Excellent call sir!
I hope you are giving 9/10ths to *there* and 1/10ths to here?
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas! Not sure if you celebrate Christmas or not but like I mentioned here and elsewhere, I was raised in my early years when I looked to the east -- I saw a White Church (literally painted white!) and my schools were all placed to my east too. Interestingly-- my final educational destination in that small Indian city was right across from my school, so it was WEST to my school, my early education!
All I learned in EAST, strangely I am having to express in the WEST (since 1980) and if it was my Karma, then I am doing such a poor job, such a poor job!! All this time ...

Hi Dada,
I am good and quite emotionally charged in Toronto at present. One of my routine visits, but aso fulfilling my duty towards the board with the little time that I can juggle. Your posts as usual charge my thoughts with food for thought even when oocupied.
Will be able to give more meanigful time when I will be back to India, which I am waiting for and yet not.
You must be enjoying in Arizona I presume,Sir, but still carry on charging our thoughts.... and yet attract ...little bit...critisizm. Enjoy life and ek hi jivan hai. The soul could live on... but not us.

Quite a few friends, and many of these from different generations as these go (boomers, X, Y and Z or whatever else is used by Sociologists to classify and categorize us human beings!) have wondered silently and vocally (generally privately) as to why I even butt heads so often with these so called "critics" and in some cases really insecure people who are abusive. The kind that are associated with the phenomenon of "Road Rage" in Americas and probably in other developed and developing countries as well. I see that differently
I think most people on internet, at least on forums that deal with spirituality, astrology, divination, etc are rather nice inherently. They are! Many of these have significant accomplishments in life in other fields if they were to share their private lives openly. However, some of them are stressed, somewhat insecure because of the way their surroundings may be, at work, home or through diseases - their own or of people around them or other such stressors. So at times their demeanour is a bit curt, a bit terse, a bit irritated, frustrated and judgmental. That is okay! I bet if any of these people we actually met and even as strangers if we were in trouble, they would in most cases reach out and help us! I seriously believe that! Hence I do not feel insulted by their words or questions but when accosted, as probably I have built-up a record for
I take that as an opportunity for defocusing on the words and superficia and to try and see the soul behind all that crap (pardon my language!).
I have been misjudged for my reasons to give free readings, to give free technical advice and somewhat justifiably for questioning and even insulting the status quo, and for rocking the boat of tranquil laissez faire, or even challenging frank laziness at times and then getting the backlash.
Why do I do all this? I am not a professional astrologer whose livelihood depends on astrology, I am not aspiring to become one or have my astrological TV show! I am just in love with astrology and all that is associated with it. I truly am!
I am also very fortunate, extremely so in terms of astrology. For a long time I used to think that people are generally nice and just tolerating my writings and postings and thoughts and it bothered me. Then over a long period of time it became obvious to me how fortunate I am even if I am not fortunate in the worldly sense.
With the realization of all that, came the dedication and passion and the ability to be able to look beyond the words and insults and at times obvious jealousy that prompted such attacks on me and my thoughts, all of which was unnecessary and in some cases simply petty.
I do not scheme and create posts that sound mystical or mysterious as I have been accused of. I do not set out to insult or question or offend people. I just write what flows out of the heart, the soul. I am just being grateful and thankful for being so fortunate when it comes to astrology or writing about astrology, and friends who though strangers to me in worldly reality just seem to appear in my life and support where that is needed and admonish when that is the need felt by them. To both I am thankful and grateful...

PS: I hear that a big snow storm is heading towards ontario tomorrow. Take care and stay safe and warm! The aim is to feel the fury of nature while staying with it and not to oppose it (Like trying to be Ma Kali's child, clinging to her bosom while She continues to slay all those monsters and dragons and yet at the same time making sure that Her babies remain protected, clean and well-fed!)
