HORO(R)SCOPE

This one old crumpled piece of paper has been playing a huge role in one of the most important events life- marriage. It comes into play whether you are for or against the belief. The ones who try to believe they are rationalists and don't believe in them are more likely to be on the wrong side of thirties by the time they compromise. As you don't get the parents of your probable life partners,so rational. As it boils down to the life of their beloved kids , they don't want to do anything that does not go down well with the 'stars'.There are some instances where proposals are rejected because certain stars and planetary positions don't go down well with the prospective in laws.

And what they don't realize or mind is the fact that it narrows down the options most of the times to single digit. I feel its funny that you have to choose from the narrowed list that has been arrived at without the use of eyes / mind of the prospective life partners. It ceases to be a thing of the heart.You might like a girl and prefer her to be your partner but if the stars don't will it is not going to be accepted.

One thing that amuses me is that how they have decided marriages with matched horoscopes are better than the ones that occur without their involvement.I don't think there are any case control/cohort studies to prove /disprove that.And another interesting thing is the number of marriage that run into rough weather. Anyway whatever i feel i think i too have to use my horoscope that really narrows the scope for the search of your partner, as without it there seems to be no hope of marriage.

You would call it the 'HORRORSCOPE" then?

And yes, feel the same about the issue!

Yep, it seems and sounds more like a Horo(r)scope! There sure is some sense and truth, given that it is a science(Astrological) at the EOD. Unfortunate, that even in this day and age a vast majority of Indian Society still go COMPLETELY by the horoscope. There are umpteen such marriages that have not worked and vice-versa, it is DESTINY at the EOD, I believe. How do you know which astrologer to trust, of them all?
