Fortunes,Forecasts,et al


Do you believe in the annual forecasts,the monthly ones,the weekly ones,the daily ones,which appear under your star sign, in papers and mags? Well,I do-mainly the good parts,of course..LOL...so,this year, for the simple reason that I don't want to go around storing clippings for this year's forecasts, I'm going to make them part of my posts-easier to recap to them, na.And, also,fun to see interpretations from them.


So,here goes:
This one's from a mag:(Edited by me,coz it was too long,so, only the,err,juicy bits are retained):

From Jan to June,you:(My comments in bracket)
-will be caught up in financial matters at home.(Bang on-that's right,till June)
-will render your support wherever required.(I always do)

Do not feel as if you are being made the victim of something and let no insecurity set in,causing you any grief. (Thank you for that advice,just in case!)

This is the time for you to achieve a lot of success so just keep that as your goal and go ahead and achieve it.(I believe, I believe)

From July till the end of the year:
-Your time to learn new things. (Definitely,even if I'm back in India then)
-Be a part of new institutions and get more educated.(Yes! Could be)
-Your knowledge about certain topics will increase.(Definitely-life's an upward learning curve,always)
-You will be waiting for things to happen favourably,so continue to remain positive.(I always do)

You have an interesting year ahead,as it is all in your hands whether to make it or break it.(Yes, I agree...just what I always say-your happiness is in your hands only)
Talking to your mentors and, once in a while, being with yourself to recharge your batteries would be an excellent idea.(Yes,but then,I'd have to look for some mentors besides myself.LOL)

The most interesting part:
How to achieve your goal: Identify a tune or song that reminds you of your goal and hear it daily for the rest of the year. (Now,that's a challenge..can remember only two songs like that,but,they're ole hat.Any sugggestions,people?)

Any guesses about my star sign, from the above forecast? Maybe not,because they've missed out the one character trait of my sign,which I read about everywhere.And,that is....:)

If I go by my forecasts, I would have -

1. Been married at least 15 times
2. With 10-12 romances going on asking me see the world in a new light
3. Would have traveled almost every week for the past year ("travel is on the cards").

So I read mine for humor purposes only :)

I dun believe in astrology all that much but I do believe that the Universe and its beings r all inter-connected, and therefore we must be having some effect on each other :)

Hard to imagine what Star sign u r, but I'd guess ur a Capricorn?

I have a very convenient way of looking at forecasts et al, if they mention good things I keep that in mind and believe it, but if they predict doom and misfortune and not think about it.

The ones published in papers and mags are ridiculous though. I knew someone who wrote the monthly forecasts in one of the leading woman's mags and he wrote them as he pleased. And he was by no means a astrologer of any kind!

I feel the forecasts are the same for all signs.

Perception

  Hi all positive people.. a topic I often think over.. it's something which helped a lot in changing my thoughts towards the positive side (Again, learned via the Secret)... and, still does, in this always continual learning curve. The subject: Perception... my own perception: Think over it, specially, your negative thoughts and emotions about people and things - you find someone to be angry, you find them to be always complaining, you hate(That's the worst negative word, according to me.. better to dislike than hate, if you have to) someone or something. Think over it... are those persons or things like that? Or, it it your perception of how they are? Have you tried to put yourself in their place to see if they are, deep inside worried about something else, and that worry comes out as irritation towards you? One of the best remedies: Smile, bless that person or those persons and wish them all the best.. if they don't change, nee, not them, but YOUR perception of them does...

Inventions and Discoveries

I'm really curious. Who invented the 'Va'. Or the 'Sha'. Or the 'Wi'. Or some such words. No, they're not some illnesses or prefixes. These are the words we invent when talking to people. I see the usage the max, specially in Baroda. Like: 1. Chai-Vaai peeni hai?(Want to have some Chai-Vaai?) 2. Naashta-Vaashta kar liya?(Did you have Naashta-Vaashta?) 3. Chutney-Vutney hai kya?( Is there any chutney-vutney?) 4. Lift-Wift nahin hai kya building mein?(Isn't there a Life-Wift in the building?) 5. Bombay-Wombay/ Dubai-Shubai kab jaa rahe ho ab?(When are you going to ....?) 6. Paise-Vaise milenge time pe ya nahin?(Will you get Paise-Vaise on time or not?) There are so many others I come across during the day, like, say speaker-veeker, phone-vone, kapde-vapde, dukaan-vukaan, that I have these rhyming words coming out of my ears, and, Arghhh!! Since the last few days, even I've started talking like this. Hopefully it won't be too rampant on my blo...

Tag:What's in your bag?

(Disclaimer: all the briefcase pics are courtesy goo-gling) Sush ,nee, SS has tagged me(thanks for that,SS)-the (ahem) only guy picked to do the tag...curiosity @ what I carry in my briefcase,apparently.:) So,here goes...be ready to get shocked??Not really.. ---- Currently: Answer is : Nothing..:)hehe..why? Coz I don't carry a bag or a briefcase. Some months back, I decided that I was fed up of carrying...(Well,that appears below)...anything to work. Just decided' Khaali haath aaye the hum, khaali haath jaayenge' applies to my work place,too..and..the rest,as they say, is history..so while people look proud lugging their laptops,their lunches, et al everyday to work..and sweating away in this humid weather, I'm cool,calm, collected...no pressure on the arms,so to speak. All the 'necessities', from otrivin to homeopathic medicine to headache tabs,biscuits,sweet awla,sunflower seeds ..are kept in the drawer of my desk. ---- To continue the tag from the...
