Guide to the hand


Friday, May 23, 2008, 1:57 PM


As a child palmistry used to look like a fraud baba's job. U know, people sitting on the footpaths.Slowly as a teenager, it was fun in the class rooms. Someone used to say, your life partner's first alphabet appears on your thumb or something. All that kiddish crap and ya,u join your hands and make the moon, another kiddish thing many people may have done in their teenage years.

Didi bought this book, Guide to the hand, from an exhibition.Cheiro's books on palmistry are perhaps the best you will ever find, so I write about it, even though I learned nothing from the book, except that palmistry is a very advanced form science, one has to work hard to learn it and with a high level of concentration.




Genre - Palmistry




Age factor - 16 and above


The book

On the outside, it looks like a booklet, just 126 pages slim book.But inside is a wealth of knowledge that is unimaginable.The book is divided into 2 parts,cheirognomy, and cheiromancy.

Most fascinating thing I found in this book was that palmistry isn't just about those lines on the palm, but nails, thumbs, knuckles are studied too.Study it well, and many mysteries can be solved about your friends and family.But read it with ample of time at hand, as it requires clarity of mind and high concentration.Good one for beginners, for some basic knowledge.


Gifting ideas

Just 50 rupees this book costs, its a bonanza for you, but don't go about gifting it.Only where your friend may be interested in these things you should.This book isn't for anyone and everyone.You will find much better options than thisIfeel.But if it is a token gift then sure,go ahead.




A thought worth sharing

"There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and a tired man who wants a book to read. " G.K. Chesterton

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...

Politics - A Profession

This post is loosely inspired by the  TATA Tea a d  where this politician goes to ask for votes and a voter asks him for his qualification and work experience the the important 'job' that he is embarking upon. The politician laughs at the voter, asking him what job is the voter referring to. The voter responds, "The job to run the country". Do politicians in other countries view politics as a profession? Or is politics viewed similarly across international boundaries? The best way of course to find out is go to that ever useful tool for professionals - LinkedIn.  Here are the results: Barrack Obama Hillary Clinton Sarah Palin The apparently technologically challenged Senator   John McCain . I also came across many politicians, prime ministers who have LinkedIn profiles. While having a LinkedIn profile is not a certificate of a person character, one has to appreciate the intent. Reach out to masses, and more importantly, take politics as a profession. Successful leade...
