Palm Reading: myth or reality?

What is Palm Reading? The art of Palm Reading has been popular for ages. It is believed that fortune telling is more than telling people what they want to hear. Some view Palm Reading as a science. Palm Reading is an art and therefore not everybody who claims to be a Palm Reader knows his stuff.

Palm Reading is too difficult an art and therefore not everybody who claims to be a Palm Reader knows his stuff. Roadside Palm Readers take advantage of people’s helplessness and tensions by giving them tidings of a bright future. Most of the Palm Readers who advertise in newspapers appear on television are fakes. The craze to knowing the future from soothsayers is rapidly increasing youngsters who are always keen to know about their future. They show their hands to anybody who claims that he or she knows Palmistry. Students visit Palm Readers to know about the awaited result and girls about their marriage and marital life. But in the modern times no-one is sure whether the Palm Reader is a fake or knows what is what. One can find Palm Readers in every street and 90 percent out of them know nothing. Some sit by the roadside while other have opened their offices and they advertise in newspapers and have their visiting cards printed. So popular is Palm Reading among the youth that Palm Reading stalls are a regular feature at functions in colleges. Mazher Abbas, a university student, told The Post that whenever any function is organised they book a stall for fortunetellers to attract more and more youngsters. When The Post talked to a roadside Palm Reading in Raja Bazaar he said mostly uneducated people came to him to show their hands and they want to hear good things. “Almost every time I tell everyone the same things and they believe in me. They become excited and take a sigh of relief and feel a bit relaxed.”
