Post 06: Maa Kali.. the Quantum

On a (contuning) lonely impulse of delight, I continue this erratic Ketu series of posts, in this Ketu Currents blog..


Why? Because in between the crazy roller coaster of daily life, the planetary transits, the journalling, instagram, life, clients, what's app, etc , there's NO pause, there's no Repose, no tall observation tower, from which, you can sit away and observe your ongoing life...

These series of posts are like a Machaan, high up in an jungle, a observation post, up in the tree, where you can sit up and make observations/ notes about the jungle of life, that you're already thick and thin.. in...


LIKE the WATCHER/ monitor up in their satellites (Marvel comics). Or like any regular weather satellites ๐Ÿ›ฐ️๐Ÿ›ฐ️ observing all weather phenomenon below. Or even like a weather airplane..

About concrete UTILITY of such a series of posts I cannot predetermine any. In the style of Ketu, they're completely erratic, random, and affected upon me by the sublime..


A Lonely impulse of delight
brought me to the tumult
In these clouds..
( An Irish Airman Foresees His Death- W.B. Yeats)


Maa Kali.. the Quantum

The photograph above is around 2:30 am at annual Maa Kali Puja, C Block, C.R. Park, South Delhi. Even though I was in the marsh of a resilient viral fever, relentless infection, cough, horrible congestion, Maa Kali made sure I stood entire night upto 3am involved in her prayers.

Next day I also accompanied everyone for the Visarjan ( Farewell/ Idol immersion), to an industrial area, backwater pond at Faridabad. Once the rituals were completed I was allowed to be sick again, ill again. Returning to my prarabdh karma, as per karmic schedules...


Yes, Maa Kali can pause time, so you can do the needful urgent thing. And once it's completed, return back to your ongoing syllabus of Karmic schedule..

Post 05: The Frenzy and the Ecstasy

Insta Reel on Noida Expo Haat

In the above link ☝๐Ÿผ☝๐Ÿผ I have posted a Reel on Insta about the journey of a design process, the burning of the midnight oil, the blood sweat and tears behind the creative process..

But in this post, I shall try to express KETU (UNDER)CURRENT ..
Namely.. In KETU TEXT describe the KETU ENERGY of events and CIRCUMSTANCES usually underlying any or most KETU creation processes...

I reached the far off venue at about 3pm, only to learn that Shwetas car had been UNCEREMONIOUSLY towed away by some UNKNOWN sector of the organizers whilst she came to install some rugs at her exhibition. And they spent hours frantically hunting for her car, WHILST ATTENDING the first day visitors.. but to NO AVAIL.. the car was STILL MISSING ..!!?!!

And, even BEFORE I could ENTER and see the finished, glittering exhibit, I had to IMMEDIATELY RETURN BACK the same two hour Journey I had travelled.. but NOW BACKWARDS from greater Noida to Delhi, as Shweta had to attend a award felicitation ceremony in yet ANOTHER Architectural exhibition at Pragati Maidan.
While I waited for her ceremony I had some wine at a steel pipe stall and in a KETU State.. DAZED, HEADLESS , STUPOR.. clicked this below pic and uploaded it all over my social media..๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ



SUDDENLY I also met a long lost Architectural junior, fellow JJite, hostelite Ankit Revo, who's been around 12 years in Delhi and this is the THIRD TIME we're meeting.. some blood chilling correlation with my previous post, about old pals NOT staying in touch and SUDDENLY VANISHING..


Later after Shwetas award ceremony, we travelled for the THIRD TIME IN A SINGLE DAY, now from Delhi to Greater Noida !!!!?!
We reached the vast Expo, all empty.. all stalls shut everyone Gone Baby Gone.. us roaming around like headless zombies..in our uncomfortable formal glitters.. TRYING To locate her LOST, TOWED AWAY BY UNKNOWNS, MISSING CAR !!!


After a lot of phone calls, a previous stranger, but now an angel of help.. managed to locate her car.. FAR AND AWAY, OUTSIDE THE PREMISES, IN A SHADY jungle AREA, NEXT TO A MARSH..!!
In NCR where cars are plucked away from guarded, CCTV laden colonies,.. the singular lonely car in the shady, distance.. STOOD UN-PLUCKED, NOT STOLEN..


We heaved a sigh of ecstatic Relief ..and headed back.. me for the FOURTH TIME.. THE DISTANCE JOURNEY FROM GREATER NOIDA, BACK TO DELHI.. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ .. for tomorrow early morning we had to RETURN again to the exhibition.. and FINALLY begin to meet and attend to the visitors, the audience..

Ketu Tails/ Explanations
This post above had the perfect upheaval and frenzy, of the KETU experience....the churning, erratic, the sublime.. the agony and Ecstacy of the KETU experience...

The jarring Discontinuity, haphazard rhizomatic mess, the fluctuation of the KETU trip..

BUT ONE that ULTIMATELY ended well, with grace.. the KETU TAIL..

THIS NARRATIVE problem had always Vexed me BEFORE.. too MUCH theory, SERPENTINE complicated LAYERED..

..but NEVER the discontinuity, the breathless, frenzy, the churning, erratic, sublime.. Agony and Ecstacy..of the KETU TAIL..

..the electricity of the Ketu Current...

Post 04: Wave of Upheavals



Lost two childhood friends back to back in the span of a single week. After Covid this wave of sudden unexpected deaths seems to have become the norm. Unforeseen ruptures. Unexpected turmoil and upheaval. Since the Great Conjunction in 2020, namely, Jupiter, Pluto, Saturn in Capricorn, things have never been the same. The Great Conjunction is a global reset button that happens once in every 100 years.
Before 2020, life was going on as usual, more or less. But after the Covid waves.. everything changed. We lost many. Uncountable. Unpredictable. Every day. Every week.
Here, I'm not yet fully recovered from yesterday's cremation of friend Monjit Sharma, at Lodhi Road crematorium, Delhi, and there, already a cousin of mine has been shifted to Critical Care Unit, in a hospital in my hometown Guwahati.
A vast, continuous, unpredictable wave of upheavals since 2020.

Maybe they could have reached out to me more.. Maybe I could have reached out to them more..

Healing/ Astro advice:

Connect with friends. Connect with people. Not just to share your smiles. But ALSO to Share your grief, tears, and sorrows.

Run away not from sadness..

Share it, deal with it, heal with it...

Post 03: Blessings of Lord Ketu


Thou glimmered

from the distance

Yet, thou touching clearly and crisply
With thine infra red rays

Thou twinkled from afar
Yet, inflaming so intensely
Those who thou hast touched

I have travelled through swamps, random marshes and back waters
And found glimmers of thine erratic/sublime glow

Always In unexpected quarters
and interstices/ crossroads

I have dwelt upon thine crazy geometry
Thine erratic laws of glimmer
Thine doorways through
Bakwaters of inland empires

And thine will has carved me
Sculpting these very words,

Guiding me with thy glimmering glitter..
..so Erratic and Sublime..

**************************************
**************************************
Dear friends, the fragmented/ erratic form of this post represents the resultant evolution, or RESOLUTION of a long, ongoing process of expression/ blogging that I have been continuing on over the years.

How I arrived at this erratic/ fragmented format of expression has been detail, in the previous two posts titled:
Post 02: Return to the Swamp and
Post 01: The Roots of Ketu

Within these two above posts, I managed a small tangent of DEPARTURE/ EXIT..
from my DECADE LONG TRADITION of my usual blogging NARRATIVE... of an elaborate, entwining, highly literary form of linguistic expression. A prevailing style for so many, many years of blogging, YET which was proving HIGHLY INADEQUATE to express the Erratic/Sublime nature of Ketu energies.

Especially, in these current times, wherein my Instagram account afforded me the freedom and spontaneity. With it's self explanatory visuals, and instantaneous format of expression..

HENCE, it was highly IMPERATIVE, that a KETU FORM of expression needed to be established..

Where, the erratic/ fragmented spontaneity of a moment would be directly expressed...
BYPASSING my entwining, entrapping, verbiosity, ..my default serpentine, layered, linguistic, embroidery, .. my overtly literary,  twisting, coiling, serpentine, and exhasting language..

A FORMAT OF EXPRESSION which would EXEMPLIFY the Erratic,  Quantum, fragmented,  yet Sublime quality of Ketu energies..

Rahu Ketu Blessings
Those seeking immediate blessings of Rahu should pray to Ma Saraswati, goddess of learning. Those seeking immediate blessings of Ketu, should pray to Lord Ganesha, the universal problem solver. 

Those seeking deeper blessings should pray to the Serpentine forms of Rahu Ketu. 
For Rahu, pray to Lord Vasuki, serpent around neck of Lord Shiva.
For Ketu, pray to Lord Ananta Nath or Sheshnaag, cosmic serpent upon whom Lord Vishnu rests upon.

During Covid Lockdown I found the universal, familiar yet highly specific  image of Lord Vishnu to grant us the blessings of Lord Ketu.. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

Post 02: Return to the Swamp..

Please read: Ketu Currents Intro to understand the astrological objective of these posts..

Its been very long since I have blogged.
Once we used to blog on the computer.
Now, it's all on the mobile.
Technology brings changes.
Technology brings Evolution.
But then, the occasional regression is rudimentary.
Everything under the Sun in tune.
But the shadow Ketu, bygone pasts.
We pause, and dive into the murky waters
Into the older ways of doing things.
Revisitng the older ways of doing things.
✳️✳️✳️✳️✳️✳️✳️✳️✳️☸️✳️✳️
Was reading my blog.
So very heavy and complicated.
I thought some change was in order.
The Ketu approach to things.
I had ordered Swamp Thing Book One
Issues #20 to #26
Reading issues from back in time
Deferred delights of childhood
Delivered in old adulthood
Was like tasting an old sweet
Covered beneath dusty shelves of decades
Forgotten tastes upon the tongues
Resurrected, smouldering upon the palate
Alan Moore has inscribed the code
On how to express ourselves
In matters ancient and smouldering
All we had to do was reconnect
Returns to the roots of Destiny
Return to the primal Swamp..

Post 01: The Roots of Ketu

Today, on 1st of June, on the 56th day of Saturn Retrograde 2017, after having blogged for almost a decade (2007- 2017)... I am posting after a long, long time...

Please read: Ketu Currents Intro to understand the objective of these posts..

On a lonely impulse of delight..
to attempt a Ketu style of writing.. An erratic, quantum, fragmented spontaneous style of writing..
..and if successful, to be continued in this series..
simply titled.. Posts !! ..

On writing/blogging
For me, writing, especially blogging, has always been more a source of catharsis, venting, and expurgation. As opposed to any objective expression of ideas/ concepts.. it's always been writing/ blogging for the sake of writing/ blogging itself. A process of redemptive writing/ blogging..

Ketu writing/blogging
In my horoscope, exalted Mercury + Sun in Virgo, my 12th house, makes me excellent at writing. But BECAUSE it's the 12th house, it always Overdoses, layers and Burns Out. This is further amplified by debilitated Rahu in 3rd house of expression/ endeavours. Too much energy into efforts, build up, but resulting in.. anticlimax.. in damp squibs..

BUT Saturn conjunct Ketu, in my 9th house, of Gemini provides a exit plan from this burdened, heavy, serpentine, layered, and overbearing process of writing/ blogging/ self expression.
This overburdened, layered form of expression is evident in all my earlier posts of this blog, and each single post of my other two blogs.., namely:Energy Clearing blog and my .Saturnine Blog.

⭐Post Script,Oct 2024 ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ ⭐

The Roots of Ketu: Lord Ganesha Solution
Rahu is connected to Ma Saraswati, goddess of learning, and Ketu is connected with Lord Ganesha, the universal problem solver.
People wanting to build mountains, multiple layers, should seek blessings of Mother Saraswati.
People wanting to resolve issues, remove blockages should seek blessings of Lord Ganesha.

During Covid Lockdown I FOUND the Ganeshas mantras of each if 27 Nakshatras. Later, I also found the Ganesha of each Tithi. So, daily in Lockdown,
doing the Ganesha mantras of the Nakshatra and Tithi, really helped. And the evidence of this amongst other things is clearing of the writing/ expression process.

And so, with blessings of Lord Ganesha, I could finally begin this series of erratic/ Sublime Ketu Posts..๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ⭐⭐๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Cats eye 04: Stormy currents...

Since 2002, I've worn Cat's Eye gemstone for a Critical Ketu in my horoscope, (check:  Critical Planets Intro). However it was only after the journey of Energy Clearing, (check: Energy Clearing Intro), that I discovered it's higher energies. How, through churning, and rupture... it brings momentum/ movement..

This time, on my 43rd birthday, there was construction going on at our place, as our landlord was renovating all the floors after his retirement. And, because of the severe dust, chaos, we went to a friends place at Noida to stay over. There, accompanying my friend to repair his broken chain at the nearby mall, we landed up at the Crystal shop he had mentioned many times before.

Despite the owner, displaying great salesman skills, and overwhelming us about the powers and benefits of crystals, and how it had benefited his noteworthy clientele,  I did notice an amazing selection of unusual, and unconventional crystals abounding in his shop. In fact in his three shops, sprawled across the mall. Ultimately, along with some healing crystals, I brought an entire necklace/ beads of Cat's eye gemstone at an highly reasonable price.

Returning to my friends place, I was overwhelmed by our friend Papori, The Cake artist Gurgaon, landing up with an intricately designed birthday cake, driving all the way, 100 kms + from Gurgaon, with her kids, getting far out lost on her journey, and somehow making it in one piece. She was joined by my childhood friend Mampi, who arrived with loads of chocolates. There was impromptu lucnh at our friends place, when the hostess/ queen of the house itself was missing and was away in Italy. So much for trying to run away from home to escape the birthday ritual! 
Later, in the evening, we went all the way from Gurgaon to Noida, to attend my friends sisters housewarming party, where a host of people who I knew all from different eras of my life had gathered. Someone had brought a cake for the housewarming, which I finally had to cut. An impromptu birthday celebration out of the blue, in some unimagined location, choc a bloc with people who knew me from a lifetime!
Later, while returning, we dropped in at the birthday party of Hugo Lorenzetti, who I had met one year back on: Cat's eye 02: Electrifying Karina Buhr  and it turned out to be a costume ball, with the wildest costumes and crowd. Again, ironically, Not wanting to celebrate birthday, yet at the centre of such events, and an costume ball B'day. Ketu irony at work!

Next day evening I took my friend and wife to the crystal store, and made them procure various crystals, healing stones that they required. I did NOT want the energy build up to die down..!!
And even when we returned home to dust and horror, we were carrying some crystal residues of this stormy/ whirlwind birthday weekend!
Later, when we finally returned home, I was dreading the return to dust, breakage, gas, stomach issues, etc. However, thanks to the Cat's Eye beads, and the procured healing crystals, i rediscovered and re connected to my old Ayurvedic medicine, Triphala, which helped reverse my horrifying build up of acidity, gas, indigestion etc. After the past entire month of breathless horror, and no medicines working, I could slowly begin to breathe again. Finally despite all crystals, it was Cat's eye that connected me to my healing roots.

Later, as the days passed, I felt more relaxed and at peace with our ghastly surroundings of construction, breakage, and overwhelming dust. Meanwhile, there was news of rising conflict between India and Pakistan, over terrorist killing 18 Indian soldiers at a military base in Uri. Amidst all that churning high drama in and around, our friend asked us to accompany him on his trip to Chamba, above Rishikesh, where he had designed and developed a joint hillside property. One year back, my wiffe's slipped disc had happened just before the invitation to Chamba, and even now she was hardly okay. But now, with protective crystals, etc, we were encouraged and took curage to say yes! Suddenly despite all that chaos of construction, health issues, slipped disce recovery, we jumped on the bandwagon to Chamba.
Away from the dust and chaos, the rolling landscapes soothed me, I slept for a long while. Enroute we stopped at Haridwar, as it was prevailing Pitra paksh, i could fulfil oblation to ancestors, so very fortuitously and spontaneously.
The days at Chamba was heavenly, especially in contrast to the constant dust and horror of our construction laden environs. I read the horoscope of our friends partner, a joint builder/ developer, who has purchased a expensive ring from Bangkok, which I saw he didn't need, and I urged him to replace it a .. Cat's Eye! He said in bangkok, they had gurantee of replacement, how wondrous. Again, high up in the heavenly hills.. a Cat's eye connection. later at night, I felt some troubled energy presence, and had some pretty elaborate dreams. and it was Pitra Paksh going on. Next day while returning, I had the opportunity to perform some release, some tribute in accordance with the evnets/ dreams of the previous night. how fortuitous and spontaneous.

Once back in Delhi, initially, i did felt a huge energy drop, hangover from the whirlwind trip, but the Cat's eye kept some energy/ gemstone connection alive. we were invited by a friend who had guests from Ceylon/ Sri Lanka, where the worlds best cat's Eye were mined. Energy was continuously curning throughout the week, and saw me engaged in cathartic, clearing, spiritual activities, breathlessly, and continuously through the entire period of Pitra Paksh.
Finally, now, 2nd Oct, 2nd day of Navartara 2016, I finally sign off after two weeks of stormy movement, activity heralded in by the Cat's eye.
With Gratitude for movement and momentum... Lord Mahavishnu.. that's all I ask for!
