Your Friendly Philosopher & Guide

There wasn’t any privacy whatsoever. Some 5-6 doctors were sitting in one room facing different directions, may be based on their individual understanding of Vaasthu Shastra. Your name would be called by the attendant – loudly, and sometimes murmured - and you should run into the room, shouting your own name. Why because – you otherwise would never know which doctor wants to try his hands on you. I spotted my doctor immediately. This was because he was the only person who looked into my eyes, his body language suggested he was looking for me, and also he was the only one who gave some heed when all the three of us – my wife, my MIL & myself – entered the room shouting my name.

The doctor asked me few questions, and prescribed me few tablets. I took the tablets for a couple of days, and I was out of pain completely. The tablet really worked. And it almost 8 years now, and I never got the pain again. In fact this incident taught me an important lesson of life. I surely didn’t learn that the Indian government & its system are good and that our doctors are the best under the sun. But the lesson I learnt was – “in life never think that quality ‘always’ comes at a higher price,” – it can come to you at cheaper rate too. And glamour necessarily doesn’t work all the time.

I have many clients who come to me, and go very dejected and disappointed. Not because I fail to find their life patterns right, or could not predict events for them. They become unhappy because I tell them the truth about their lives, and make them understand about their limitations. I neither give them false hopes, nor put any attempt to make them feel better. May be I am the only person into business who thinks – customer satisfaction as my last priority!

Few people come to me thinking - I will ask them to perform some expensive pujas, or ask them to wear some expensive gems and promise them of clearing all the problems they are facing now. If I could do that, I will perform all the available pujas on myself, and become the US president first!

I always thought people never wanted to get cheated. But then there are people who still think that until and unless they are made to spend good amount of money on pujas and remedial measures – there is no point in going in for astrology or consulting an astrologer. They always want some glamour in whatever they do.

After all the glamour and money is over they complain to all the remaining astrologers about what all they have done, and how things really didn’t work. And these people are the lot who go ahead one step ahead of putting down astrology and astrologers – calling them fake.

The rule of life is – you cannot stop good things coming into your life. Similarly you cannot stop bad things coming into your life. They are after all 2 sides of the same coin! Hence don’t fall for glamour - you might miss the bitter truth in the process!
