Remember the time your dad or granddad took you to the friendly neighbourhood palmist to ascertain whether you would grow up to be a doctor or engineer? The palmist would redo his red (a regulation standard) turban, look at you intensely and then reach for the hand; twisting, bending, turning it in all directions to, at long last, come up with a string of pearls you already knew.
Initial impression: Big deal. He had asked those well-phrased questions first anyway.
Today, in the age of geo-stationary satellites, you could still do the same thing. Visit a palmist round the corner, or maybe find one of those mobile chappies strolling along with a bag offering their services.
But naah. Why leave home?
Perhaps we can get the Charlie to come over to yours? Nope. Not necessary. Then how the heck do I read my palm, you ask? Fear not, just connect. To the net, dum, dum.
I kid you not. Cross my heart, it really can be done. I came across Ofesite, where palms of various shapes and sizes were shown with a selection circle under each. All you have to do is follow their prompts and choose one.
Each is a step in ascertaining the true shape of different fate lines, size and spread of your fingers, their appearance, some technical jargon (don't let that worry you), blah, blah. Select one that you feel is a true reflection of your hand. Thence, on to the next step.
A word of caution: Do be careful in selecting a hand-type or line-type. Take your time, check, re-check and zero in on one. Do that well for should you pick an incorrect one, your results will not only go wrong, you'll probably begin to look askance at yourself - "Is this me?"
Your name and e-mail address are required here and, as soon as you have finished the last step, you get the analysis in your in-box, in no time at all.
I found this pretty accurate. Where I thought their prediction was a load of bull and didn't reflect yours truly, truly, I promptly put it down to wrong selections during the process. Rather convenient, what? But what the heck, it's all in jest.
Online Palmistry is a lot more interactive. This is palmistry up close and very personal. Follow the simple instructions and sounds (interactive, remember?) and be prepared to spend some time. Read on only after you've experienced the site.
Checked it out? Relax. Don't get hyperactive and let out a long string of choice epithets. The next one is no wild goose run around the mulberry tree. It's Indya's online palmist, and is actually quite good. Go along with what they ask and, as I've mentioned earlier, be true to yourself in selecting the palm that best resembles your hand.
Now, we come to the accuracy part. How precise is it? Given the fact that you may have selected the wrong line, palm, or finger shape, there are bound to be errors. But then, whoever said your friendly neighbourhood palmist had it bang on was probably displaying mild symptoms of senility. Quid pro quo, amigo, for there is, as they say, many a lip between the slip and the hip.
For those who gave you some bull about ancient Vedic sciences and modern technology being incompatible, here is definite and surreal proof that they are. Next time you use your computer, remember, there is a lifetime of history in those lines just above the mouse.
I presume you still use one?
