God’s grace to possess a vehicle!
I have been saving money to buy a car, and astrologically before August 2007 I should be getting a car. I invested in a bicycle recently, and have been saving most of my income to invest in a liability - car. I had sold my motorbike n 2004 to have some liquid cash on hand, and I had to hand over the money to my bother in law (BIL 1) – for his condition was worse than me on the financial front then.
Literally I was without a bike – hence no mobility. Suddenly my other brother in law (BIL2) got an opportunity to fly abroad. He went on a short-term project, and gave me his bike (Splendor) to handle for few months. Few months project extended to 2 years, and for 2 complete years I was using my BIL2’s bike.
BIL2 had come on a 1-month leave to India a year back. And I was immobile again. Just in a couple of days, one of my closest friends left to the US on a 3-months project. And he gave me his Pulsar to handle! When my friend came back after 3 months my BIL2 had to leave to Belgium once again, and Splendor came back to me once again. (To be honest I never asked for their bikes, they gave it to me on their own).
My friend is in India now and my BIL2’s project is over in Belgium. So I was left out with no motorbikes from April 2007. On top of that I had taken a vow that I won’t use autos in Chennai until they use meters. I used call taxis for commutation for few days, and for rest of the purposes – I went by bicycles.
My eldest sister who lives in Tiruppur had a car, but they have been using it very rarely. Just a week back, the house owner created a hungama asking all the inmates to park their car outside the building. They thought they might as well give the car to me so that I can use it, and also park it safely in my apartment. (And I never asked them to give me their car).
Astrologically your luck in matters related to house and vehicles is related to your 4th lord in your horoscope. And by God’s grace I have a strongly placed 4th lord – hence things related to vehicles & house will come to me automatically– even I refuse to take them. This is how destiny works.
(And on top of it – one of my clients living in the US spoke about gifting me a Car, if what I had predicted for him comes true. Well an offer too good to resist I guess :D)
And can you guess the colour of the car? It is black again!!! (Tata Indica)

Important tip to pass ANY exam with ease!
It was Hindi exam on that particular day, and I prepared myself well for the same. I reached the exam hall only to get the shock of my life - that it wasn’t Hindi exam, but maths!! I had done some error in seeing the Time Table. I am completely clueless about what to do. I am sure I will fail this time, will have a bad time with my father and never would get my degree in my life!
I am completely drenched in sweat only to find myself getting up from my sleep a decade later. In real life I have never faced such instances, but even today I get those dreams where in I reach the exam hall unprepared or without a hall ticket. And it is an orgasmic feeling to go back to sleep confirming that you already have got MA Mass Comm degree without a single arrear.
Someone called me the other day asking me whether he will pass out an arrear he has now. I said he will, and I also gave him a simple advise – try taking chits, but don’t get caught! You see – I preach, only what I practice or practiced.
My father gifted me a fountain pen for my 10th board exams. And he bundled 2 important advise with it. He said – never get caught when you copy and secondly if you are unsure about spellings just scribble. I followed his advice religiously till I passed out my Masters Degree.
I was too naïve to copy in my 10th and 12th board exams but then became a master in it while doing my degree. It was literally impossible for me to mug up those derivation and integration formulas Maths had and chemical reactions Organic Chemistry had, and I was expected to pass out without a single arrear to be allowed to stay in the hostel. Well taking chits proved to be a good idea.
Chits kept my confidence level high, and I could easily refer to them when in need. Not that I depended completely on them, but I would have short cuts written in papers just few inches in size, which can be kept hidden in the palm! Or I would get into the exam hall and note down all that was on my mind in the answer paper they give, and later refer to them - legally it was considered wrong! Thank God I never got caught by any of the supervisors then. Masters’ degree was much easier, and there was no need to take any chits. As my professor once said – it would be really tough to fail in those exams!
I dunno what phobia is that – but fear of exams scare me more than death - even today.

I appraise myself!
On the scale of A to E, where A is excellent and E is bad I gave myself B, and my boss gave me C. In the next appraisal I gave myself D and my boss gave me B. But ironically when I was given C my salary hike was better than when I was given B!!! I never understood the logic, and neither did my boss.
It took me at least a couple of years to understand what those fucking KRAs and KPIs actually mean. The one pattern I came to know after undergoing some 8-10 phony appraisal stunt was that – if you want to make more money, quit your present company and bargain a better deal in another company. These appraisal episodes run by Corporate every 6 months will always give you shit loads of hope and make you feel dejected and disappointed end of the day!
Thankfully I don’t have a human boss these days. I report directly to God – Lord Narayana that is. And I judge my astrological performance based on the number of predictions that come true, the number of friends/clients who are happy with my astrological skills, and the less number of times the divine slaps me hard to know my human limitations. Hence I thought it is the right time for me to appraise myself, and give myself some extra money.
My consultations charges that are put up on my site and other sites like astrolife, rediff, Yahoo India, MSN India, astroyogi, indiainfo and oneindia were framed in the year 2004, and before that from 2002 to 2004 – I was doing astrology for free – rather none paid me. So after three years of professional astrology I thought I would give myself a 30 per cent hike – 10 per cent per year! Sounds cool to me.
I am happy and am sure my immediate boss is happy too!
(The new service charges comes to practice from 27th May, 2007)

The difference between Main Business & Core Business – part 2!
Before I get into the main business/core business funda about astrology, let me give you another example to take my point home. Here is an example how VGP Golden Beach (amusement park in Chennai) makes most of its revenue today. Most people in Tamil Nadu know that VG Paneerdas was a man from rags to riches - he was a self made man indeed. And he was the one main person to have made installment schemes a big success in India. But then the main business he was associated with was smuggling of Gold in the 60s and the 70s!
Example 2
VGP Golden beach is one of the star attractions of Chennai, where people from all across the country come to celebrate their vacations and holidays. The entrance fee is just Rs 125, which is very less when compared to other amusement parks in Chennai.
The rush is impressive in the months of March, April & May, and rest of the months the crowd is just ok. But where does the main money come to maintain such a big place in off-season time. Here is what happens –
The stalls – like ice cream shop, juice stall, games - inside the park are maintained not by VGP but by outsiders. If you want to open a stall you need to pay a non-refundable amount, which goes at least to 30 k to 50 k depending upon the place you choose. Later a monthly rent of 10 k to 20 k is collected from them during off seasons. And this monthly rent is increased during the season time.
Looking at the crowd which comes in most businessmen think that they can make a killing during the time of season, but then as the monthly rent is increased proportionately - he sees no chance of making money and leaves the premises in a year or so. The same place is again given to another businessman who comes in with lots of hopes and pays a non-refundable amount.
The business through selling ticket is just a bonus!
It is simple – the money made by selling newspapers and magazines are just bonuses, the main revenue comes from advertisements. This way every business has a main business / core business funda and astrology has it too.
Most astrologers keep their consultation fees very minimal, because that is not the core business that brings in revenue. The core business for most astrologers is giving remedial measures. They would charge Rs 100 for a consultation but then charge Rs 2000 for selling you a Gem, or few 1000s to make you perform a special puja! The case is similar with doctors. The core business for a doctor is not consultation – but then selling medicines, performing operations, and the commissions they make through scans, blood tests and x rays!
So what would happen to an astrologer who doesn’t believe in remedial measures, who doesn’t sell gem or who doesn’t suggest costly pujas? He will keep his consultation fees a bit on the higher side, and go in for a second hand car first.

The difference between Main Business & Core Business – part 1!
I am looking out for a second hand car. The search started off with Premier Padmini and now it waits at Maruti Zen. I would love to possess a Maruti Gypsy too as it is my childhood passion to own one. I was discussing the same with one of my clients/friends and he was a bit taken aback. His questions were simple – why a second hand car, why not a new one? And why do I have to wait for 3-4 months to save money to buy a second hand car, when many astrologers make at least 1-2 lakhs per month?!
There are many pros and cons of being on your own and being employed. Let me talk only about the negative part of being on your own. First thing is – no banks will give you loans –neither for vehicles, nor for home. They would want you to file IT returns or to at least have insurance policies. My only policy in life is to not have any insurance policies, and I don’t file IT returns either. Hence the option of getting a loan from the bank for a new car closes completely.
My friend asked then what about earning 2 lakhs a month with ease, and I had to tell him about the difference between Main Business and Core Business philosophy.
Example 1 – Jewelry Shop
Go to any jewelry shop. Beautiful ornaments are showcased in 1000s, which prompt you to buy something for your loved ones. And we think selling those beautiful ornaments to the customers is the only way jewelry shop makes a living. No, there is a core business associated with these shops, which most people fail to see.
Whenever a new ornament is bought, the customer is charged for the wastage. Secondly cheap stones that come with the jewelry are weighed and sold as gold. And thirdly, after the purchase is done they will ask if you want a bill. If you ask for a bill, some 4 per cent is charged as sales tax. So obviously to save that 4 per cent extra, you take the jewels without a proper bill – and these jewelry are adjusted in smuggled gold, for which the shopkeeper need not show account to the government.
And when you want to sell gold – once again the customer is charged for the wastage, the jewelry is weighed after the stones are removed. The whole funda is to buy gold from the customer at the cheapest rate possible!
Hence the main money for any jewelry shop doesn’t come from selling new ornaments, but by selling smuggled gold. And they make a killing when they buy used gold.
To be continued….

Just buy cycles!
Partly or rather fully influenced by Kiruba (http://www.kiruba.com) I invested in a bicycle yesterday. The other reason to have bought one was to stop using Auto Rickshaws for small distance travel. And for long distance travel any day taxis are more luxurious and economical - at least in Chennai. Riding a bicycle after more than a decade was indeed an experience in itself, and it actually rushed loads of teenage memories into my 33-year-old mind.
My father was a lot worried to buy me my first bicycle when I was 17. He knew astrology, and by seeing Saturn in my 4th house in my horoscope he thought vehicles were always dangerous to me. I was a lot influenced by Western Astrology at that time, and had learnt that the lucky colour for Aries is red. Hence I invested in a Red Colour Hero Ranger. To my dismay in the very first 6 months my first cycle was stolen, and that was the first time I ever entered into a police station to file a FIR.
I got another cycle in a couple of months and it was black. My father was totally against black colour and he always thought black brings bad luck. But then very late in my life – I found an astrological secret, according to which if someone has a strong Saturn then black proves lucky to them.
Most successful lawyers have a very strong Saturn, or their 4th lord happens to be Saturn. Fourth lord in astrology is something that covers you – it could be dress, helmet, bag, vehicle, land & house. (My neighbour invested in a white colour Santro and had many problems with it, later he got a black colour Maruti Alto – when I read his horoscope he had Saturn in his 4th house).
No points for guessing my new cycle’s colour – it is black again!
The brochure given out by the BSA cycle showroom mentioned 6 good things about cycling –
Fitness – Cycling encourages healthy behaviour, and increases stamina
Heart – It lowers risk of heart attacks
Weight – It helps in shedding excess weight and flabby flesh
Stress – It helps in reducing stress
Money – no fuel cost, hence you save money
Environment – you help to cut air and noise pollution and traffic congestion
It is a different story altogether that you won’t be respected on the roads if you are seen on a bicycle. Also none will give you any heed when it comes to traffic rules. And as on date cycle in India is considered to be a poor man’s vehicle, so get ready to lose your identity before you invest in one and start cycling.
Of course there is good news in the offing. Big cycle companies are in talks with the government to encourage cycling in metros by providing special tracks for cycles on main roads. If that happens – more and more people will get back to cycling, as it happens in most developed nations. And we can leave behind a cleaner environment at least for our kids.

Sibling rivalry & future of DMK!
When M Karunanidhi grabbed the Chief Minister’s post by promising free colour TVs to the poor, just out of curiosity I asked few veteran astrologers – what would be the future of DMK? And all of them had a similar stance, and whatever they said was very much close to what has already happened.
They all said – “it will be M Karunanidhi’s last tenure as the CM, and before his tenure gets over there will be major misunderstandings between the siblings. Later DMK would struggle to get a leader to take the party forward.” “A re-election is possible, and change in reign is possible too before 5-year tenure period.” (Of course there is no evidence at my end to prove this – it was just a one to one talk with the astrologers, and I don’t want to name them and put them in trouble from Stalin’s people or Azhagiri’s people).
And what did happen. Dinakaran (newspaper) poll did the mishap. The poll stated Stalin could be the successor. Azhagiri’s people got pissed off and burnt the newspaper office killing 3 innocent people in the process. Dayanadi Maran, the ex Central Minister for Telecom, refused to attend the 50th year celebration of Karunanidhi in assembly if immediate action was not taken against Azhagiri.
Sun TV, owned by Kalanidhi Maran, were not allowed to cover the gala function, which was attended by Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi and even my favourite leader Lalu Prasad Yadav. Dayanidhi Maran was lifted from his seat and Raja was made the new central minister for Telecom! And we call it democracy – where personal favours play a major role in Indian politics!
Though this problem looks very miniscule today, and an immediate temporary solution was taken by making Dayanidhi Maran the scapegoat. This particular event surely will be one of the main occurrences to shape the future of DMK and Tamil Nadu politics in the days to come.
And what my friend astrologers had stated has already started to ring bell in my mind!

I am loving it!
All the guys had planned to bunk the botany lab that day. I had made up my mind too. But then the professor’s warning was too much for the guys to stick to their vows. They walked into the lab one by one shamelessly. And I was only one to walk back to the hostel, and get some sleep. That was one killer incident that taught me the best lesson I would have ever learnt in my life. If you have a problem – stand alone, if people are with you it is just a bonus. Let not the support, how much ever large or small, have any influence on your conviction towards the fight you have taken up.
One such fight I had taken up recently was against the auto guys of Chennai, and. I indeed want to put an end to this particular menace. Solving whole of Chennai’s auto problem alone is literally impossible for me. Hence I thought let me start off with the auto stand close to my place.
With the help of 100 & odd signatures, I was able to submit a complaint against them with RTO. The RTO fined the miscreants, and the problem was not solved as yet. Now they knew who was the problem creator - E 6 Alacrity Flats.
My wife went to hire an auto with the same stand a couple of weeks back, and some 7-8 auto guys pounced on her and they pulled a verbal fight with her. And all of them refused to take her to the destination she had asked them to. They instead told her – if you complain about us we will never allow you to board in our autos. She had to walk some 1½ kms to with the 2-year baby to get another auto from the main road.
It is completely their prerogative to decide whom they should take and whom they should not in their autos. But what was wrong from their side was to pull a verbal fight with a single lady. My wife was very upset, and I stuck to law.
We went to the Velacherry police station to file a complaint now. To my surprise, the police were really fast in taking actions. They sent a cop to the auto stand immediately, and asked everyone to come to the police station in the evening. We were also called.
The sub-inspector warned the auto guys, and said, “if I get another complaint from Alacrity Flats, I will cancel all your licenses and clean that auto stand completely.”
My aim is not to make them jobless, but to be nominal in charging the commuters. The problem was not solved yet….
A week later, when my wife was walking towards the main road – one of the auto guys of the same stand drove his vehicle as if he was just about hit her. My wife spoke to stand leader and warned him the second time, and the problem was not solved yet….
Just today my sister was leaving to Ooty from my house, and she sent my father in law to fetch an auto. She specifically told him not to take any auto from the stand, and he did exactly the opposite. He got an auto from the same stand, and the auto guys never knew who my father in law was. He boarded the auto and asked him to wait near the building. The auto guy asked which flat – and my father in law innocently said E6, and the auto guy flew away!
The fight is getting heated up…will keep you updated….

Racism in India!
Nixon & Kennedi studied in the same school. Though their names sounded very American, they were the only guys who were the darkest among the whole lot in the class. One among them is me, and another is my classmate who failed 5 times in his 10th standard. I studied in Mumbai, and there were many instances where I was referred as dark. And the nickname of Nixon was Kallu – derived from Kaliya, which means Blacky!
One way I am happy that Shilpa Shetty, who didn’t have any other option but to shake her panty less butt on the silver screen to make a living, was shot to international fame just because some European commented on her skin colour. But then it happens in India day in and day out for all the people – who are darker than the other.
“How do you find women in Chennai?” I asked one of my North Indian friends, a fair guy, and he replied, “fat, dark and ugly.” I understand from him that he doesn’t prefer fat women. Ugly – yes who don’t look good. But then why DARK!! Why is dark still used as a derogatory comment?
The ad campaign says - a girl might not get a good groom or a good job until she uses Fair & Lovely cream to become fairer. And a man might not attract many women until and unless he uses Emami’s Fair & Handsome cream. And this happens in India – where from international standards all are considered black. Why is this rat race towards becoming fairer still on?
If we really love our colour, and accept ourselves as we are – then why is fairness cream a multimillion business in India?
I have seen few top stars out of fad saying they don’t like fair complexion, they prefer darker people – then why there is not a single cream that promises to make you darker? The truth is – we still have this craving to become fairer and we still look at Europeans and Americans with awe!
I know many a people who have been subject to racist attacks in foreign nations. In Belgium they say – those white skinned people won’t sit next to you if they understand you are an Asian. Ask yourself – how many times have you stared at a Niger in India the same way you have stared at an American? We need to accept that the colour Black is considered bad, and still used as a derogatory term - all over the world!
At the corner of my heart I feel a lot happier when an Indian, who is considered fair in India, is called Black in foreign countries. At least by this he will understand, how the real blacks of India feel at the hands of fair Indians!

The economics of watching a movie in a multiplex!
I ‘try’ to go by law. Hence when they asked the movie lovers to stop watching new movies on pirated VCDs and DVDs - I stopped religiously. And it is a decade I watched a new Tamil or a Hindi movie on pirated CDs. I don’t watch them in spite of me having enough sources to provide me crystal clear prints of the latest movie the very same day of the release. But recently I had this transformation of thought - whether I have been deliberately allowing myself to be fooled by these multiplexes!
Of course I love the latest cinema halls, I love the a/c, I love the digital sound effects, and there are few movies, which compulsorily have to be watched on BIG screens. I am even ready to pay double the amount of ticket’s cost for any movie just for the experience I get. But then what drives me mad is the exorbitant price of the snacks that are sold inside the building.
Good they don’t allow outside food may be they think people might dirty the hall. Or probably they want people to buy snacks available in their counters – point taken. But then why is Rs 10 MRP wala Lays cost Rs 15, why Rs 5 wala puff cost Rs 30, and why Rs 15 worth popcorn cost Rs 50?
Any public place should compulsorily provide a clean bathroom and pure drinking water free of cost (at least in India). Recently at Satyam Multiplex – I found an old man searching for the bathroom and the security coolly said – the bathroom is on the 2nd floor, and the movie was shown in the ground floor! And at Mayajaal I found no source of free water this time, and they charge Rs 30 for 1 liter of water, which otherwise is just Rs 10.
The law says that no product should be sold above MRP price anywhere in India, and the lawyer I had met said – you can very well sue them provided you have the bill for the purchase. But who has the time?
This is just one part of the headache. The second part is the mobile phone nuisance created by the well-educated literate crowd. They have the least idea about how disturbing their mobile phones could be on their neighbour’s eyes. They either scratch their crotch or keep fiddling with their mobile phones sending and forwarding SMSs! It is not the age where only the elite have the luxury of possessing a mobile phone. Today every asshole has the later one – just imagine if all the 300 and odd people seated in the theatre either talking over the phone or sending SMSs. There will be total chaos. Then who will watch the movie in peace?
Well today my logic says – to avoid getting fooled deliberately for the snacks and to avoid nuisance created by the literates - I can very well break the law!

The power of Tirupathi!
I predicted a job change for one of my clients in the month of November 2006, and he was jobless till January 2007. And another client for whom I had predicted a job change in the month of February 2007 was jobless till April 2007. I could see a similar pattern in both their charts – though the planets were placed strongly for an interesting job change - the event was getting postponed for God knows what reason.
Thankfully both of them had enough patience and continued to trust in astrology and also me. I knew astrologically that it was just a matter of months, but for the clients it is a time when they lose all their hopes and trust. And after a point it becomes impossible to bring their trust back.
I had visited Tirupathi for my second daughter’s tonsure recently. Of course we had to wait in the queue for some 10 hours, but then the darshan is worth all the upheavals you face. After coming back from Tirupathi I could see an interesting lift in my career, and also my monetary positions improved a lot.
Just after a week’s time both these clients met me in a gap of 4-5 days. There was an inner voice prompting me to tell them to visit Tirupathi at the earliest. It was not about changing destiny, but then the destined event was getting postponed for some divine reasons.
I asked both of them to visit Tirupathi at the earliest, and both of them did exactly what I said. I asked them to give me a call after they come back, and they called me up after the visit too. I was impressed by the trust they had on my words.
Within a week’s time after the visit to Tirupathi the first client got an awesome job offer with an impressive pay pack. On top of it he got back some money he had lent out. And the second client also got an offer, and he is joining the new firm on May 7th, 2007.
Well this is not a chain mail where in you are asked to send the same to 11 friends, and expect miracles in 3 days. But these are real incidents, which zapped me the most than anyone else!
Om Namo Narayanaya - God Bless All With Prosperity!

Is astrology far ahead of medical science!
They met me a year ago. They were completely content & satisfied about how life was treating them. They had a son, a new car, and a handsome paying job for the husband. Yeah - as any body else – they had many debts, and they needed some more finances to lead a luxurious life. They consulted me the very next day after they had a major fight, and they wanted to go in for a divorce!
In their horoscopes – I could not see any astrological combinations for a divorce. And I told them – divorce is completely ruled out for you guys. You better think about new techniques to patch up and live rest of your lives together. I could see a sigh of relief on their face – even they didn’t wanted to get divorced.
They asked me - so what else do you see in our charts. I said a major lift in career for the hubby in the year 2007 – it either will be in a MNC or a foreign nation, and there will be substantial increase in the income too. The wife was happy to head this positive news, but then the hubby was least interested in a job change for at least 2 years. And what about her, he asked. And I said, she would have a baby in the year 2007 astrologically. And when I had told this I never knew that she was wearing a Copper-T (a birth control device).
Major hierarchy changes happened at the office for the guy, and eventually he was made to report to a dumb boss. This prompted the hubby to look for a new job, and he got it just last month – and by God’s grace in a MNC! (This is how God sends you blessing in disguise. Had I not got a dumb boss at Sify.com – I would have never become a professional astrologer).
The wife wanted to remove the Copper-T in March 2007, and start trying for a baby. According to her if they start trying, it could at least take 2-3 months for her to get pregnant, and by the initial months of year 2008 she will have a baby for sure.
For her surprise in the very first week after removing the Copper-T she found herself pregnant. And according to me – astrologically she would have got pregnant in the month of February 2007 – which was a month ‘before’ Copper T was removed!
She rushed to the doctor to consult, and the doctor asked her to go in for an immediate scan - and the baby was already 4 weeks old – meaning she got conceived in the month of February 2007, which was one month before the birth control device was removed!
So astrologically she should be delivering the baby around November 2007, which is in sync with what planets have to offer her!
Looking at some medical chart the gynecologist has told her that it will be a baby boy. And looking at the ‘planets’ I have told her that it will be a baby girl.
Will keep you updated about the gender of the child!

White rats – my new pets!
Behind every successful man, there is a woman. That is one crappy statement people have been using for centuries now. I am yet to see a beggar getting married to a woman, and then becoming a multimillionaire just because he got married to the woman. The statement can be altered a bit. Instead of ‘behind’ we can put ‘after’. And the right statement could be ‘After every successful man, there is a woman or there are many women’.
There is another notion where in people try to find someone who matches their interest to get married. But the truth is otherwise. You will always get married to someone with whom you don’t match, and with whom your interests vary completely. That is the irony of life or we can call it the funny side of life.
I watched the Will Smith starring movie ‘Pursuit of Happyness’ recently. One thing good about foreign movies are they always try to show the truth. Had it been an Indian movie, I am sure – his wife leaving Christopher Gardner just because he doesn’t have a good paying job part would have been edited. Instead they would have shown a very naïve and supporting wife giving him all her ornaments to try something else. End of the day the truth about life is – if as a husband you continue to earn less money, your marital life will get screwed big time.
What has this blog to do with White Mice?
Very few people know that White Mice make excellent pets, and that they are available very easily in any pet shop. People have major mind blocks towards rats thinking they might lead to rat fever or they might lead to plague. In fact white rats are very clean animals, and need very less attention.
I love animals, and if given a chance I would not mind even domesticating a Tiger. I want my children to be sensitive towards animals, and I have heard many people saying children become more responsible amidst pets. In fact I would suggest that every family should have at least 2 or 3 children, 1 tree and 1 pet compulsorily.
I decided to buy white mice from Moore Market, Chennai and as usual my wife said a clear ‘no.’ She rebelled and stopped talking to me for a day, and told me she won’t look after the mice at all. She knows perfectly that I travel a lot, and looking after the mice will be a bit difficult for me when I travel. Not that she hates animals, just that she hates to take responsibilities.
I usually don’t listen to others. And if someone says a ‘no’, I deliberately go ahead and do it just for the heck of it. That is exactly what I did. I wanted to buy one mouse, and as my wife rebelled I bought 2 mice.
My children are having great fun with them these days, and the joy I see on their faces is priceless! I pat on my back everyday saying – good I didn’t listen to my wife.
