By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

I overhead a lecture on the television today telling about how big a sin believing in astrology is. It has been defined as Kufr in Islam. In a way it is equivalent of disbelieving Allah because it is Allah who guides everything and people end up believing in stars. Reading this kind of content even for fun is a sinful act. Apparently I remember reading somewhere that our duas for 40 days don't get accepted even if we happen to read about what our future could be. It's impossible at times to explain things enough.

I finally had a full dinner sitting with my parents today. It was definitely after a long time that such a dinning occurred though it was in the drawing room using the center-table. My mother had cooked fish's curry and even fried fish letting us have a sumptuous meal for the night. I thought of having some good tea with my father but hotels these days are closing down soon. The police in Hyderabad declares it openly that they can't handle shops and restaurants being open in the city till late night and so it's better to close them down early. But yes of course, they take bribes from all the hotels weekly.

Today we were given our offer-letters by Infosys. It was not a wait for me but definitely a sense of relief when I held that packet with my name visible through the transparent plastic label on it. My parents were happy seeing it and asked me for a party. I still hope it was in my capacity to treat them just because they asked. In fact would call a party daily and try to be the best host ever! This is all never a remote possibility if Allah wills.
