RRji,
I don't think I'm being a guinea pig here

. I've read your several articles and on boloji.com and posts in this forum with great interest. So if my birth data can help in your research I'm all for it. Off late Jyotish has been intriguing me and Im fasicnated by this great science along with other classical Indian sciences like Ayurveda and Yoga.
Yes birth time for most people seems to be always "rounded-off"

. A lot of Jyotishs these days offer "birth time correction" possibly by studying the major events in their lives like marriage,accidents etc. Obviously one has to go by the information given by parents or others present during birth. My source of information is my mother who got the information from the hospital staff.
I wanted to get my daughter's birth time by the exact minute and it turned out to be 8.36 AM !
Here is a brief history of my life events.If you feel my birth time needs correction please feel free to do so and let me know.
Childhood: Normal , carefree, studious. Good academic record.
Teenage : Fantastic academic record. Troubled relationship with father.
1992 - 1996 ( 18 - 22 ): Engineering degree. Below average academic record. Not very high scores.
1997 - 1999 : Worked in India. Good career.
1999 (25 years ): Moved to USA.
2002 (28 years ): Got married. Marriage did not work at all because of the weird/cruel nature of the girl. Depressed ,reclused and disinterested in life
