Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Dear Prashant Every idea is like a baby " easy to concieve " but " difficult to deliver " . Being a jupiter , i shouldnot be talking about analysis, but what to do, mercury is the strongest planet for me, and he is badhaka too. Badhakesh helps me to grow, dive into the waters, the never eneding waters of pisces i should say., One day, i will try to analyse and interpret the vratas, soul, and whatever you have mentioned with concrete proof. This i take as a mission " impossible?
