Linda Goodman's Sun signs !! (Blog Marathon post no. 9)

-
I think I was around 13 or so when I heard about sun signs, to be more specific I heard about Linda Goodman first and sun sign later.  So it was the in thing to say ‘oh she is a Scorpio that is why she is so secretive’ blah ..blah and to be honest I had no idea what my friends were talking about, or how they could predict somebody’s sun sign just by observing their temperament. 

Well, that is when I came to know about 'Linda Goodman’s Sun signs',  It opened a whole new world, I started seeing my friends as not Reena or Mohna but as 'Pisces' and 'Gemini', also,  I started fretting over the fact that in spite of being a Virgo, I was not a cleanliness freak!! finally  I came to the conclusion that it is all because I was in the cusp of Leo and Virgo!!

For me and my friends at that time,‘Linda Goodman’s sun signs’ became our Bible for referring to all our queries about friends, relatives, relationships and relationships going haywire!! We used to make groups and sit and read the book together and discuss and argue over what is right and what is wrong about X as per his/ her sun sign.  Even today it comes naturally to me to secretly make small mental notes about a person when I come to know about his or her sun sign ;)


What about you? Have you read this book, and do you think that our relatives or friends behave in a certain way due to their sun sign?? Do you believe in sun signs at all?

    Hey Rekha, yes Linda Goodman used to be my behavioural guru too until I got married. I would say I was almost obsessed with her and her views on sun signs. That was one book I had referred to so much that it had dogs years and the front pages were literally torn. I must have referred to it so often that my hubby dear threw that book away ( he still hasn't disclosed what he did with that book) and I still mourn the loss of that particular book. ha ha ha

Nature - My childhood friend

This is not a work of fiction, but it seems so, even to me who is the one who has experienced it all.  My memory of all that is being written here seems to have happened in some other life time, but all of it happened when I was 4 or 5 years old, but still the pictures are so vivid and so real in my mind like I am watching a techni colour HD movie or as if I am still there when I am writing it all down.  I say it is not fiction because of the tremendous  nature’s bounty and beauty and companionship that I experienced at that time  seems so unreal even to me. Let me start with the morning, yes, so the morning started with me the 5 year old running from bed straight to the verandah and sitting on the steps of the verandah (of my house which was in a small town of Kerala), the steps leading to the courtyard, it looking all clean  with fresh marks of broom which looked like half circles made over and over again on the brown earth. Sitting on the steps I l...
