Lobo - Howzzat?: 50 predictions on Indian cricket: you wont believe!

Sherlock Holmes with his fancy hat, magnifying glass and pipe always fascinated me. I was glued to every clue Perry Mason worked on. I would read with anticipation as Ganesh (Vasanth) reconstructed a crime with a seemingly simple object. The way these celebrated detectives worked was really captivating piecing clues together, painstakingly, one piece at a time, sometimes aided by past theories and sometimes devising new techniques to help in the search.

Probably, it is a thing with all Scorpios. They love the mysteries of the world. So do I. And I have a snoopy Aquarian in me too, who also loves hidden somethings and suspense. At the age when most boys fantasies involved picking up a bat and destroying the opposition to win a cricket match for their country, I would fantasise myself as a detective solving a murder mystery with a simple clue.

While that dream of being a detective never materialised, Im truly grateful to the universes way of giving me a chance to be a detective in my own way. Only, there is no violent death that I investigate; it is life the past, the present and, most importantly, the future, for thats where ones hopes and aspirations lie. And yes, I dont have a Dr Watson or a Vasanth to talk to. Its myself that I engage with. If people in my inner circle feel that Im lost most of the time, then they are right. And some of them also know it is the normal state for me.

This is a slice of my life story the story of how I go about making my predictions. On different occasions, if I refer to a past prediction of mine, it is only to help you marvel at the amazing accuracy of astrology. My aim is to explain, in simple words, that astrology is more science than art. It is something that can be learnt and taught. In fact, replicated too.

In this book, I will show you the power of astrology through a study a study of the game of gentlemen. We are talking about cricket and certain important events connected with it. The men mentioned here were destined for greatness and achieved it. But they too cannot achieve more than what is destined. And, yes, you cannot only measure their success quotient, but also predict when life will cease to be magical for them. All of this can be predicted just by looking at the positions of the planets over the horizon when the person was born.

Sports outcomes are some of the most unpredictable things in the world. Investment banks like Commerzbank, UBS and Goldman Sachs tried to predict the 2018 Football World Cup, by simulating factors and conditions used in predicting financial market movements.

Well, all the three banks couldnt get it right .

In this book, Im going to show you how, by just using a handful of variables, the outcome of even such a supposedly unpredictable event can be predicted. We will see how the biggest spectacle of the game of glorious uncertainties can be a certain event.

Contrary to popular belief, astrology is more about logic and less about numbers. The various events and thought processes that led to certain assumptions have been mentioned in the first few chapters. Then the 50 predictions follow. If you are short of time and patience, you can jump directly to the predictions. If you are someone who likes to know how particular conclusions were derived/arrived at, then the chapters leading to the actual predictions would probably interest you.

I will also introduce you to the techniques that aid me and new ideas I have formulated. I also aim to make you see and admire the science in astrology. This book is not aimed at making you an astrologer though. So, I have reserved all the complicated theories and terminologies for a future book dedicated to that.

This book will also show that we are all bound by our karmas. One cannot reap what he hasnt sown. One cannot achieve more in life than is destined. But, if you are destined for greatness, no one can stop you either. In short, your destiny is pre-written. And one cannot change ones destiny.
