I used to be a complete non-believer.
My family would barely talk about astrology or horoscopes. Our only indulgence was the sun-sign forecast column in the Times of India on Sundays that my father would ask me to read out for him.
Then shit happened – father got I’ll and had to quit his job and move out of the city – all this during my 12th boards.
My father’s condition slowly deteriorated and he passed away 6 years from then which was 1 month into my MBA. It was a big loss and I must have been sad for about an year. I although had a big grudge for the so called family doctor who had amputated his toes the night of which my father passed away.
After that life caught up, I finished my MBA and moved to Bangalore for work. 2.5 years into that and I was doing quite well and I got a promotion which made me eligible for a leased car.
I bough one (had to wait for 8 months for the model I wanted because of the demand) then I ask my middle brother (2nd of 3 – I am the youngest) to come for the delivery from Pune.
He came along with my mom after a lot of persuasion (he hated coming to blore ) . One Sunday morning about 10 days from the when he landed in Blore he went to bed for a nap after having his breakfast. He never woke up. He was just 34 years old (I was 28). His habits were clean (vegetarian, non alcoholic and non smoker) and he was quite healthy and a very pious soul.
This whole episode baffled me. My close cousin who was also witness to all of this went into depression and had to take medical help and medicine to get out of it.
Medical science just said it was a heart attack, but could never explain why it happened. Which was hopelessly strange to me. I needed answers.
I remember after the 13 days of rituals my eldest brother suggested our mother stayed with him and his family (wife, 5 year daughter, in-laws) for a few months. I agreed.
So I was back in Blore trying to escape depression and sadness, but I would keep getting a thought of
- “what if the same happens to me,
- what if my breath stops while I am sleeping,
- what if I sleep off and don’t wake up the next morning,”
Believe me those were some of the most traumatic days I have experienced ever in my life. My cousin in the meantime was on medication for depression. There was a lot of baggage to deal with.
I was not getting any answers from anywhere. Also death is a very difficult topic to deal with not only for you but even for your friends and colleagues. People who would talk to you normally would hesitate cause they would not know how to approach you and how o talk to you. So your social scene goes for a toss.
Eventually you end up having a lot of time to think and ponder for yourself. During one of those pondering sessions I realised that when I had called my youngest Uncle (he’s a B Tech from IIT Kharagpur) to convey him the message he mentions of some astrological combination that triggered this event.
I started reading about astrology. That was how I got initiated into astrology.
My first prediction was a marriage prediction for a colleague who was taking medical help to counter depression because she was 30 and unmarred. She also was stressed about her marriage because her elder sister marriage had failed.
This person would come to office and cry. Our work desks we’re adjacent It was a very sad thing to watch. She was otherwise a very strong, intelligent and ambitious individual.
She asked me if I could predict anything regarding her marriage. I was a novice, I had never done anything like that ever before, But seeing her situation I was compelled to provide a prediction. I thought what would happen at Max – I would go wrong but at least it would help her get out of the rut she was in right now.
I predicted not only the date range (25 day timeline) but also some other specifics about the person she would get married to and her in-laws. I had told her she would get married to someone she knew from before and would belong to the same caste but different community.
All of that came true. News spread like wildfire. There was also another marriage prediction I had done for a junior colleague of mine, she was almost like my protege. She came to me for a future reading. I asked her if she was having an affair with someone, she refused initially but on little coercion she revealed she was having and affair and it was all over phone. She got married to this guy and they have a baby now and are settled in Australia.
The next thing was child birth prediction for another colleague who was being questioned by her in-laws. That came true too. I remember the day she came to give me the message -she said “Srini your prediction was absolutely correct. I am going to my manager to ask or leave, You are the 1at person I am conveying this too. Please keep this to yourself.”.
Then I got busy matching horoscopes for my marriage and I would do prediction’s for friends & colleagues.
Next major prediction was for my mother, which I undertook on request from my elder brother because we were having problems with getting a legal heir certificate from the Pune court to transfer ownership of our Pune flat from my deceased Father to my Mother. She had to travel to Pune from Blore almost once in 3–4 weeks for the court hearing which would barely last for 5 mins. She was exhausted after doing this 3–4 times
That’s when I found out that mid of 2012 was really really going to be extremely tough. My brothers and my horoscopes also showed similar signs. I never told this to my Mother. We decided to dispose the flat.
Shit did happen in the mid of 2012. My mother passed away in July 2012 after a brief illness of 2.5 months.
The next big one was for my 1st cousin results for admission into MD (Master of medicine) courses. She was a state ranker in her 12th board’s who ended up doing a MBBS at a govt medical college in Tamilnadu. It would cost her 5 lacs (non refundable deposit / tuition fees which she had to pay up to secure a seat which she would loose if she got into another medical college who’s results would be out after the due date in the 1at one) if my prediction went wrong. I got it right.
Next big thing was my job change in 2013, I negotiated hard for a raise which was almost three times the industry average.
My ex-boss from my previous employer connected with me for a prediction for his children (especially the son who was not doing well in school, he was in his 8th class I think). I told him that he will do very well after 12th and most probably become a lawyer. My ex-boss confirmed that his son was talking about that, but he was only in the 8th class. I got to now last Nov (2017 Nov) during a function of mine for which I had called him, when his wife came to me asking if there was any remedy for her son – she was like it exactly happened like what I had told her then. He had met with an freak accident in Trichy and had broken his hand. On enquiring what he was doing in Trichy I was told that he was doing his LAW at National Law School.
After getting married in 2014, I have managed to help a lot of people with my prediction s on Quora and outside including my Brother-in-law’s relocation to the USA for higher studies and my retired father-in-law’s next professional stint.
I have helped a colleagues get rid of alcoholism – his wife thanked me personally. Also managed to predict promotions, job changes etc for a lot of colleagues.
I also do a lot of research in MUNDANE ASTROLOGY, stock market prediction etc.
So yeah that’s my story, believe it or not.
God bless and godspeed
