What is unusual and PATHETIC is
when it’s considered the “hallmark” or “mukhamudra” of Malayalam and Kerala.

It’s such a shame. At least for us, the ones who feel that way.

Newspaper needs more readers to increase advertisement revenue.

So they print what the readers want.

Anything unusual ?

This one is truly secular. Once it was believed that Hindus are only interested in Jyothisham even though some others also used to. Now we are seeing lot of jyothishis, swamis, mullas and pastors promoting many types of divine poojas, talismans, dhyanams etc.etc.With the help of these ashrams and divine centres, it has become an industry (million dollar?). So Manorama has to do their bit by making jyothisham truly secular so that business is multipled by the help of minority masses too. So dosha pariharam will include visiting mosques, churches and chanting of available mantras from bible or quran etc also.

Thank you for sharing this valuable piece of enlightenment with a secular and ignorant malayali like me who never read forecasts. From now on i would start reading.

For another, I guess it is not much to ask papers publishing such ‘future prediction’ columns to include a disclaimer saying ‘These are worthless speculations and need not be true at all’.
