2002 that is when exactly I got inclined to astrology, spirituality and many more things in my life. Astrologically Mercury for me is an excellent period that will give me an excellent lift in career, fame, money & prosperity.

In November 2002, just 2 months after my new period started, I got a call from Vijay Star TV. They wanted to interview me about what exactly I thought about Tarot Cards. It was part of a program where my teacher was the main guest. The clip was telecast the next day, and it indeed was a bigger clip than the World Cup stuff.

And what happened last week? Business World gave me special coverage about my blog, with a bigger photo :P.

All that happened in my life has happened on its own - effortlessly. I have just been standing there watching the fun about how my life has taken interesting turns.

So what more is coming from my side? I will be hosting an astro programme on Television soon, and will be part of the movie making industry in one or the other way. This won’t happen with my effort – it will happen on its own accord with the help of the planetary placements, and God’s blessings.
