<title>Will Andhra Pradesh split!</title>

<![CDATA[<p><strong>On March 2008 I had blogged the following – </strong></p>

<p>“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.” <br />
</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>“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.” </p>

<p>“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.’” </p>

<p>Here is the link - </p>

<p><a href="http://www.askenni.com/archives/2008/03/i_am_with_raj_t.html">http://www.askenni.com/archives/2008/03/i_am_with_raj_t.html</a></p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>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’. </p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>God Bless All</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>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.</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>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.</p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>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. </p>

<p>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!</p>

<p>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…..</p>

<p>God Bless All</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>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.<br />
</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p><strong>10. They don't pick up the phone</strong></p>

<p>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.</p>

<p><strong>9. Use men for free drinks</strong></p>

<p>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.</p>

<p><strong>8. Use men as placeholders</strong></p>

<p>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.</p>

<p><strong>7. Emotionally manipulate men</strong></p>

<p>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.</p>

<p><strong>6. Use physical violence</strong></p>

<p>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.<br />
<strong><br />
5. Criticize their men in public</strong></p>

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

<p><strong>4. They don't disclose their relationship status</strong></p>

<p>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.</p>

<p><strong>3. They withhold sex</strong></p>

<p>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.<br />
<strong><br />
2. They test their men</strong></p>

<p>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.</p>

<p><strong>1. They flirt to inspire jealousy</strong></p>

<p>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)</p>

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. <br />

<![CDATA[<p>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!</p>

<p>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.”</p>

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

<p>*First– the <strong>substrate </strong> 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? </p>

<p>*Second – <strong>water</strong>. 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. </p>

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

<p>*Fourth– <strong>selection of fish </strong>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. </p>

<p>*Fifth – <strong>filter</strong>. 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!</p>

<p>*Sixth - <strong>lighting </strong>– 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.</p>

<p>*Seventh - <strong>maintenance </strong>– 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.</p>

<p>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. </p>

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

<p>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?</p>]]>

<dc:subject>Corporate Gyaan</dc:subject>
<content type="text/html" mode="escaped" xml:lang="en" xml:base="http://www.askenni.com/">
<![CDATA[<p>Eight years of corporate life was quit 5 years back! And back then - everyone I loved and everyone I hated had a similar question running on top of their minds. “How will Kennedi survive with one wife, 2 kids, and without a high paying job on hand?” Well the truth is I am still alive and rocking and so is my family. Not being part of the corporate world doesn’t mean that gyaan cannot flow through me… here it is….<br />
</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>I know ‘someone’, who to my knowledge has been responsible for making at least 10 people leave a particular corporate company – only because he didn’t like them personally. Ironically this ‘someone’ is my client, and also the other 10 people whom he ‘indirectly’ helped to get a better offer are my clients too. The funny part is, this someone doesn’t know that I know what he has done to others. It is better if it remains that way. </p>

<p>I admired this ‘someone’ for various reasons and also loved his tactics in screwing people’s happiness. Here is the list of rules he always stuck to…and thus succeeded in his operations.</p>

<p><strong>Eye the enemy and befriend them </strong></p>

<p>He would shamelessly approach you, and make all the possible attempts to befriend you. He would crack jokes, will have lunch with you, will share his knowledge with you, smile at you as if everything is straight, and will laugh at your sick jokes too. Reasons enough for you to list him in your good book.</p>

<p><strong>Never Confront</strong></p>

<p>He won’t give you a straight or open comment about your work. Nor would he make you feel bad about the mistakes you did at workplace. On relationship front – he will maintain status quo – a nice colleague or a nice friend to be precise. He will never talk on your face. But in the meantime he would have already started digging a grave for you with the decision making people. </p>

<p><strong>Silence is golden</strong></p>

<p>When the whole office is talking about the boss being unhappy about your work and that you might lose your job anytime - he will maintain complete silence. He won’t touch the topic at all. His job of lighting the fire at the right place at the right time was already done, now he just has to keep it burning by pouring oil once in a while – which he will do religiously.</p>

<p><strong>Ask for a favour when everything is done</strong></p>

<p>The bosses are unhappy, and you are asked to leave or thrown out before or after getting a new job. You are completely pissed off, and still wondering who back stabbed you royally, and that is the exact time you will get a call from ‘someone.’ “What are you upto? I just needed a favour, can you help me out?” </p>

<p>This is ‘someone’s last tactic to maintain his name in your good book forever!</p>]]>

<p>'No compliments, bouquets or encouraging words from any quarters. Even the media took no notice of my achievements,' Anita told IANS in an interview. 'Cricketers would have been honoured and recognised by everyone but athletes like us are cold shouldered.'</p>

<p>Anita's kitty of medals weighs several kilograms, having won them at state, national and international meets at regular intervals. But the cold indifference and lack of encouragement from people in general and her own department in particular has begun to hurt.</p>

<p>'When I returned after 15 days of hard gruelling competitions at the international level in Malaysia and applied for three days' leave, my boss said you have already had such a long outing and rest. Get back to work.</p>

<p>'With this kind of attitude how can sports flourish here?' Anita wonders.</p>

<p>At the Malaysian International Open Masters Athletics Championship held at Ipoh Nov 7 and 8, she was given the best woman athlete award.</p>

<p>She touched 5 m 40 cm in long jump, winning a gold. She clinched a gold in javelin throw and a bronze in the Medley relay race. She was the lone representative from Uttar Pradesh.</p>

<p>'At 35 plus, I had to compete with a 23-year-old girl,' she said.</p>

<p>As a constable attached to the Sadar police station in Agra, she finds it hard to combine her duties with sports.</p>

<p>'But I manage because my husband, Shanti Swarup, who is also in the police, takes care of my 11-year-old daughter and six-year-old son. He has never let me feel burdened with domestic chores and has been a great source of encouragement.</p>

<p>'I come from a very conservative background in Etawah and when I go to my in-laws, I still have to hide my face behind a veil despite my long international exposure.</p>

<p>'Even with 80 odd medals I have no future in sports. They give me nothing extra, no facilities, no allowances. My own salary is spent on my diet. I eat 85 almonds daily, two litres of milk and a very rich vegetarian diet of dal roti, plus lots of desi ghee and at least five glasses of fruit juice.</p>

<p>'I could win medals at Malaysia because I am fit and practise regularly, come what may.'</p>

<p>A post graduate in sociology from Jeevaji University, Gwalior, Anita is totally devoted to sports and has won medals not only in athletics but also judo, table tennis, weight-lifting.</p>

<p>She keeps a low profile. 'At the international meets I stay alone, don't mix around with people, keep a low profile and concentrate on my work because I am a fitness freak,' she says.</p>

<p>In fact, the poor efficiency and performance levels of the police she attributes to lack of interest in sports.</p>

<p>'Speaking for myself and my family, let me put it in bold letters: we do not accept a single penny from corrupt sources or as bribery. The whole department knows that. You know how difficult it is to stay away from the corrupting influences of the system you are part of, but I am proud of this fact,' Anita said.</p>

<p>'I have won all the shields and honours in police games for Agra and Uttar Pradesh in the past 12 years. But no one is proud of me. I feel so frustrated and feel like giving up because I cannot give anything to my family.</p>

<![CDATA[<p>One thing I desperately wait the whole year is my visit to Lord Ayyappa shrine in Sabarimala. There isn’t any particular reason that I get attracted to Him, but then I love the process of complete abstinence. I don’t want to count the number of times I have visited Sabarimala, but then the only prayer I have ever had was – “I need to quit the corporate world,” and it got manifested the very next year. Before that year or any year after that - I never had any prayers as such for my family members or me!<br />
</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>Logics get a heavy beating when faith creeps into your life. If I exchange sides with someone who can disprove the presence of God or disproves astrology, I surely can argue better than him. But then it needs a lot of guts and balls to be on the side – where you don’t have any logical explanation to prove your belief systems.</p>

<p>A coconut filled with ghee (muthirai) is carried along with rice and other puja items in a bag called Irumudi. And this ‘Irumudi’ is carried on the devotee’s head all through 72 kms of thick jungles of Sabarimala. The number of muthirais symbolizes the prayer or the wish a devotee has that particular year. It could be a – job change, or a better house, or a better relationship.</p>

<p>All my wishes are already granted, and hence I carry muthirais for others. And I have seen my prayers being answered almost immediately – God is just being good to me. </p>

<p>I personally feel that you can live life happily without anything else under the sun, but then life without a child can really be miserable. I normally carry three mutirais, and if any married childless couple wants me to pray for a child, it would be my pleasure. Just drop me a mail at kennedig@yahoo.com</p>

<p><strong>You can mail me ONLY if – </strong></p>

<p>*you are MARRIED already</p>

<p>*you are naturally childless for at least 3 or more years (meaning never tried artificial ways to block pregnancy or performed abortion)</p>

<p>*you are biologically normal (meaning good semen count, and your womb is still in place) </p>

<p>*your sexual life is good </p>

<p>*your ages are between 20 and 40</p>

<p>*you believe in the presence of God</p>

<p><strong>PS: Gay couples can ignore this post!</strong></p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p><strong>Till 5 pm IST, 15th November, 2009 </strong><br />
I had this soft corner for gays, thinking they are sexually different and they have different sexual orientation. And if by chance any gay had made any move towards me – I probably would have ignored him decently or made him patiently understand that I am a heterosexual and not a gay.</p>

<p><strong>Post 7 pm IST, 15th November, 2009</strong><br />
I can bet my head that gays aren’t sexually different, but they are mere sexual bastards wanting to justify their perversion. And if by chance any gay makes any move towards me – I will give them 2 tight slaps first and then a kick on their balls.<br />
</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>I am indebted to NDTV Hindu (TV channel) for this change in perception about gays in me. I was called for a talk show – thankfully not as an expert but as an audience - and the topic was ‘Homosexuality.’ And I wasn’t called because I am an astrologer, but was called because I was a friend of a friend who is working for NDTV Hindu.</p>

<p>On the experts’ side – there was a gay (a fashion designer), a psychologist (who was sexy), and a lesbian (Indian based in New York). And on the other side some 30 jobless mediocre audiences (none can realize how pathetic I feel about myself for being part of this list of assholes). And in the center it was Jennifer Arul, NDTV journalist, for whom I lost all the respect I had for a decade of more - in two hours!</p>

<p>The show started with an adjective, which said, “Chennaites are highly tolerant people.” Who said so? Chennaites are the people who lack basic guts, who don’t have an opinion of their own, and are tolerant because they don’t have the balls to fight or stand for their rights. The simple example for this being – ‘tolerating the injustice of auto guys for more than 2 decades now.’</p>

<p>The first question was – “what if you knew that your neighbours were gays?” Thankfully the mike was never passed to me. Everyone in the audience said, they wouldn’t have any problems. If I had the mike, I had a readymade answer, “If my neighbour is a lesbian, I will ask my wife to keep a safe distance. And if it is a guy, then I will take all the measures to save my ass.” </p>

<p>And kids will NEVER be allowed to go to their house. A whore has all the rights to exist. I never created her hence I don’t have any rights to stone her to death. I don’t have the rights to judge her lifestyle too. But then I will deal with the whore similar to the way I am dealing with a gay or lesbian – if they happen to be my neighbours.</p>

<p>I think debates, and talk shows should be conducted to bring out new issues and opinions than trying to cajole each other. From one side – the gays and lesbians were cutting a sorry figure saying how this society has discriminated them, the psychologist was trying to sell her brand, and from the other side – the audience were counseling the gays – as if it was some confession show happening! “We are ready to accept you as you are” it seems.</p>

<p>None in the world has any problems about who is fucking whom, and where he or she is fucking, and who prefers what - a man’s ass or a woman’s pussy or a dog’s mouth. If you have a partner – belonging to same or different sex, and if you want to live with him/her, and fuck him/her – you have all the rights. None in the world is peeping into your window to see what is happening. </p>

<p>The problem comes – when you try to be smart, keep yelling about your sexual ‘disorientation,’ make your move on every fucker you meet, cut a sorry figure, and then want to fuck the asses of whomsoever you get attracted to you. Choots – that rule isn’t accepted even for heterosexuals. </p>

<p>Once I saw a gay getting slapped by a man at a railway station toilet in Mumbai. Honestly I felt bad. When I asked what happened, someone said – that bugger was peeping to see the other’s person’s dick! Now this ain’t discrimination. If you say, “yes.” Then I have a humble request. I am a heterosexual, and I love women and their asses so kindly allow me to peep into woman’s public bathrooms! </p>

<p>After college days and after a long time, I felt the urge to get up and walk out on people’s faces. But then I had to sit to listen to all the crappy conversations. </p>

<p>The story was the same – how their parents didn’t accept them, how they struggled to understand their sexuality, and how proud they are about themselves…..as if the lives of heterosexuals are full of roses. I have had my set of tough times with all the women I have had in my life!</p>

<p>The gay expert had a sad story to narrate. He said – how he was not given a house, when the landlord came to know he was a gay! I am sure the landlord was never bothered about his sexual disorientation. May be the landlord was bothered about himself, “this gay might ass-fuck me instead of giving him the monthly rent!”</p>

<p>For a change, the mike came to me. And I asked the gay, “tell me one thing. You stick to one partner or multiple partners?” This provoked him. He asked, “did I ask you with how many women you have slept with?” I already got the answer. I mean he getting agitated was an answer in itself. He doesn’t stick to one man, and probably wants all the men to sleep with him.</p>

<p>I said, his story about landlord not giving him house to stay, will happen to me too – if I tell the landlord that I am a womanizer. My God – landlords have major problems in renting their houses to Muslims too. Even I have problems getting a house for being an astrologer! I always have to tell them that I am an Internet consultant, and that I am associated with big brands like Yahoo or rediff or astroyogi or astrolife…(I am sure my landlord is reading this blog).</p>

<p>Hence this sad story about houses and gays become invalid completely. And am sure my argument will be completely edited from the programme. My point was clear – these gays have problems not because of their sexuality, but they have problems because they try throwing stones everywhere and on everyone. </p>

<p>The other questions were highly stereotypic – are you ready to get married to same sex, will you adopt children, and about religion and gayhood….and none made any valid point. I think gays, eunuchs, and whores are the last people to comment on religion anyways!</p>

<p>As the programme got over, one of the lesbians got up to hug the gay, may be thinking that the audience will have few tears in their eyes about their sad existence. And I strongly felt that, she hugged him, because she knew that there wasn’t any chance of erection or probable courtship in the damn future! </p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>Before I write more about this particular incident/conversation let me save my ‘ass’ first. So here is the disclaimer that will save me from legal hassles, if any, in future.</p>

<p>“This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to people dead or alive is mere coincidence.”</p>

<p>Now to the blog…<br />
</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>“I have planned and killed 22 people so far. But remember – I haven’t killed anyone who didn’t deserved to be dead,” confessed Jack. And now I had this funny feeling in my stomach, and I had to run for a pee break. </p>

<p>“I was arrested once. And I already have spent 5 years behind bars.” “Prison life of course teaches you loads of lessons, but doesn’t necessarily transform you,” Jack added. </p>

<p>So why did you kill those 22 people on the first place? Jack said, “as a revenge for my father’s killing.” “My dad was murdered by the opposite gang, and I cleaned all of them – small and big wigs - who were responsible for his death.” </p>

<p>It would have been silly on my part if I had asked him, why didn’t you chose the legal system to defend yourself and punish the culprits. Because I knew that the answer would be obvious – by the time justice comes, all would have already died a natural death. </p>

<p>Have you ever repented for your actions, or do you have any regrets today? “When I think about their families, yes, I feel sad and depressed. But my decisions were taken out of anger  - for which I don’t have any regrets or repentance.” </p>

<p>Jack reads my blogs regularly and probably likes my blogs too. So he asked me, “would you be interested in writing a book on the Mumbai underworld? I will get you all the necessary leads.” I said perfectly fine. But won’t it create problems for people involved? He said, “remember everyone loves his/her 15 minutes of fame.”</p>]]>

<![CDATA[<p>It should be six months now. I got an international call. The person (let me call him – Jack) on the other side gave me the birth details of a guy, who was 26 years old. Jack wanted me to do a reading for the other guy. And his main concern was to know – whether he was running a bad time! I told him no. He is running a good time and Jack was a bit depressed to know that. I asked him why do you ask? And he said – ‘I just wanted to pump him off!!!’ And I shat bricks. <br />
</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>I asked Jack, “by the way who are you?” And he said, “well I am a Mumbai gangster.” I didn’t react for a while. Of course reading a book on gangster, or watching a gangster movie gives us a huge kick. And I think every man, at least once in his lifetime, has thought about being a gangster – for the mere thrill of holding power. </p>

<p>But it is a different story when you are in face to face with a real gangster. In fact you don’t understand what to ask, how curious you can get, and what not to ask. A fear always lingers in your mind that a ‘supposedly’ wrong question might get you a bullet on your head!</p>

<p>Jack is a good friend/client of mine now and these days we discuss many things– right from art to philosophy and from spirituality to religiousness. And with time he sounds to me more like an intellectual than an average person - highly creative and highly spiritual in nature!  </p>

<p>My curiosity didn’t stop me to ask something which I always wanted to ask a real gangster. Few top of the mind questions were – What brought you in? How many have you killed so far? Are you wanted in India? Gone behind bars ever? Do you have any regrets? And do you repent on any of your decisions? </p>

<p>And the answers I got were clear, straight, from the heart and without any hesitation. </p>

<p>To be continued.....<br />

<![CDATA[<p>If it is true that planetary placements and planetary movement drive human lives then even astrologers cannot escape its effect. Exactly on 26th September 2009 when Saturn was changing its house I had to witness a bad event.  My guinea pig died! Well I wouldn’t say that I didn’t blog for so many days because I was mourning for its death. I am used to these kinds of deaths. In fact I could with confidence say that there isn’t any animal that has not died at my hands – not deliberately though. Animals that have died at my hands include – dog, cat, rabbit, mouse, fish (at least 500), turtles, and owl. <br />
</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>It is said when a bad event is approaching your house, the pets and animals take it first instead of the master. It is very true and I have personally noticed and experienced this phenomenon. And whenever a couple of fish dies in my tank, I usually have sudden expenses. They are very much interrelated – no scientific evidences though. </p>

<p>Just after my Guinea’s death my daughters and I fell ill. Normally I don’t take any medicine instead I try to allow my body to heel on its own. But this time it was too much for me to handle. May be age is catching up soon. The doctor helped me kill the bad bacteria in 3 days through antibiotics but the medicine killed the good bacteria too. And it took another 10 days for the good bacteria to cure me completely.  </p>

<p>For most it is a lot scary when an important transit starts with such bad events. I knew astrologically that the period between September 2009 and November 2011 would be excellent for me. I should say – it would be better than the period between August 2007 and September 2009. These bad events, for some, leads to good events automatically. </p>

<p>On the good side – my long nurtured dream of buying an LCD TV (Full HD :D) got manifested. A friend/client took the pain to bring me one all the way from Abu Dhabi. And also I got on another website as a celebrity astrologer (http://www.astrovisiononline.com).</p>

<p>Work is good, finances are good, and also my hobby (aquascaping) is taking up some interesting steps ahead. So to summarize – God, as always, is showering his blessings on me. And to be honest  - life cannot be better. </p>

<p>I will surely try to be a lot regular with my blog updates.</p>

<p>God Bless All<br />

<![CDATA[<p>Some take astrology too seriously and some consider it as a mere entertainment. Both are perfectly fine. This wonderful divine art opens the way you want it to. If you are serious – you will get some good predictions. And if you are not serious – it will make you happy for the day with all the adjectives added. Today serious astrology is a bit expensive, and cheap astrology is just a SMS away. Many ‘top’ telecom companies are or have already got into providing Sun sign predictions to their clients. And they are majorly getting into providing customized predictions to their customers too. In this particular blog I am putting up a few mail exchanges, between someone and me who is getting into it very seriously. <br />
</p>]]>
<![CDATA[<p>This blog is unedited hence excuse the grammatical errors. And also I am hiding the other person’s name for courtesy sake. </p>

<p><strong>HIS FIRST MAIL</strong></p>

<p>We are starting a new service focussed on Mobile delivery.<br />
  <br />
The options that we are offering will be:<br />
  <br />
1. <strong>Live Video Chat </strong>with astrologers on Mobiles Here the Customers can see the Astrologer on their mobile and can ask their questions. <br />
  <br />

this is Video chat. <br />
 <br />
2.  <strong>Daily General Predictions</strong></p>

<p>Here we will need the daily predictions on all Sun Signs ideally we need the predictions for the entire day split into three parts one for morning then for afternoon and finally for evening.<br />
  <br />

  <br />
Let me know your interest</p>

<p>Regards<br />
XYZ</p>

<p><strong>MY REPLY TO HIS FIRST MAIL</strong></p>

<p>Hi XYZ,</p>

<p>Thanks for your mail. The idea is perfectly fine. Now the manifestation completely depends on the remuneration involved. </p>

<p>God Bless You  <br />
Regards  <br />
G. Kennedi </p>

<p><strong>HIS SECOND MAIL</strong></p>

<p>Dear Kennedi<br />
 <br />
Thanks your quick attention. I would like to elaborate hereunder.:<br />
 <br />
1. We are a technical software company and are connected with all major telecom operators in India. As a result we will be starting the service on Tata, BSNL, MTNL immediately and thereafter will expand to the other operators like Reliance etc. etc. In short the service will be available on all Telecom Networks in India<br />
    <br />
2. The price of sessions we plan to keep will be cheap around Rs. 50 for a session of 15 minutes. And a monthly prediction of each star sign will cost the customers Rs. 30 per month.<br />
 <br />
We are working on the assumptions of high volumes at low prices. Mass sellings.<br />
 <br />
3. You can expect vast numbers in Lakhs because the service will be co-promoted by the Telecom Operators themselves. <br />
  <br />
4. From the price at which we sell our services we expect to get a pay out from the Telecom Company in between 20 to 30% depending upon different Operators - The payout from<br />
 each Operator will be communicated to you well in advance.  <br />
 <br />
 5. We suggest that we share the revenue by giving you 33.33% of our net realizations on all your content sessions.<br />
 <br />
 6. In addition to the Revenue which will be earned you can also expect a big Publicity push.<br />
  <br />
 7. We expect that on each Telecom operator we should have in between 100,000 to 200,000 customers every month.<br />
 <br />
Let me know if this sounds interseting so that we can take this forward. Plus also advise us the time you can devote for the Live Video sessions.</p>

<p>Look forward to your advice.<br />
 <br />

<p><strong>MY REPLY TO HIS SECOND MAIL</strong></p>

<p>Hi XYZ,</p>

<p>Thanks for your prompt response. Let me be honest - the remuneration is nowhere close to what I make already.</p>

<p>Let me call it off. All the best. </p>

<p>God Bless You  <br />

<p><strong>HIS THIRD MAIL</strong></p>

<p>Hi Kennedi,</p>

<p>The potential of our service is as under.:<br />
 <br />
1. <strong>TELECOM OPERATOR </strong>1, about 50,000 Customers<br />
Rate of Session of 15 minutes Rs. 50<br />
Nett Rate to the Company after Payout from Operator : Rs. 12.50 per session<br />
Royalty to Astrologer 33.33% of Rs. 12.50 = Rs. 4.16<br />
  <br />
Total Business Rs. 4.16 x 50,000 = Rs. 2 Lakhs<br />
  <br />
Plus you benefit by way of publicity as 15-minute session is not enough for any person to get everything so prospects might wish to seek a personal meeting/session with you.<br />
Think it over. No rush.</p>

<p>Regards<br />
 <br />
XYZ</p>

<p><strong>MY REPLY TO HIS THIRD MAIL</strong></p>

<p>Hi XYZ,</p>

<p>Thanks for your mathematical explanation. I really thought over it, and without any rush did a mathematical calculation.</p>

<p>Let us consider a hypothetical situation</p>

<p>“Say all the 50,000 customers opted for this 15 mns live chat with me”</p>

<p>So if I work for a full 8 hours in a day continuously, I will be able to do 4 readings in one hour, and 32 readings in a day.</p>

<p>So to complete 50,000 reading it will take me 1562 days (50,000 divided by 32), which is 4.2 years. (Almost 5 years)</p>

<p>So the 2 lakhs you are promising me will take 5 years for me. So per year I will be making 40,000, which is Rs 3333 per month – not to forget 8 hours of continuous effort from my end. </p>

<p>Sorry if I am crossing my limits, but then my electricity bill per month is 3000 rupees. </p>

<p>Thanks for the offer anyways.</p>

<p>God Bless You  <br />
Regards  <br />
G. Kennedi </p>

<p>I never got any 4th mail from him!</p>

<p>I paid Rs 4500 for the tattoo I have on my right hand. I didn’t mind paying that much because I read something interesting in that studio which said – </p>

<p>“A good tattoo isn’t cheap and a cheap tattoo isn’t good.” Well that holds true for astrology too!</p>

<p>God Bless All</p>
