Stars favour India, tarot cards don't



Astrologers and number crunchers forecast an India win today, but tarot readers dispute. Sachin may just go on to score his 100th ton

While a billion Indians hang on their seats' edges, praying for the home team to beat Pakistan today to enter the World Cup finals, MiD DAY did what many are secretly itching to, but few have. We called up fortunetellers. And asked them questions the answers to which will be obvious by tonight.


According to these latter-day prophets, India is tipped to win the semis and, what do you know, would go ahead to win the finals as well! And the Master Blaster may just score his hundredth hundred.

3+3 equals win

The reason numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi has for claiming India to win the semi-finals is the digit '3'. The number of India, when aggregated, adds up to three, a lucky number associated with planet Jupiter, which symbolises power and victory.

The number of the Mohali stadium is three. The Punjab Cricket Association's number is three. The date on which the game is being played is three. Somehow, this profusion of threes has lined itself up to favour India. Thus the victory.

Picture imperfect

But the mystic picture-card decks of tarot reader Sushila Golani augur an adverse fortune for the nation. Her cards say Pakistan will take the cake. "The cards are favouring Pakistan, and India will lose the match," she said. But before you begin losing heart and spirit, this soothsayer's avowal will revive them. 

Stellar win

Astrologer Amit Lamba has read an India triumph in the stars. He foretells India is going to win and you will have Mahendra Singh Dhoni to thank for the victory. "The planets are in Dhoni's favour. Hence we will win. The country's kundali is also favoured by the planets. Hence we are going to win the game," he said.

And Sachin's fate?

Over Sachin's scores, the oracles are divided. While, both Lama and Sangghvi predicted that Sachin will score his centennial ton. Golani claims that in the beginning there lurk certain hurdles for Tendulkar, and unless he manages to overcome them, scoring a hundredth century seems unlikely.
