The most irritating field of study in the world is "astrology".Hairy freaks with long beard hold your future and all you can do is do as they tell you to.Let me tell you a story about a guy called Raghu.His parents believed more in astrology than on him.They often went to Babas(astrologers) asking them about their child's future.
As Raghu grew old and came in class 12th his parents anxiety reached cloud nine.They went to many babas and spent a lot of money as they wanted their son to be nothing less than an IITian."Baba ji,humara beta IIT clear toh kar lega naa?" asked Govind (Raghu's dad)."Mushkil hai.Abhi uske shani ki antardasha chal rahi hai.Rahu aathve ghar me baitha hai(wahan baith kar IPL dekh rha hai).Mangal bhi bhaari hai.Shukra,Budh aur Ketu ek seedh me aa gaye(koi side dene ko tayyar nahi) hai jo khatre ka sanket hai.Ladke ka padhai me mann nahi lag raha hai aur IITJEE asambhav dikhai padh rahi hai" replies baba confidently."Nahiiiiiiiiiiii" screams Radha(Raghu's mom)."Baba koi upaay batayen." stammered Govind (His voice was shaking and he was more nervous than Tendulkar and entire India when he is in his nineties)."Ek upaay hai.Agar aapka beta roz subah papite(Papaya) ke halve ko kaale kutte(doggy) ko daan kare,ek taang par khade ho kar Mahamrityunjay mantra ka jaap kare(500 baar roz) aur har amavasya(no moon) aur padve(first day after no moon or full moon) ko vrat kare aur ek bhi daana ann aur paani ka naa len to IIT sambhav hai.Dhyaan rahe ye saari kriyayen use khud hi karni padhegi"."Dhanya HOOOOOO maharaj.Hum uss se aisa hi karvayenge" replied Govind with great sigh of relief.
Now Raghu who was brilliant student and had scored 93% in class 11th had to do all the rituals prescribed by the Baba.Time passed by and now only 1 week was remaining for JEE.Raghu's parents had been shifted to Rehab and he was left alone with his books and prescriptions.
2 days before JEE his father called and reminded him of vrat of Amavasya and padva which had come together.Now Raghu can't eat and drink 1 day before and on the day of JEE.After a good night sleep Raghu went to perform his daily rituals.He made Papite ka halwa and searched for the black dog.The dog wasn't aggressive but the taste of papite ka halva had adverse effect on him.Poor Raghu, got bitten on his buttocks and also recieved injection on the same area.Now he couldn't sit on the chair.With grit determination Raghu stood up on 1 leg and started murmuring the mantra.He managed it with success but now he couldn't straighten his one leg.
Now with great preparation but paining buttocks and empty stomach Raghu gave his exam standing on one leg.The exam wasnt all that bad and he managed to clear the exam with Air-800.
His parents were overjoyed and got discharged from rehab.Their faith in baba grew manifolds and now they were relied on baba for their every action.
Raghu,now a well renowned astronomer tried to study the effect on saturn's path when a black dog is fed with papite ka halva.He also studied the effect of chants and fasts on Mars.He couldn't observe any change and blamed it on the Telescope.
There are lots of conclusions to be drawn here.......I leave them all to you....Just think over it....How many of us read the daily horoscope and try to justify it ....
