Hey YOU..DoN't B1OcK the BlOgGerZ

Part 1.

Initially i thought of starting a new blog for this special topic - Effect of 7 1/2 years of Saturn cycle ( 7rai naatu sanni). But I decided to stick with my current blog else it will becomeredundant and unmanageable. The main reason for me to write all the ordeal that I went through during this period is to share the challenges and obstacles and how to revive from it.I don’t feel shy to share the story, as this is true story that happened in my life and many lessons that I learned. The 7.5 years cycle has completed 2 years ago, For my raasi Rishabam the cycle started on 1997 April. A flashback….

I still remember clearly on 13th April 1997 ( one day before Tamil New Year) one man -Jothidar came to our house. The main purpose is not for astrology but to sell the Gayathri

Manthra Alarm Clock and Tulsi pot from India. While he is marketting his products he deliberately told my parents that he is can predict /explain on astrology, thus mom gave our birthdate, and time . He explained that we will be going through 7.5 years cycle of Sanni effect. He added that no matter how hard we studied , we won’t be getting Grade 1 for SPM, won’t be pursuing in Medical studies (my ambition is to become Forensic pathologist - I know this field is not any girls fav line, but it is mine), will go through a lot of struggle, Not to get married before the completion of 7.5years, will earn very bad name from relatives/friends etc etc etc and expected to fall in love and will be troubled by a boy .

I didn’t believe him at all, being science student from the ONLY science class in my school and top 10 student in the whole tingkatan, he couldn’t be much bothered with his prediction, however there is still small doubt running around my head. I studied against all the odds, being a pure science student there is more struggle need to be in place compared to rest of my friends. Among my good friends now Dr.Chitra, Kalay, Kavi there is a competition that we set to ourself. We studied and studied, I participated in Inter School debate and won till district level and manage to get my rural school in the eyes of Johor State govt. Im also nominated and won as the BEST SPEAKER. Im proud of myself to receive the scroll from District of JB. We got the third placing after we lose to English College (Maktab Sultan Abu Bakar) - the famous Royal School in JB. Not easy to compete this dragon boys !! But Im still happy because it has never happen in the school history that we won english debate to District level.  I also participated in Walkathon and got a medal for myself.  All this gives me more confidence that astrology prediction is falsified. On top of that Im school’s top History scorer.

My SPM Trial result is out… I got a Grade 1.
Finally SPM came and over. Theafter my schoolmate - boy started to develop feelings for me and has been harassing me with phone calls and worst still he send me a expensive birthday card - those days a huge card with music and lights are the most expensive cards. I remember i tore it into pieces and flush it in the toilet bowl. My mom’s strict upbringing would not be happy or keen to see all this.

The following year, SPM result is announced, I went to collect my slip… I almost fainted. I got a grade ‘2′ I missed the Agggregrade by 1 point.. Damn it !! 1 point changed my whole life upside down, I was sickly sad, horrible and thinking where I went wrong. I didn’t swallow any food for few days. Very disappointed with myself.
Remember The boy tht gave me love card, called me and irritated me that day, he got a Grade 1 and was blowing horns through his nose !!
