Tech Savvy Cheaters in Astrology Business
Tech savvy guys get on to groups, then learn some basics of astrology and try answering some questions.
Then once they get the hang of things, they post some answers, while the query is posted by themselves with a different email id. Then there is correct prediction of event message posted on the group with the fake id.
One more trick these fraudsters use is, go to astro.com and get the free horoscope with the birth details provided and get the basic reading - which is almost on the perfect sense to make out the answer for the query.
Now other gullible troubled people (humans are always stressed one way or another.) fall for this and send out a personal note asking for help. Then these guys, ask for donation and try to make some money out of it. Some even have websites and say that dont want to charge, but charge and ripoff. Certain guys would not know that - it takes a lot of effort and very strong study to make something out of the query. (Always I see these websites post the costs of query and free stuff to download etc.). Their answers are so vague and tough to interpret. Yes and No. Who wants that. Is there a way to correctly predict the movement of a job/transfer for a person or the cause of illness of the person. Can they explain why they are trying to chose Sun aspecting 4th and 8th house for fathers Cancer, while 9th house is neglected?
The KP System predictions have been very good and scientific. (even though still it falls in earth's eye and Sun going around it as Prasara says - giving benefits). The beauty is it is very simple to learn, and I am telling from my experience of 19 years in KP system.
Beware, you cannot predict without the divine help and belief. Even if you approach scientifically, it might give the probability approach. But as Shri Krishnamurthiji says, unless you are blessed, you cannot read into things without the blessings and ruling planets.
I can tell you from personal experience that, I get totally drained out, after I do a Hororary analysis. That is the spiritual power.
I take life as it comes, and try to see the pits and try to cushion the effects of the fall one step at a time.
User car export?
Check this site http://www.exporttrader.com
Well, first things first - you need to convert the driving side from left to right, thats it! And the dashboard items also move along.
I am told by a friend that his 1996 Accord shipment cost him 3500$ or so other than the cost his vehicle and conversion. Very cheap compared to what it costs to import a brand new car. But beware, you need to ensure that the emission standards and road worthiness certificates are got.
But last and not the least, you should always ensure that the current petrol gets the best of the car. (unleaded).

Maanada Mayilada (Exchange round - April 27th, 2008)
Vulgar to be precise. This program can be doen even better without those kuthu songs.
Someone (Suresh?) was telling it is better than being in a movie to dance for 26 weeks. May be get got paid more in TV (26 x Rs 10,000 = Rs 2.6 lakhs) than in movies. Just kidding. No offense.
All the ladies were givin manly looks and gaze.
The very best was Ganeshkar and Arthi (and that Vijayakanth song was super). Hats off!

Famous son-in-law. Composed at this young age. He was never clear on why and how he ended up marrying his wife. (arranged or love?)
I think they edited his version of his father-in-law Rajinikanth and politics.
Nevertheless, a better coverage.

KP System Predictions
Parashari, one of the systems of astrology practiced in India, attributed to the Aryans and their descendents, is somewhat similar to classical western astrology in the symbology and building blocks used, with some differences as well, such as the use of the sidereal zodiac divided into 12 signs and 27 asterismal divisions or lunar mansions. The vedic system is heavily lunar in its orientation. It supports unique systems of lunar progression and transits, for timing of events, and techniques for measuring strengths of planets etc. The system relies heavily on planetary associations and combinations known as yogas. The rising degree represents the house-mid and the three popular house systems used are entire sign as house, equal house division and Sripati's system which is identical to the quadrant-trisecting method after Porphyrii. It recommends using a chart drawn for the moment when the querist (client) approaches and poses the question to the astrologer or when the question is received by the latter. The moment of formation of the question in the querist's mind is similar to conception, whereas, its physical manifestation in the form of a spoken or written question is akin to the "moment of birth"!
By that token, the time at which the astrologer reads a horary query in email or message would probably be a better epoch for drawing the horary chart, rather than the time of posting of the message/email. Some might argue that the time when the query was posted was the moment when the person was thinking intently about the issues involved and perhaps a chart drawn for that moment might better reflect the outcome of the query. If classical wisdom can be relied upon, the recommendations are clear. The moment of transfer of the information to the astrologer is the key epoch. One way to test this would be through what is known as "mooka prushna" or "unverbalized questions"! The client lets the astrologer know that there is a question and the astrologer figures out what it is about! A very interesting and 'stress- provoking' exercise! Two charts can then be drawn for each query, one for the time of posting of the "unposed" question (querist's coordinates) and the other one for the time and place when the email was read and analysed by the astrologer. Repeating the exercise for say a dozen times or more would hopefully give an estimate of which epoch works better. Have a ball doing that folks!
Horary astrology was given a major boost some decades ago by an Indian astrologer named Krishnamurthi who devised a unique system based on the use of several interesting indicators such as planets ruling the weekday, the asterism that the moon is in at the time of asking of the question and the ascendant rising at that instant. The system was claimed as capable of providing highly accurate readings and Krishnamurthi acknowledged having received the 'method' in the form of a divine inspiration. He decided to use the placidian house divisions with these sidereal charts, a major divergence from classical vedic astrology; moreover, he placed the rising degree at the beginning of a house and not in the middle as practiced by other jyotishis. His 'system' also had an interesting twist. Since the zodiac can be divided into 249 divisions, each ruled by a sign-lord (one per 30 deg), star-lord (one per 13 deg 20 min) and a star-sublord (variable dimensions, 40 min to 2 deg 13 min 20 sec), he often asked clients to provide a number between 1 and 249 which he used as the ascendant in a chart drawn for the moment of the querry (planetary longitudes were calculated for the moment). A client providing a number that was outside this range was told that the venture would not be a success!
Through KP, as the method was called (Krishnamurthi's Paddhati or Procedure), Krishnamurthi revealed and revived a very important fundamental concept on the indian astrological scene, that of the role of asterisms in chart analysis and particularly by refining the use and improving the usefulness of the vimshottary dasha system of timing. He must be commended for that.
The system is essentially not very different from that used for delineating any other chart as per vedic parlance. The chart is drawn by using either the numerical representative for the ascendant, or for the epoch of the querry. The planets in both cases are calculated for the moment of making the querry. The significant planets are the planet ruling over the weekday, the lords of the signs, stars and subs of the rising degree (ascendant) and the moon. The ascendant is taken to represent the client while the seventh house represents the astrologer. When the astrologer also happens to be the querist, it is interesting that at times this is indicated in the chart itself in terms of 'connectivities' between the two houses! Next, the house/houses pertaining to the question are examined and these are checked to see if they tally with the significant planets. The success or failure of the undertaking then would be indicated by the mutual agreement or disagreement between the planets. Things such as friendship (or lack thereof) between the planets concerned, their association with each other by aspect, any beneficial combinations (yogas) between relevant planets and the strength of the planets are considered. An examination of the vimshottary dasha is then made and this is used, in addtion to transits of the significant planets and stars for estimating the timing. Situations where the indicators are fewer and clear, the outcome can be expected to be better predictable. If too many conflicting influences exist, there is usually reason to believe that the issue is riddled with problems. In his writings, Krishnamurthi gave numerous examples of things such as long-distance phone calls. This might amuse the western reader who is used to dialing a number and expecting to get through right away. In India of years ago, before direct dialing became available, one had to place a call and then wait and wait and wait, often at the post- office because most people did not have personal phones. It was a big deal and Krishnamurthi used it to test his system! Perhaps we can do the same with our snail-mail here!
Krishnamurthi gave a list of houses that are involved in determining and examining diffferent areas/issues in life. I am presenting a tiny sampling here:
Health issues - 1, 6, 8
Income - 2, 11, 10
Children - 5
Love affairs - 5, 7
Spirituality - 9, 12
Expenditure - 12
Litigations/Insurance matters - 8, 12
Siblings - 3, 11
Home, Property etc. - 4, 8
Education - 5, 9
Communication, Letters etc - 3, 11
Business/Interview - 7
Service/Working for others - 6
Fame/Profession - 10
Spouse - 7
Family, Wealth - 2
Pets/Animals - 5, venus
Mystery/Intrigue - 8, nodes of moon
Once an indicator is decided upon, its situation in the horary horoscope is examined and basing on the postions and the mutual relationship between the star and sublords, success or failure is assessed. Generally, if the sublord is in an angle or trine from the houses ruled by the starlord, success is indicated, whereas, if the sublord is in the 6th, 8th or 12th from the house under examination, then delays, obstacles and failure result. Sometimes, the nature of the involved signs and planets gives a clue about the speed with which the issue would progress to a culmination. Fixed signs, earthy influences, retrograde planets and planets such as jupiter and saturn generally indicate delays, sun, venus, mars, moon and mercury represent speedy progress. The nodes (rahu and ketu) add unpredictability and suddenness, and result in uneven progress in the matters at hand.
When the question is posed, it is recommended that there should not be any distraction and the querist should meditate on the question for a while, examining all known aspects of it before placing the question. Clarity and seriousness of intent is probably rewarded with similar answers. The reasoning behind this is remarkably similar to that applicable for other kinds of divinatory procedures. The seriousness of the querist must first be examined in order to determine if the chart would hold well and represent the process adequately or not. Common sense dictates that if the two houses (1 and 7) are strong and well connected, then the communication could prove to be fruitful. A similar postiive connection between the first house (querist) and the house representing the matter under query are strongly connected then the question was sincere and has a better chance of being analyzed positively. This is important, because even if the query is about an important matter, the querist may not trust sufficiently in astrology or the astrologer and this would be reflected in the chart and could lead to a 'noisy' imprecise reading.

My life In Bangalore!
Elloriya Namaskaragalu!
I visited Bangalore during my childhood days of 1970's when my grandma was here. Osalli Road. Padarayanpura, closer to Vijaya Nagar. (She had bought a ground of land for Rs 40,000 then, with silk maggas & house) and during 1990 she sold it for Rs 4 Lakhs. Today I am told the price is about Rs 40 Lakhs. Too much! 10 times in 18 year! Thanks to IT Boom!
Real estate prices are very silly in Bangalore.
Just go across to Hosur side, Thalli Side, Denkani Kottai side, you get at half the price. In fact Thalli is having an operational airbase. Cargo airport is due to come there.
I frequented visitign Bangalore bcoz of its Garens and and nice cool life.
When I got my job in 1990, I wished to be posted here, but got Secunderabad. But frequented regularly.
After I returned back from USA in 1999, I wanted to settle in Bangalore. Hmm.. did not happen as I wished. Movements in 2001 and 2003. For good or bad. Now back in Bengaluru!
I will write more...

Email from Boss!
| It's half past 8 in the office but the lights are still on... All or most specimens are?? Look closer... again all or most of them are bachelors... And why are they sitting late? Working hard? No way!!! This is the scene in most research centers and software companies and other off-shore offices. Bachelors "Time-passing" during late hours in the office just bcoz they say they've nothing else to do... "Working" (for the record only) late hours soon becomes part of the institute or company culture. With bosses more than eager to provide support to those "working" late in the form of taxi vouchers, food vouchers and of course good feedback, (oh, he's a hard worker... goes home only to change..!!). To hell with bosses who don't understand the difference between "sitting" late and "working" late!!! Very soon, the boss start expecting all employees to put in extra working hours. So, My dear Bachelors let me tell you, life changes when u get married and start having a family... office is no longer a priority, family is... and For your boss, the earlier "hardworking" guy suddenly seems to become a "early leaver" even if u leave an hour after regular time... after doing the same amount of work. People leaving on time after doing their tasks for the day are labeled as work-shirkers... Girls who thankfully always (its changing nowadays... though) leave on time are labeled as "not up to it". All the while, the bachelors pat their own backs and carry on "working" not realizing that they r spoiling the work culture at their own place and never realize that they wuld have to regret at one point of time. So what's the moral of the story?? Learn music... Learn a foreign language... Try a sport... TT, cricket......... Importantly,get a girl friend or boy friend, take him/her around town... * And for heaven's sake, net cafe rates have dropped to an all-time low (plus, no fire-walls) and try cooking for a change. Take a tip from the Smirnoff ad: *"Life's calling, where are you??"* Please pass on this message to all those colleagues and please do it before leaving time, don't stay back till midnight to forward this!!! IT'S A TYPICAL ASIAN MENTALITY THAT WORKING FOR LONG HOURS MEANS VERY HARD WORKING & 100% COMMITMENT ETC. PEOPLE WHO REGULARLY SIT LATE IN THE OFFICE DONT KNOW TO MANAGE THEIR TIME. SIMPLE !
Your Boss |
