For all those unfamiliar with how my family just refuses to give into some harmless superstitious traditions read Dahi Shakkar before moving on.
Now let’s get some background facts straight. Saade saati is described as a period of 7 and a ½ year time period which is characterized by turmoil in one’s life be it on the personal from or professional. The victim suffers pain, distraught and general suffering. For those with a scientific bent of mind, think of it as chances of Murphy’s Law (Everything that can go wrong, will) happening is 1 i.e. absolutely certain. Why give you this information that you might already know? Because I believe that I today experienced my saade saati. Yes, one day. Don’t worry, nothing major went wrong. But a string of tiny inconvenient occurrences leads me to believe otherwise. Am I being too naïve by declaring it as a one-day saade saati? I mean, tomorrow could be worse, can’t it?
Coming back to how my family deals with it? They go to great lengths and do NOTHING! I get laughed at for suggesting that I might have actually been prey to someone’s buri nazar. Let’s be honest, I have haters. And shaking them off does not seem to be working right now, okay Ms. Taylor Swift! I am calling it buri nazar and not kaali nazar because I don’t really remember the eye colour of my haters. Is that why people say, “Keep your friends close, your enemies closer?” My family refused to analyse the convexity of my eyelashes. And no matter how hard I tried; I couldn’t figure out if the derivative of the trajectory of my eyelash was positive. So, I just assumed that it was probably because I indeed have been buri nazar-ed. Next step? Obviously getting rid of it at the earliest. Again, I faced rejection and mockery by the people who ARE SUPPOSED TO BE VERY VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY GENERAL WELL-BEING!
Left to my own resources, I obviously googled on how to proceed. Interestingly enough, the top two results were mind-boggling. Somehow, I was more intrigued by result two. See for yourself.
I mean need I say more? The second article had two parts: Giving evil eye and Perfecting giving evil eye. What do they mean PERFECTING giving evil-eye?! I think just reading it gave me buri nazar. Now I definitely have to resort to some Chhapal, Mirchi or Paani methods. Anyone who has expert knowledge in the field, please revert. I need divine help.
Also, quick question. Is it wrong to ask someone who has burnt their finger and is asking for toothpaste, if they prefer Pepsodent or Himalya?
Genuine Question guys.
