20 - 1996 - My Palm Readings,

 I need to relate something very interesting that happened in Dec 1996 here. It was not a Dream or a Premonition but a Prediction by a Palmist


I turned 50 on 10th December1996 and Mithu had organised a fantastic party and invited all members of the Acoustic fraternity I was close to (with my consent of course)

Grandest Party at home attended by over 150 guests family and friends. She had organised even a Belly Dancer to shock me and my best friend Billu Singh did the catering. 

Awesome night and I was grinning from ear to ear and looking like Steve Jobs too but not as many zeros in my bank account but that did not matter.


It was well past midnight and most of the guests and family had left bar a few close friends. Sujatha came and sat down next to me and said "Ramda can I read your Palm and see what the future holds for you?"

Not that I believed in palmistry but I obliged to keep Sujata happy. She started to look at my palm and I noticed the smile on her face slowly faded away and she looked closer at the palm and looked even more disturbed. Next she asked to see Mithu's palm. Bluffed me that her palm had a big influence on my future too. She seemed extremely happy seeing Mithu's hand and then started to talk.

Mithudi you are the one with money between the two of you and you will always have enough. Ramda I am shocked to say I have never seen a hand like yours ever. 

You do not have any Wealth or Money Line whatever you call it and I just cannot explain it as I am not an expert palmist.

I told her she was not going to ruin my party plus I do not believe in all this Bullshit Palmistry and Astrology etc. 

Why would someone say this on my special BDay?

I told Mithu don't worry about this BS as I was earning good money and on an absolute high having won so many major contracts for Noise Control including the Sydney Harbour Tunnel and my Business was booming.

Exactly four years later at age 54 in year 2000 my life changed totally reducing me to a vegetable and Sujatha's prediction came True.

I have not earned one Cent since 13th April 2000 but I am not short of money either and Mithu took over like a champion earning and putting food on the table and I was able to dig into my savings and superannuation and our life style if anything has gone up and better than we had before year 2000.

The Only thing that has gone backward is my Health and my personal Bank Balance.

Remember this is my Second Innings and I am not Complaining about anything whatsoever.

The Chaltahai Attitiude helps.

Come what may Life Goes on

My Palm Reading - Whatsapp Exchange with a Good Mate on 18th Nov 2020

Whatsapp Exchange with a Good Mate on18th Nov 2020

Friend: Ram,both your forwards on Katherene Hepburn and Danzig were inspirational.  You are yourself an inspiration

Me: Tell me what is Inspiring about me ? People around me think I am a shit stirrer.  Anyway thank you for your kind words. Blood thinners prescribed Post Brain Stem Stroke irrigated my Brain more and made it Hyperactive the last 20 years and 7 months. and here is a Record of all I have done last 20 years. 

https://rambosblogs.blogspot.com/

Friend: what is inspiring about you?  the fact that you have braved insurmountable odds in health and yet have a zest for life.  A tireless fighter, a crusader for right causes, an organizer par excellence, an utterly practical person, a good friend and a noble man.

Me: All this as I have a damaged brain and died once before. This is my second innings. When I turned 50 in 1996, Mithu organised a grand party of 150 guests who were my work linked friends consultants contractors clients etc. One of the guests a lady Bengali family friend and Director of Westpac Bank said "Ramda can I read your Palm?". Having downed a few scotches that night I said why not. This was around 2.00am when the party was over and all guests had left but she stayed for reasons unknown, to take a look at my palm. 

She studied my right hand again and again and said "I have never seen anything like this before". "Ramda I have bad news for you". You have no money in your hand. Zero. All the money is in Mithudi's hands. I said is that so. Sounds wonderful. 

In 1996, I was the managing director of ENCO (Environmental Noise Control Pty Ltd.) and my annual take away was $250K. She said "I hope I am wrong Ramda" and left the house with her husband and Mithu said "did she have to say this to you on your 50th B Day at your special party ?? ". 

We have not seen this Bengali Friend since. Why she did what she did not even she knows.

Thinking back she was just a messenger who was sent to forewarn me, of what lay ahead. Virtually everyone we meet in this life, we meet for a Reason and a Season. Very few travel the full distance of your journey as they have their own to navigate.

In 1997, my business partner withdrew $100K from the company without my knowledge in  connivance with the accountant. So I picked up my bag and walked and lost over $500k worth in my own company ENCO; resigned a few days later. 

A month later in June 1997, I had to start Noise Control Australia Pty Ltd with two other partners. This meant taking minimum wages of $50K to start with. In two years time by Dec 1999, I was earning $200K Plus and then the Sydney Olympics came and I was over the moon as we won heaps of  contracts for the Olympics Projects, which Included the Acer Arena and the Olympic Stadium, Fox Studios and Citi Bank Tower and Prince Alfred Hospital New Wing Extension. 

13th April 2000 the lights went out. I went to bed feeling tired and I woke up paralysed on my left side. My Left Leg was a Stump, I could move my right hand but could not control it meaning I could not touch my nose. The right side of my face was burning as if it was inside and oven. I had double vision and could not swallow even my saliva without choking and could not speak. My Autonomous System had been compromised. It was "Thy Kingdom Come. Amen" especially when I heard the neurologist telling each other "This is a Text Book Case" ( meaning no one ever survived to tell the tale)

Believe it or not; I have not earned one cent since that day. Fortunately I had insured myself heavily for TPD which is "Total and Permanent Disability and Income POrotection Insurance totalling over a million dollars.  

I formed another Company NoDesCo for designing and patenting my Innovations in 2007. Was all excited and spent a good lot of money as I was going to design the best Sleep Apnea Mask in the World. It was a hard passionate slog that kept me engaged only to find out in the end the "Patenting Process is for MNC's to block independent Souls from succeeding" . If you remember and have the time, remember to watch a movie called "The Flash of Genius" My Patent Lawyer told me it would cost me as much as Aud$350K to get the patent covering some most important countries. Not Global any way and without an FDA approval it was not worth a cent as it was a medical interface. so in 2016 I liquidated NoDesco.

People say astrology in Bunkum. How do you explain this palm reading ?

Friend: all bad days are over.  have peace and calm life here onwards. 

Me: Astrologers tell me my Sani Desa is over and I have Sukra Desa. Another friend told me not to get too excited as Sukra Desa means wealth might flow but health will be bad. 

Very True and I am in very bad health especially in 2020

Friend: bad health again?  good news is 2020 is ending.  As they say தை பிறந்தால் வழி பிறக்கும்.  where do you have your astrologer, in oz or Chennai?  if chennai let me know

Me: My very last astrologer who predicted my future was none other that our own VGK. He said, I was lucky as death was on the cards in 2000. He did all this in 2002. that was 18 years ago. I have not seen any one since
