Worth a (tarot) Read!


The one thing that I really expect people a lot of people to agree upon is that knowing about the future fascinates them the most, isn’t it? Knowing about his own life, what’s going to happen is one knowledge hardly can anyone resist. Me too!

Sitting with a friend who reads Tarot cards and asking questions to him put me in to write something I noticed. The most questions that I came across were things related to money, love & showing someone down. As a teenager or as a person who’s still building up his life, these are the questions that really matter. Even though money matters the most and that’s the most tempting thing to ask, the more interesting things are the questions about love and showing someone down.

“Will I get her back?”
“Would I marry her or is she the one?”
“I really want to prove it to him & show him this & that”
“I want to make him/her regret.”

Well, these are the questions where the tarot card reader actually sells in making you ask more? (Salesmanship is always appreciated. Kudos). For e.g. the freaking gal has gone and she’s never going to come back. You know that so well. The card shows some devil thing but the card reader says, “Dude look, difficult but then there isn’t a no anywhere in the card. If you be the king and seek her, the major card will overpower the minor card.”

“Yeah okay, there’s this person who’s really pissed off me and my parents. I want to give it back to him”

The answers to these questions keep spinning your mind more than any other. You really then don’t think about the answers to whether you would be a MBA or no, whether your next academic year be nice or no, whether your ailing(complaining as well) would do fine or no?
Why is the latter not so important? Perhaps, these are the real kicks of life. The feeling of saying, “Fuck you man, here I’m above you. This is in return of what you did to us.” You know there’s this great feeling in even thinking about the scenario happening. I am already pumping my fist when I imagine that happening. It brings a devil smile on my face. (I can see you pumping it too)

The thing that I really now don’t expect you to agree upon is that these questions didn’t really make me feel good about myself. I mean I don’t want to live my life to show someone down. I don’t want to wait my life so that I would want to have her back or make her regret. I wanted myself to ask questions about living life. Life, me and a Higher power – its our battle. Its not even about money, its beyond that - beyond people, beyond clashing egos. My life should be to explore lands, explore people, explore nature, explore the world, explore myself.
I’ve come, I’ll go & then I’ll reincarnate. My soul would fuck some other body’s mind with the same fucking questions about money, love and showing someone down. Nah, I can’t make that mistake. Fascinating would be the cards telling me and I making sure I live to the fullest and experience a new thing God has created. Be it as miniscule as how someone in Nigeria manages to live despite the falling economy.
I think you always take something when you die. Lots of things you experienced & the content of making a difference in the world. The satisfaction is much higher than showing the bastard that you were superior or that girl that you were never wrong.


God would be too pleased to reincarnate you to another life so that you make it worth living like the way you did the last time. Get back to living life for your own self & ask the tarot card reader,
“Tell me if I would live my life the way I’d love to?”
The card has to be a YES & he wouldn’t be able to sell you any further (lol).
