Note – The lines of your hand only predict the probable future you will have. By working on your present you can change them. Yes its true!

About the author – The author himself does not believe in numerology although surprisingly ALL of his deductions are correct most of the times, so he’s still in doubt whether he should believe in numbers or not. Actually he has two apprehensions:-

1. Either he makes too general statements.

2. OR it’s the people who over-relate things.

How it all started?  This started as an accident. I was searching for something to read in my summer vacations of class 8. I need something to read every now and then… and I can read anything. So, when I was brushing off the dust through a pile of old collections in the small, little library we have at home, my eyes fell on two very old copies of Cheiro.

One was Cheiro’s book of numbers and the other Cheiro’s language of the hand. I read through both of them and sort of imbibed them by heart at first read. When you are interested in something it happens! Happy with the new found wisdom of palmistry and numerology I returned back to school with a halo over my head. 😀

Within no time I became a sort of baba at school, fortune telling for free. The truth was, I really liked holding the hands of over-eager girls who would be over-curious to know their future. Seeing their lips part in amazement…sometimes biting it with their teeth…I enjoyed the attention I got. It was very new for me. Being those shy sorts, I had never been popular among girls. My male friends on the other hand were so jealous. They thought I was making a fool of them; playing with their superstitions. But honestly, I told them whatever I had read. I never told them a lie.

The news spread and girls from other sections crowded around me in the lunch break ‘with their hands’ and I accepted each one, at a time, according to my own discretion. Some waiting for their turn…some discussing how bright a future they had…they stretched out their palms towards me, like children demanding candy. I liked resting their hands on my palm, tracing those lines of luck, heart and life. Their eyes would twinkle, their mouths agape when I told them about stars, islands and Solomon’s ring. Softly and silently and patiently I augured their probable future. But after a week or so, things turned mawkish. I would hear ‘kya bta dia uss ladki ko tune…wo to muh latka ke baithi hui hai 2 din se’.

And it had a saddening effect on me too. I felt that I was responsible for making her ( or anyone) sad. So, I stopped examining hands and switched to numerology. But my patrons had lost their interest by this time…and so had I. After all, I had had enough of foretelling and foreseeing.

I am a fanatic when it comes to numbers so that wasn’t the end of numerology although I was fast losing interest in palmistry. There were 2 reasons for that.

1. Girls in class 9 suddenly mature into adolescents whereas boys like me are still fighting over ‘jenga cards’ (we used to get it free inside Uncle Chips)…I still have them…and don’t give them away. I know how I have earned them!

2. My English teacher spotted me more than once, holding hands of another girl, in her class. She was so furious! I was a good boy in her books and wanted to maintain it. I still can’t forget the look in her eyes. It was threatening, to say the least.

The interest in numerology revived in 2^nd year of college when I came across some well known articles on the same. I began taking notes, started comparing interpretations, jotted down the common points and points of contradiction. I read extensively about my number ‘3’…which surprisingly is the number of extremes and the worst number to possess. People with number 3 have bipolar disorder and frequent mood swings. The degree varies from individual to individual. They can be very nice and very mean at the same time.

Then I read about the family of 3 and its interactions in the family (which includes the numbers 3, 6 and 9). Then I went on to study the magical number, number 7. I read about how powerful a number it is. I delved into all the references and spun a world of numbers around me. I absorbed birthdays, anniversaries instinctively. Calculated totals, deciphered them. But all this while kept the results to me alone. I wanted to be absolutely sure of this science before I made it public.

I can go on and talk about all the numbers and give a discourse on them. But for want of space and time won’t continue. Still if anyone is hell bent on knowing their ‘probable future’ feel free to text/mail/comment/call and you will be entertained.

At the risk of sounding cliché, I would still re-iterate…

The fate is always in your hands and you can well change it in any direction you like, anytime! We only tell you what you’ll be having in the future from the things you have at hand. It’s more like showing you the projected score of an innings from the current run rate, simple. 🙂
