Your Friendly Philosopher & Guide

Three weeks back I met someone called Pal Payasam (Milk Kheer in Tamizh). No, his real name is something else – but he calls himself Pal Payasam. When he lifts his phone call he wouldn’t say hello, he would say Pal Payasam. He has a reason to support it – he says always start with a sweet note.

We met in one of our common friends place. He is a temple priest of one of the most famous temples in South India, and he was introduced to me as an astrologer! When 2 astrologers meet – instead of exchanging gifts, they exchange their horoscopes. He did a reading for me, and I did a reading for him – both batted well. And we were friends already. I asked him, “apart from astrology what else does you know”? And he asked me to stand up.

I stood up. He placed his finger on my right hand shoulder region, and asked me to lift my hand. And I could not! He massaged a point behind my ear and pressed it, and asked, “do you feel a twitch in your neck region?” I said yes. Later keeping his finger there he pressed another spot in my neck, and asked me – now can you sense a jerk in your heart region? I said yes! He said, “one twist and you will die in 60 seconds due to cardiac arrest!” I was completely shocked and also a bit scared now. He knew Varma Kalai!! Yeah, the same art that which the old Kamal Hasan uses in the movie Indian/Hindustani! I was totally amazed!

In fact I have been waiting and wanting to learn this art very badly for few years now, but was under the impression that it has already died. Meeting Pal Payasam rejuvenated my hopes, and I felt a lot better. I was glad that the art is still alive, that I met Pal Payasam, and I am glad that Pal Payasam is kind of agreed to teach me the art!

Well let us see….all in the divine plan!

He also enlightened me about other interesting stuff, will blog about them later….I am doing my part of research on them.
