"Meet my son Hemant Hariyani"

"Good evening sir"

"Good evening Hemant. Pleased to meet you. Tell me more about yourself."

"I work as a Software Engineer with XYZ company" and blah......

"Hemant is also studying Astronomy"

"That is amazing Hemant. I do not know too many people who do that. Great work boy. Can you read my palm and tell me what’s written on it?"

Crash...... A thousand answers rushed to my mind - most of them being unsuitable for being given as an answer or being mentioned here.

"Sorry Sir, I am not into palmistry"

"Ah... I am sorry for being so ignorant. So you read horoscopes?"

Crash...... A thousand answers rushed to my mind - most of them being unsuitable for being given as an answer or being mentioned here.

I am sure that I am not the only astronomer this has heppened to. And it happens a lot of times. Some ask me to read their palms, while others think I am an astrologer. I used to get irritated earlier, but now I beleive I am used to it. In fact I even offer to read a palm if it belongs to a pretty lady. It is fun to see them agree to a lot of things I say.
