Astrology has a history but it does not make history.

Astrology has a history but it does not make history. Rather I would say it doesn't make a future as well.

Now this is something that I strongly agree with-----According to Fr. Stanley Harakas, when we pay attention to horoscopes, palm readings, tea leaves, and the like, we deny both the Kingship of God and the fact that He created each of us in His image — complete with the free will to accept or reject Him by choosing to do right or do wrong. He did not create us to be victims of the stars. Astrology “is a denial the fundamental truths of the Christian Faith… [and] of the Christ-like way of living — something to be rejected as un-Christian!”

Trying to understand what so many Indians believe in without any proper understanding, I decided to research the same coz I believe in logic and not a trend. Finally reading a couple of articles, analysing the concepts and sayings, I stick to calling it all a nonsense and nothing else. 

I don't understand why are we humans so insecure about our own lives? Why do we need someone to tell us what we are and what's good and bad for us? Don't we have the capabilities and courage to pave a path for us which is the right path and that I would call is the path of God! Love God and not fear him... Why is there a need of all this nonsense of astrology and jyotish vidya which I guess  is surviving in our country is coz  we humans crave for a perfect life, loads of money, love and prosperity which is in short GREED FOR BEING PERFECT! That is the reason why we keep on running to these so called enlightened individuals every now and then to get some hope or a understanding of what's in store for us. 

I disagree to all this so called science of astrology...I live each moment of this life as mine with me on the drivers seat paving my own path....I don't need anyone telling me what I am and whats's in store for me coz its life and I am ready for all ups and downs coz I am God's child and I believe in just him!!!!

MASSAGES & More - All the more!!!


Just now I am missing something - in this strenuous day-to-day life... the general daily routine there has to be days which differ.....Now I am missing that day right at this point in time on my office desk after a heavy lunch...

My bones are craving for it!!!!!!

A day when I am instructed to lie, face down, on the massage table. The lights are dimmed, a mild 'aromatherapy' type, beautiful fragrance is sprayed into the surrounding air, the body is swaddled in soft, deep pile towels and the massage is ready to begin.

I can just feel it with my eyes closed.....

A hot compress is firmly applied to the base of the feet. The pressure shifts, smoothly, to the legs. The calves are kneaded, then squeezed, rubbed, gently thrummed until the resistance and stiffness start dissolving away.

A day when the human expert hands take charge and the body succumbs before a higher power.

As the process progresses from feet to calves, then knees and thighs, up through the back and neck to the crown of the head, the mind starts to seemingly disconnect from the rigid connection with the body and drift lazily away.


I am coming coming to that heaven soon !!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't be blind guys have faith in yourself!

After a long period of time, a bollywood movie has really made me proud. Umesh Shukla and Akshay Kumar good job :)

But more than appreciating them, I researched a bit on it to find out who was behind the original thought process of this story n presentation. Then I came to know that Oh My God is an adaptation of a play called Kanji Viruddh Kanji which itself is inspired by the Australian film, The Man Who Sued God.

So the pat on the back goes to the true originators but still I am very thankful to Akshay Kumar coz of him, I actually witnessed a movie that I so connect with. Every word, dialogue, drama each and every minute is what I truly believe in. Oh My God makes a compelling argument against the commercialization of religion, which is the main issue in Indian society. Yes it indeed is, we Indians are so degraded by this nonsense that our thought process has actually become meaningless. I am here not pointing fingers at anyone I don't know, but people whom I know and interact on a daily basis. Almost everyone goes to the rescue of religion in their own weird ways instead of facing the truth. It is really disappointing yet such a vast n never ending belief that sometimes pulls you away towards it on the mere number factor. My ancestors did so I am and will therefore force it on the coming generation too. It is just never-ending and amidst all this blind religious drama, movies like this gives such a relief to people like me. Yes I believe in God undoubtedly but not in religion!!!!!!N there is a huge difference here. 

OMG makes a solid case against blind faith, the excesses of religious rituals, and the self-appointed "collection agents" of God, and that's exactly what we Indians need to come out of...Faith is understood and accepted but not at the cost of truth.

What else can I say...go watch it and its highly recommended!!!!!!!
