horrorscopes


horrorscopes... predict everything (bhoot -bhavishyat -varatamaan..) are one of those favourites for elders and youngsters too.

i have been facing this horror since my birth and now as 'woman about to get married', its been a boon and a bane for me in many ways.
when am not liked, the guy's mother/father informs my dad that horoscopes dint match while my dad gets it checked and the pundit says they did match...hahaha...such a lame excuse..

when guy and myself like each other..these horoscopes do come as nightmares..
i still wonder about those silly astronomical things far above the sky who dictate our lives..arey yar..maine telescope say bhi unhe kabhi nahi dekha...tho yeh budh grah aur shukr grah kaha se aagaye mere zindagi mein? (or why dont some astronimcal scientist sue those kundli makers for misusing and misinterpreting the celestial bodies?)

yeahh another thing is being manglik ..manglik people want to get married to only mangliks...if it is a manglik girl..she can marry a tree, donkey or a monkey and then the non manglik boy! you might be knowing that technically abhishek is aishwarya's third husband...she was married to some neem tree then some ferns or crotons or some animal and then to abhishek...whooa...tho abhi abhishek ko kuch nahi hoga? (PETA people sleep at this hour....zzzzzzzz)

and then the gotras...people from same gotra are considered siblings...now yeh kaheka funda hai...you dont even know the traces of the boy ...you meet him somewhere across the globe..you like him...then you realise he is supposed to be your brother and you can not marry him! coz you have the same gotras...i need a breaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk (rakshabandhan should be celebrated with them also)

then the gun (gana)-atleast 23 of them should match for the boy and girl...arey yar...kundli milaake kitne log pyar karte hai....(imagine people carrying their kundlis in their wallets and handbags and ask...hey dude whats your kundli?)
i think people who run programmes across the world need to understand that compatibility is also a major thing!

i know horoscopes are essential...but not to an extent that you miss on a nice person or a family in this stupid process....let it be just horoscope...not a horrorscope to buy/get married to nightmares in life!

Dear SWAT people like you and me are exceptions. The rule is most believe in this superstition(science) called astrology.These astro- nuts can not explain why and how some couple get killed in a vehicle accident while going to or returning from marriage fixed on auspicious muhurat.Manglik dosha is corrected by chanting Mangal japa for 4 lakhs times?The pseudo priest performs it for a lavish price! Same Gotra ? I know at least three very happy couple who did not care for this objection.I too don`t have any objection for this same Gotra nonsense . But women in the family are decision makers. Their word prevails.MY prayers are for YOU. GOOD LUCK.

SWATS you and I are perplexed at these astrologers who make money by cheating. Most people believe in them . An average Indian lacs scientific temperment

Horoscopes do matter ,horoscopes doesnt matter........contradictory...but yes it is ,you love someone and if you have real such strong feelings towards someone ,no matter what the horoscopes might be ,you will be happy with them......what matters more are love and affection between the couple.
In Hindu dharma every bad thing (like being manglik etc) has got some vidhi to be done to nullify its effect ,so its all more in your belief and if you believe strongly on something (guess your parents do) any small thing that happens will seem to be due to the horoscopes mismatch.

its hard to find someone whom you like,so when you find someone as such and the feelings are reciprocal ,just go with it.

all the best

Hey Swat! Even I'm going through all this. We don't believe in kundlis and all.. but the stupid people first ask for Kundlis... Really, sometimes I feel soo pissed off that I feel is there any guy left for me?

Anyways, don't feel bad... You'll get the best :)

I don't even think that horoscopes are essential.. But really, there's no escape from these with everyone around thinking otherwise.. Got bitten by these things..

I think believing in these things is not believing in ourselves.. Or the lack of will to face the consequences to our acts.. It's always easy to blame something else than ourselves..

The minimum score for a match in gana is 18 swathi not 23 ,23 is considered a real good score 18 is exactly 50 % of the total 36........as i said earlier ,if you really like and are comfortable with someone and the feelings are reciprocal just give a damn to these things.

good luck

I believe "Love" at different stages of life transforms itself into various forms. Probably at an early stage if you had found someone worthy, you should have been settled by now.That stage, there is insanity, admiration, thrill - and LOVE.For this looks do matter, where you score very poor.Then after at a stage of about 25+ all you do, is less of LOVE and more of CALCULATION.
People calculate their profits in the relationship - and so in an arranged marriage setup - Horoscopes come as template of this calculation. Unfortunately, looks like you score poor here also.
So overall, your poor track record should not be blamed on a HORRORSCOPE. btw, in case you are intrested, for every Dosha in Astrology, there are feasible remedies, and above all the best one is DISCIPLINE. Be yourself, have faith in god, and ALWAYS - expect you Character to support your Marriage. It is for you to do a introspection - Do you really call yourself the Ethical, Innocent, Perfect girl that GOOD guys like to Admire ?
I am not here to judge that question. Just my 2 cents, think about it.

I say bribe the pundits..!! End of problems :) A very socially relevant post I must say. What I am offering through this comment is not a very socially acceptable solution though :)
