Red or Blue?

Just as much as I can understand of the difference between sambhar and kutoo, is as much I can make out about life and the turns it is taking.
Last night on a talk show, Sanjay Jumani, a celeb numerologist fought it out agianst the Bard, saying that all lies in a name. It is your identity, it is all about you. A little twist and injection of extra alphabets, and your life is on the smooth track.
Now coming to life. with due respect to all grahas and nakshatras, if two star crossed people meet, fall (or whatever) in love, and decide to take the next step, what happens?.
By ideal Hindu astrology, life goes berserk. Or try Zodiac.
Suppose they change religion, then all these planets and stars will not pull their strings anymore the way they do now, will they? Then they will have some other stars and other planets playing games with them. What if they put signatures on official letters, instead of tying knots? Will the same stars and planets still haunt them?
Getting into a bit more urban mode, what if they plan to live in sin, because holy matrimony is just not a smooth solution for them? Will their kismet still kill them, or bring in domestic unrest?
Does love not matter still? Are those dark brown scratches in our hands that all we have to follow in our lives? Will we always remain victims of our own guilt of having let go our love for the sake of stars? And why will stars afterall bar anyone from true love, if it is?

you and I pretty much share the same beliefs

and believe me...its not depressing..its very practical
so it seems harsh for others, but truth is truth
and it hurts sometimes

it doesnt hurt, it questions the basic rationality of living being in human forms who still believe they are far ahead of other animals
