The Palmist
The Palmist, Mumbai

As the economy booms, and education booms, and other influences bounce into India, one would think that stuff like palmistry would take a back seat….. but no…. From the K serials, to people adding extra alphabets to their names, to vastu consultants for TV shows, and general belief in magic yantras, and divine dust, and other rituals… ‘traditional’ methods of telling the future is back in vogue. Adding to the Indian line up of palmistry, naadishastra and astrology - are added Tarot , Aura reading and face reading…. oh btw… Tantrics seem to be back in fashion … people are complaining about going to a pujari to do a havan that would take out a hex put by a tantric…..

I know!! We Indians are experiencing a peculiar mix of modernization and tradition!! Just the other day I visited a hi-fi mall in Pune, and guess what!! They had a palmist sitting right in the middle of their over-the-top ethnic womens’-wear section!! Lollzz!!
