My Palm Reading
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. Any way 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 protection insurance totalling over a million dollars. I formed another Company NoDesCo for designing and patenting my Innovations. 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. Ranga
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
