Malefic Saturn in your zodiac sign

Of malefic Saturn and the costs involved. On June 30 / July 01 Venus and Saturn presented a rare celestial phenomenon in the western skies when both the planets appeared less than one degree apart. It was visual treat of a rare type. This event happened just thirteen days after another spectacular one had taken place involving Moon and Venus with the latter momentarily and partly hiding behind the former. In scientific parlance this is termed occultation. People watched the occultation either out of curiosity and fun or for the sake of gaining some knowledge about orbits and movements of heavenly bodies. These as well as other such events are part of completely natural phenomena which could be precisely calculated and predicted. Nothing abnormal or supernatural about it. However, in India some people have entirely different versions of the events. Majority of the population would like to perceive and interpret such events religiously. They view such happenings in astrological terms whe...

A Visit to Bihar

The Gole Ghar, Patna Bihar – the cradle of Indian civilization [Bihar is a rich state with some of the poorest people living in it. It is rich in fertile land, plenty of water, and hardworking people. This is the state which each year lands more IAS and IIT seats. Also this is the state where ugly caste politics has dragged its people down into poverty.] A visit to the state of Bihar has been on my bucket list for quite some time. Earlier in Feb 2020 I made a short trip to Kaimur district of Bihar hoping to take another journey soon. Then corona struck and all my travel plans went haywire. Nalanda - the ruined university Exactly a year after, I mustered courage and embarked upon my journey, this time to the western state of Gujarat followed by a trip to the North East in March. Then came the second wave and once again we were confined to our homes. However, with the second corona wave came the vaccination drive too. After taking two jabs and emboldened by the ebbing wave ...

Thar Desert, Rajasthan.

A couple of days in Thar desert The Thar is a vast chunk of an arid and sandy landscape in India located mainly in the western state of Rajasthan (it spreads across into the neighbouring state of Gujarat too). Part of the desert also lies across the border in Pakistan. Area wise the expanse of the desert is about 200000 SqKm with 85% in India and the remaining 15% in Pakistan. Also called the Great Indian Desert, it is a vivid tourist attraction from all over the world. A majority of tourists throng the desert to see the sand dunes and ride a camel. Their quest ends mostly with a trip to the Sam sand dunes. However, from a tourist perspective, there is much more sand elsewhere than the Sam sand dunes. Some good tour operators can be found in Jaisalmer – the base town to take a desert safari. We were a group of 7 tourists to take a two-day desert safari. It was in the second week of December this year when the state was under a spell of poll fever and decreasing ...
