Feng Shui Diary Archives

I was with Nimmi, my wife at "In Orbit", a Shopping Mall at Mumbai's Malad, when I bumped into Jaya and Harvey.
"Hello, Mr Mohan Deep."
"Hello,how is life? Hope things have worked out for you." I asked them after introducing them to my wife.
"Feng Shui has changed our life." Harvey appeared very content.
We sat over cups of coffee at the Cafe Coffee Day and talked. Rather, Harvey talked.

My US based Indian friend-client, Sangeeta Nagaraju Nukala has sent me some lovely pictures of her new born baby boy who, on my suggestion, has been named Chanakaya. Hopefully, he will be as powerful, as scholarly as this scholar-sage of 3rd-4th century. Also known as Kautilya, author of Artha Shastra, an ancient text on administration of Government and Economics, he was Chandragupta Maurya's prime minister.

This week was good. I wanted some sensational Feng Shui story with the elements of twists and turns, in stead of the routine success stories. It started when Shaw acquired an acrylic painting from me; the painting of `The Peak`. He came across my web site while browsing. He was to tell me later that, "I had completed the interior of my house and was looking for some mural or painting for my wall. I saw the painting of the Peak and somehow like the description as well as the look."

I wrote this on 23rd Jan 2006. But am bringing it out from archives. This is typical case of two secretaries - Lara and Ayesha - working for one employer that reminded me of a Mumbai builder who used to have two secretaries; one who couldn't type but was glamorous and the other, a mousy creature who was the backbone of his office.

Three years back, Maheshwari got himself a green card after a lot of running around and networking. And he became an American citizen. He had suffered losses while doing business in India and was very hopeful of making some money in America like his brothers had done. But bad luck continued to dog him. The house he purchased (on installments) became a liability as the property prices fell and the general store he ran suffered the same fate he had known when in India.
