There is numerology, astrology, Palmistry, etc. There are a lot of people who live with palmistry. Even though I don't believe in these things, once I showed my hand to a old lady at Marine drive, Cochin who was ready to read my fate through my hands. This happened about 3 years back.
She looked at my hands and told a lot of things. I paid her the fees for the palmistry. I was very happy to give the money because, there were a lot of people with me from my family. She was not telling anything, she was really boasting about me for 5 minutes looking at my hand in front of my family members. They were amazed hearing all these. Only a few people say good about me. That was the first time we were seeing her, and she told a lot of good things about me and that too in front of my family members. What else should I need for the day??
Finally she told a thing that I will sign a government paper in 6 months. As I was in search of a job I was very happy, but I didn't believe. And as my parents were compelling me to try for a govt job they were also very happy to hear that.
From the very next day, my mom and dad started compelling to apply for the PSC exams and bank tests. I know that I could not get these bank jobs as there were lakhs of people attending for the exam for a very few vacancies. But my parents scolded me and compelled me to apply for the tests. They told that they were happy to give the fees for the tests. I was very sad that the money was actually getting wasted.
On that weekend I went for a movie with my dad, mom and my brother. When I came back after the interval, my mom said that she wants to tell me something seriously after the movie. After the movie she said that she saw an advertisement of an institution, which gives training for bank tests. Oh my God, my heart beat suddenly raised and was waiting for my dad's reply. As expected, dad also told me to join the institution. Finally without interest I was made joined by the restless sound by my parents at home. The classes were in the morning at 7am. My good sleep came to an end there.
Finally all the tests were done. I was waiting for the result. When i was coming back to home, police was showing hands from a long distance to stop my bike for not wearing the helmet. Before reaching them there was a right turn, I took right and there too was 2 policemen waiting for riders without helmet. I stopped my bike. They fined me a sum of Rs. 100/-. Usually we can pay and go. But on that day there was a mobile court too. Police man filled a form and told me to sign it. That was the paper from mobile court which i signed. Then I entered the mobile court and paid the money and went back home. I was checking the calendar what the stupid day that was. Finally the words of the old woman came to my mind, that I will sign a government paper in 6 months. That day was 2 days before the completion of 6 months. I closed my eyes, and took a long breath. All the bad words for the lady were waiting at my tongue.
I told my parents about signing the government paper. My parents were silent at that time, and I was making restless noise and my parents were hearing me all the evening.
My 6 months of tough time came to an end. ;)
Thank God,
