astro-turf.

Frankly, I have never believed in astrology. I hated it when the Indian govt started some dumb course in astrology in BHU. But, all astrology prediction never fail to amuse me, to say the least.

Some people write in their orkut about me, that they are typical Scorpio or Cancerian etc. They make full effort to make themselves look special, out of the ordinary (everyone on orkut does). But, if you are a typical variety of one amongst 12 'breeds' among the Homo sapiens, how special are you? How unique are you? Trust me, when asked about yourself, saying you are a typical Cancerian is a definite turn-off. Actually, its plain dumb.

Nevertheless, just for fun, I started a subscription with some website which sent me weekly forecasts. It asked me basic kundali info. I could tell you if you are interested ;-) but I dont know my birth time, so ask your panditji to adjust for it. And the forecast it sent every Sunday was really really enlightening! Enlightening? No, the correct word is funny. I was lucky enough to see a very steep rise in my romantic adventures in my forecasts (though its unfortunate nothing corresponding to that had any remote chance of happening in real life). But, it did raise a few hopes, once in a while. And definitely, was a wonderful topic of interesting discussions many a times. Hehehe..

I know this is a very very arbit post.. and am definitely going to get a "Abbe ye kya likha hai?? :-o " from chiku and others. But thats alright. :-) Thats how the stars would have it. :D

I'll wrap up with a quote I read a few days back while googling..

The good psychic would pick up the phone before it rang. Of course it is possible there was noone on the other line. Once she said "God Bless you" I said, "I didn't sneeze" She looked deep into my eyes and said, "You will, eventually." And damn it if she wasn't right. Two days later I sneezed.
