Muralitharan bigger than Bedi

Masters of spin and woes, could have been the apt title for the article Mukul Kesavan wrote.

Read here on Cricinfo More than Muralitharan; bigger than Bedi

My comment is also there....

I think that Murali is correct when he says he is within the legal limits of chucking as per ICC rules. Bedi is also correct when he says according to him he consider's Murali's action similar to chucking.

There is no contradiction here as I will explain with an example. A person has parked his car regularly for last 10 years at acertain place. Today Police put up a "No Parking " board. What was legal until yesterday will now be illegal. Similarly, ICC by declaring a limit on arm bending has made Murali's action legal. Let's however allow Bedi to retain his stance based on human eye instead of the lab tests. I think Murali should not have sought legal action but rather ignored the comment of Bedi. Similarly no body has commented on Arjuna Ranatuga's response which is more defamatory than Bedi's statement.

Prithivs 5th Birthday at Bangalore

Life at Bangalore!

Indeed it is great and exhilarating on the choice of living in Bangalore.
 
I moved to Bangalore South on Bannerghatta Road, the upcoming residential area! Have to travel 15Kms to Central / Airport.
 
For 2 months I have been shuttling from and to Chennai, where the family was.... and my wife was finishing up her exams.
 
In fact tried all modes of transport Air (Deccan, Kingfisher, Spicejet, Paramount and Indian) and Train ... for weekend travel. I felt cost wise no one can beat Air Deccan at about 1100+ for a trip and timewise and convenience by Paramount.
 
Kids are loving the weather, 4 degrees cooler than Chennai and cold in the mornings and unexpected rains!
 
But I can see the strains of cos tof lviing on the higher side. In Chennai you are used below MRP 5% or 10%.
 
So other than paying up 5K PM for the house extra of similar kind, the other expenses would be like, say 5K more.
 
So if you are negotiating salary, keep this in mind! (after tax). Only thing you might be happy about is Autos, run with meter!

    Shares and KP System

    The Native's purpose was a short term investment, less than 1 year. In such cases one has to examine the 5th cusp sub. If this Sub lord is the principal
    Significator of 2 or 6 or 11 then the native can make profits in the periods
    Running at the time of the question. However, one cannot determine the amount of the profits likely to be made.

    In the case under consideration, the 5th cusp sub lord is Venus. The 4 step
    Houses strongly signified are as under:
    Venus          :
    Stl of Ven Sat : 8-2
    Sbl of Ven Sat :
    Stl of Sat Ket : 9(Sun 11)
                   : stl of ketu sun:11

    (When Rahu/Ketu becomes the Star Lord, it not only gives results of the
    Owner of its house of residence, but also of its own starlord)  

      Here Venus has become the strong signifier of 2 and 11. So the native will
    Earn profits in the Short term investment. If the houses signified are 5 or 8
    Or 12 then indications are No profits in short term.

     In such cases one has to check up whether there is indication of Long term
    Profits. For this one has to check the 12th cusp sub-lord.  If this sub lord strongly signifies  2-6-or 11 then profits in long term investment are forseen

     Now we have to determine, when the promised profits will materialise. This has to be fixed by the DBA s.

     At the time of the querry, Sun Bhukty in the Dasa of Sun was upto 2 dec 2006. Let us chech up the significance of sun: This is as under:

    SUN             :--
    STL JUP         : 11-1-4
                      CON VEN(11-6)
    SBL SUN          :-
    STL JUP         : 11-1-4
                      CON VEN(11-6)

     Here the Dasa,and Bhukty Lord has become the significator of 6 and 11 also of the helpful 1st house. So this Dasa, Bhukty will be fruitful

     Since Sun does not signify the 2nd House(wealth), the Sun bhukti will not be fruitful. After this the Moon Bhukty is upto 3 rd June 2007. The signification of Moon is as under:

    MOON            9
    STL SUN         11
    SBL SUN         ---
    STL JUP :      11-1-4
                      CON VEN(11-6)

     Here  the Moon Bhukty indicates 1,6,11 so it is fruitful. The native immediately bought 2000 shares of the company.

     Now to determine, in which Antara, the native will realise the profit, we must find out the which planets signify strongly the 2nd house.
    In the chart, Ven,Mars, Rahu, JUO, Sat and Merc ,the 6 planets strogly signify the 2nd house. So, as per experience, and Guruji's teachings, that NODES are stronger than planets, I chose the Rahu Antara. This period was from 28 dec 2006 to 25 Jan 2007. It is during this period that the native will realise the profits.

     In between, having checked that he was running a good time, the native purchased some more shares of the company.
       
     He sold all the shares, in lots between 2nd Jan and 11th Jan 2007, and earned a decent profit.

     If one wants to find out the further date of Sooksma, one can certainly attempt it. The native got the max profit in the period 9 th t0 13 th Jan 2007, becaue the Merc had become the strongest significator of 2,6,10,11 houses.
