And so it succeeded in conquering me! The Flu! I tried the so called tactic of ‘mind power’ to prevent it however it invaded the wall of my sheer will power like the Trojan – cunningly.
The day moved on with me visiting the doctor , the pharmacy and later settling down on the couch with Linda Goodman’s ‘Sun Signs’. Why the interest in that particular book when the virus was torturing my nasal and respiratory passages? Its simple, I suddenly found myself interested in reading about the different sun signs and how according to Goodman, the male and female version of the same sun signs can be different from each other.
I did not read the whole thing but which ever part I read, I tried relating the characteristics described for each sun sign to the people I knew under the same sign.
The Taurean rage of the bull especially for men – my dad ; the Libran charm and how their smile can melt anyone especially women – well what came to my mind was a friend I knew, my teenage crush , my brother and …oh yeah amitab bachan – err. His smile…was it enchanting? I sometimes do speak as if he – Big B were my uncle.
The Taurean lady is described as a ‘tall lady’ though many of them I know are short but then as I read I realised that the ‘tall’ meant as in emotionally strong! Yup, I agree with that too. Leo – likes to be treated as royalty and demands to be the centre of attraction – snobs! Scorpio – ruled by Hades, the god of the underworld, due to which they seem to be like these dark characters as in when I think of a Scorpio, it reminds me of dungeons! And the Virgos – cleanliness freaks and people who can get a nervous breakdown due to their tendency to fuss and worry over minute details!!
My health doesn’t permit me to write more and in humour of what I read however I am going to read that book again some other time and write a post on that soon.
Till then
Cheerio
