Dated April 22, 2011.  Reposting for records :).

After a not so nice evening, I chatted with a pal and said "I just hope I don't kill myself by the time I am 50 or 60". The friend said "I doubt it" and went on to say some of the finest things I have ever heard about me. :). The friend did cheer me up - a lot and therefore I wanna keep this as a token of all the fabulous things I could be.

Jeevuitton,

2. You will have your portrait drawn, photographed, computer-generated, painted, 3-D hologramed, etc by the most interesting artists in the world
3. You will teach a class, give seminars, teach, mentor and leave an awesome legacy
4. You will not lose your hair and will be very proud of that (I loved this one)

Hello July

A couple of months back I picked up two books on 2012 horoscopes. Personally, I believe the cosmos is some sort of science and astrologers study it. I don't get too involved when I read them but I don't ignore them either. I believe luck plays a very crucial role in making one's fate - and luck probably is positive energy dancing a ballad with your hard work. 

This month's horoscope says "This is a very positive time. This is a period of culmination in your life. The old order will end and there will be new beginnings."

This month does ring in something new. Starting this month, I work out of Pune for more than a couple of months - a transfer I requested and my company was kind enough to grant it. As far as 'culmination' is concerned -- I know there have been a couple of things on my radar and they will be until next year. I have to work towards them step by step and hopefully by next year, I shall have accomplished milestones. So, I am looking forward to this month and hereafter. Also, this is the first time in 8 years that I am working from Pune and there is a certain amount of joy. Today a brahmakamal blossomed in our Pune home. It is considered a good omen and for the first time I have been a witness to this magnificent event. I want to believe that this blossom and me being in Pune has something to do with the 'culmination' in my life.

As for June, I had a great time in Goa. Speaking of coincidences when I booked my tatkal rail ticket my seat number was A1 23 ==> 23 is the day of a month I was born. It was a sign that said my Goa experience was going to be very pleasant.

The last week of June was a little stressed and expensive with all the shifting. I am happy that's done now. July is going to be very expensive too... I am thinking of buying Samsung SIII, another lens for shooting and probably a new two wheeler.  Lets see how July goes. Cheers.
