Will Andhra Pradesh split!

On March 2008 I had blogged the following –

“If ‘personal identity’ weren’t a problem we would have never fought with the British for freedom! I strongly feel that British governance was far better than the present Indian joke of democracy, but we still fought against them because we wanted our own people to rule on us. We thought people with similar ‘personal identities’ would be better than the firangs.”

“This phenomenon of ‘personal identity’ depends on various factors like tradition, civilization, history, colour, caste, creed, religion, borders et al. And all of us knowingly or unknowingly are driven by at least one of them, and could become restless if we find a threat to any of our belief system.”

“I know talking about this particular topic would be nonsensical in the 21st Century, when the world is moving towards universal brotherhood and towards becoming a global village. But then India already has 2 new states in the last 10 years, and Darjeeling is now asking for different statehood. And astrologically in the coming 50 years, I strongly feel that India will split into more states and countries based on ‘personal identity.’”

Here is the link -

As of today a separate Telengana is a political issue, but then with time it will be the people of Telengana who will be the deciding factor about a separate state – and they surely will win in the process. A separate Telengana is inevitable, and Andhra Pradesh will split in a matter of time.

And I am sure this splitting of states won’t stop and will continue in the coming years too. India will be split into more states and also more countries in the coming decades based on ‘personal identity’.

I personally feel that this splitting of states is better in the long run because in the process – management, governance and development become easier for the local people.

God Bless All

I go completely ‘virtual!’

I have had this thought in my mind for a couple of months now that I should stop meeting people face to face and go completely ‘virtual’. I surely can’t think about any justifying reason behind my decision. May be I am doing this because I always loved to exist as a mere ‘nobody’ in this world. And by God’s grace now I have an opportunity to exist ‘ONLY’ on the Internet. From now I will be doing astrological consultations only through the Internet i.e., through online chats, e-mails, voice chats, webcam chat and may be sometimes over the phone.

I have left Chennai, and moved to a beautiful place where I always wanted to settle. And in the coming months I am planning to travel as much as possible, and also concentrate on writing the book I have been contemplating about for a while.

It might sound like a highly egoistic statement but then it is very true that I happen to be a ‘blessed’ child – this is not because I love God, but then time and time and again I have witnessed that God has been too loving to me and always helped me at the right time with his divine intervention.

There is this general perception that if you want to realize God, you need to throw away all your luxuries. And whenever I have tried to throw away all the luxuries of my life to meet up with God, God has come running to save me and shower me with double the luxuries I already had.

Astrologically, I knew this particular Saturn transit (the period between September 2009 and November 2011) would lead to change in place of residence and also improvement on career front for me. Hence was just waiting patiently for the change to happen, and the planets did rest of the work for me. I have moved into a better and a bigger house – in fact a huge gated community in the heart of the city with all the latest amenities!

The change of residence has happened, now I will wait patiently for the career to improve – I am sure planets will take care of my career too…..

God Bless All

Top 10 cruel things women do to men - revealed

Washington, Nov 30 (ANI): Despite being known as the fairer sex, women can be downright nasty and often do cruel things to men. Now, Fox News has compiled a list of top 10 cruel things that women do to men and how they play with the guy's emotions or ego.

10. They don't pick up the phone

While men feel good as they manage to take the girls' phone number, the girls often give them a fake number or don't pick up the call.

9. Use men for free drinks

Some women go out never planning to spend any of their own money on drinks at the bar or club. Instead, they count on their feminine wiles to convince guys to shell out for their libations. While some of them might begin to get to know him, the cruel and heartless ones will take that drink, flirt a little and move on.

8. Use men as placeholders

If she is a decent person, she'll just get it over with and dump the boy, but if she's cruel, she'll hold on to him for a while until somebody new comes along. These girls don't like to be alone and without a relationship, so instead of putting you out of your misery and ending it, she'll string you along until she meets someone to replace you.

7. Emotionally manipulate men

Men don't like to see women cry and some cruel women take advantage of the fact and use it to get what they want. A few tears would make men do anything to get it to stop.

6. Use physical violence

While men hitting girls are often termed nasty, some cruel women feel it's perfectly acceptable to hit their boyfriends, as he would never hit her back. This type of woman feels like she can inflict any kind physical pain on him without fear of repercussion.

5. Criticize their men in public

Cruel women criticize and humiliate their men in public places. They often poke fun at her man or even soundly debase him.

4. They don't disclose their relationship status

It's certainly not the worst thing a woman could do to a man, but it is annoying when she's already in a relationship and lets you assume that she's available so that she can enjoy the man's flirtation and flattery.

3. They withhold sex

This is a time-tested, and frequently used, cruel thing for women to do to men. For most men, sex is as important as breathing, so withholding it in order to get something she wants or simply to punish her man for his transgressions is a pretty awful thing to do, even if it is effective.

2. They test their men

You're all ready to go for a night out with your friends, when your girlfriend calls and asks you to change your plans to be with her instead. She doesn't have any particular reason; she just wants to see you. She knows that you had plans to meet up with the guys, but if you really loved her, you'd come over to her place instead. If her request comes with an "if you really loved me," then it's a test. If you choose anything other than immediately rushing to her side, you're going to fail. This kind of testing in a relationship is indeed cruel and petty.

1. They flirt to inspire jealousy

Maybe she's feeling under-appreciated, maybe you've just had a big fight or maybe she just enjoys the tortured look on your face. For whatever reason, girls who flirt obviously with other guys in front of their boyfriends are immature and manipulative. (ANI)

Am I God?


The easiest thing to do in life is to deny the presence of God. Just ask – if God exists, show Him to me – none will have an answer. The next easy thing is to take a lot of effort to understand and realize the presence of God. And the toughest thing in life is to have blind faith and start believing in the presence of God - just like that.

I came across a beautiful concept called ‘Aquascaping’ a couple of months back, and I was unknowingly drawn to this wonderful hobby. For the last 4-5 months I have been just reading, reading and reading. I surely would have read 500 pages of content, would have referred some 100 and odd sites, read forums and exchanged mails with few 100s. All this to set a 2 feet tank which holds 150 litres of water as shown in the picture!

All the aquascapists, scientists, and the companies across the world that promote this hobby end up saying – whatever you do, you can ‘NEVER’ match nature. “Because In nature everything happens so effortlessly, automatically and also perfectly.”

So what are the parameters involved in setting up this ‘so-normal’ looking 2 feet tank?

*First– the substrate on which the planets might or might not grow. What kind of substrate is ideal? Will it suit your budget? Will it give out algae growth? How deep should be your substrate? And the nutrients your substrate should have and should not have?

*Second – water. The various parameters that will decide the contentment or disappointment of the aquascapist are – pH, KH, Nitrate content, Nitrite content, micronutrients, and macronutrients. All these have to be kept under complete balance along with temperature of the water for healthy growth of both fish and plants.

*Third – plants. Is it fast growing? Or slow growing? Low light plants? or High light plants? Lastly – will it suit your budget?

*Fourth– selection of fish include the low feeding, the middle feeding, and the top feeding. Also the fish that are selected should not fight with each other and also should not eat or uproot the plants.

*Fifth – filter. The good bacteria form colonies in the filter to convert nitrite into nitrate. Hence a good filter becomes a must. On top of it, the filter should be able to rotate the whole water through it in 4 hours time!

*Sixth - lighting – it is 1 watt per gallon of water. But the selection of bulb setting should be such that it doesn’t heat up the water or evaporate the water.

*Seventh - maintenance – an everyday check is an absolute must, which includes – checking fish’s health and watching plants’ growth. A weekly check on water parameter and condition of filter is equally important.

In spite of keeping all these on mind, and trying to do it as perfectly as possible – there are 100 per cent chances of things going completely wrong. All the plants might die and rot one fine day or may be the fish will start swimming upside down for reason unfathomable.

My tank is just 3 days old, and I am keeping my fingers crossed.

And the question that is top of my mind is ‘can we still deny the presence of God, who runs the nature so perfectly well?
