“Start no new project on a Tuesday”, used to say my ophthalmologist-boss in 1970’s. “Don’t get your hair-cut done on a Thursday”, says my wife. “Don’t embark on a journey”, says my mother-in-law. “Don’t dare wear a neelam”, cautioned a friend in 1960’s. “He won’t study for more than the 3rd standard”, an astrologer told my pitaji when I was a child. “You won’t visit an overseas country”, forecasted someone long long ago. Diwali and New Year greeting cards are received every year from a relative only after formal celebrations are over. Truly strange are the ways of life! (Picture shows me with wife Sheela at an optical show-room in Tokyo in 2005).
