Yesterday an incident happened, which left me wondering. I want to share it with my ilander friends.

Hopefully, they might give a new dimension to my perception of the situation.

So, here it goes………..

His phone was switched off. I tried the whole day but response was the same. At last, I dialed his friend’s number and left the message for him. He called me in the evening. After the regular “Haal-chaal”, he told me the reason for his mobile phone being switched off.

According to him, there is some “Shani ka Chakkar” with his chargers. He traced the events since last one year. His laptop charger was lost. He got another one, which broke down; he repaired it using M-seal but it lasted only for some days. He got another charger. Same story goes for his mobile chargers. Either they get lost, or he forgets it somewhere, or they stop working.

Now he believes that there is some astrological problem between him and his chargers. He wants to consult some astrologer regarding the same.

Let me introduce him, he is an engineer, an IT professional, working in big multinational since last two years. He specializes in SAP technology and has worked on many projects nationally as well as internationally.

This indicates that, the younger and so called modern generation thinks this way, believing in stupid superstitions and connecting the general incidences of life in a weird manner.

I hope I am wrong!
