If a shy and conservative girl gives you her number on asking, does it mean she is interested in you?

If you made it clear that you are interested in her when you asked for the number, any girl who gives you her number is interested. She may not be ready to marry you, but she has enough interest to want to learn more about you. If instead you prevaricated saying you'd like to study or you need her advice, then she may have taken you seriously and all bets are off.

Don't Go Overboard Yet
If she gave you her number it means she likes you some, it does not mean she wants to marry you or even that she wants to date you. She will figure out later how much she likes you. So contain yourself; you made a good first step but your job has only begun.

Following Up
You now have approval to call her and ask for an introductory date (don't call it that, just call it a date). An introductory date is a 30-60 minutes meeting in a public place, like a cafe, an ice cream parlor or a park. On the date you won't spend much money on her, and you don't expect any more intimacy than at most a hug when the date ends. You will ask questions about her and listen attentively. And she will ask questions about you which you will answer honestly, while showing some sense of humor, if you can.

After the introductory date is over, the girl will reflect on whether she likes you more or less than she did before. You will call her and ask if she enjoyed the date and if she'd like to do it again.

If she likes you less after the first date, she'll either tell you she prefers not to have another date (if she is assertive and knows what she wants) or she'll  show reluctance to meet you again, if she is young, shy or not assertive.  Reluctance may be expressed in many ways:

• not answering calls
• returning calls slowly
• returning calls by text message
• Having a very busy schedule
• Can't meet on the day you suggest (and won't offer another day)
• reluctant tone of voice

 If she is anything less than delighted and excited to hear from you after the first date, tell her thank you for the date and wish her well. Then don't call again. Strangely, although she has decided against you, it is you who gets to stop the relationship by no longer pursuing her.

If she does show strong interest in you after date 1, then arrange a longer more private date 2, like a meal in a restaurant. You can spend some money now (but don't overspend. She does not want to know how much money you have yet). At the end of date 2, you can show your interest in a way that is appropriate in your culture. In the West, that is with a kiss (or kisses) at the conclusion of the date. In the East, you may take it slower.

Very important
If she has decided against you at any point--do not get angry with her. It is not an insult. She did not lead you on. She has not humiliated you. She simply decided you and she are not a strong enough personality match--and she is probably right. So be gracious to her, do not call her again and look for another girl to ask out instead.

Why one needs to show his chart to an expert or good astrologer?

There are many contradictory views existing in Vedic astrology. Contradictions exist in modern literature as well as classics on astrology. To sort out those contradictions an experts view is needed. The reason is that the expert has worked on many real charts & applied the theory in practical life too.

Let us take an example. How important is Sakata yoga? It is given in classics , but should it be blindly applied on charts or not?

Sakata yoga: If Moon is in 6th, 8th or 12th house from jupiter, then this yoga is formed. If Moon is in a Kendra then such a yoga is cancelled.

Result: Unhappy, unfortunate. Sometimes his luck dawns but other times it fades away.

Now this is the view of Phaldeepika & some other classics on SAKATA yoga. But I in fact don't use this yoga. I think that this yoga is not valid. If Moon is in 12th house from Jupiter , then Jupiter would be 2nd house from from Moon. This would make another yoga "Sunapha yoga" that would make someone a king, famous & rich. So Sakata yoga is directly in contradiction with Sunapha yoga.
Moreover Jupiter as a reference point in this yoga seems to be weird, as Chandra could be a better reference point.  

Hence I think that this form of Sakata yoga is an invalid yoga.

There is an alternate form of Sakata yoga given in Saravali. That yoga definitely seems to be true , but not this one.

Quantum Theory Demonstrated: Observation Affects Reality

REHOVOT, Israel, February 26, 1998--One of the most bizarre premises of quantum theory, which has long fascinated philosophers and physicists alike, states that by the very act of watching, the observer affects the observed reality.

In a study reported in the February 26 issue of Nature (Vol. 391, pp. 871-874), researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have now conducted a highly controlled experiment demonstrating how a beam of electrons is affected by the act of being observed. The experiment revealed that the greater the amount of "watching," the greater the observer's influence on what actually takes place.
The research team headed by Prof. Mordehai Heiblum, included Ph.D. student Eyal Buks, Dr. Ralph Schuster, Dr. Diana Mahalu and Dr. Vladimir Umansky. The scientists, members of the Condensed Matter Physics Department, work at the Institute's Joseph H. and Belle R. Braun Center for Submicron Research.
When a quantum "observer" is watching Quantum mechanics states that particles can also behave as waves. This can be true for electrons at the submicron level, i.e., at distances measuring less than one micron, or one thousandth of a millimeter. When behaving as waves, they can simultaneously pass through several openings in a barrier and then meet again at the other side of the barrier. This "meeting" is known as interference.
Strange as it may sound, interference can only occur when no one is watching. Once an observer begins to watch the particles going through the openings, the picture changes dramatically: if a particle can be seen going through one opening, then it's clear it didn't go through another. In other words, when under observation, electrons are being "forced" to behave like particles and not like waves. Thus the mere act of observation affects the experimental findings.
To demonstrate this, Weizmann Institute researchers built a tiny device measuring less than one micron in size, which had a barrier with two openings. They then sent a current of electrons towards the barrier. The "observer" in this experiment wasn't human. Institute scientists used for this purpose a tiny but sophisticated electronic detector that can spot passing electrons. The quantum "observer's" capacity to detect electrons could be altered by changing its electrical conductivity, or the strength of the current passing through it.
Apart from "observing," or detecting, the electrons, the detector had no effect on the current. Yet the scientists found that the very presence of the detector-"observer" near one of the openings caused changes in the interference pattern of the electron waves passing through the openings of the barrier. In fact, this effect was dependent on the "amount" of the observation: when the "observer's" capacity to detect electrons increased, in other words, when the level of the observation went up, the interference weakened; in contrast, when its capacity to detect electrons was reduced, in other words, when the observation slackened, the interference increased.
Thus, by controlling the properties of the quantum observer the scientists managed to control the extent of its influence on the electrons' behavior. The theoretical basis for this phenomenon was developed several years ago by a number of physicists, including Dr. Adi Stern and Prof. Yoseph Imry of the Weizmann Institute of Science, together with Prof. Yakir Aharonov of Tel Aviv University. The new experimental work was initiated following discussions with Weizmann Institute's Prof. Shmuel Gurvitz, and its results have already attracted the interest of theoretical physicists around the world and are being studied, among others, by Prof. Yehoshua Levinson of the Weizmann Institute.
Tomorrow's Technology
The experiment's finding that observation tends to kill interference may be used in tomorrow's technology to ensure the secrecy of information transfer. This can be accomplished if information is encoded in such a way that the interference of multiple electron paths is needed to decipher it. "The presence of an eavesdropper, who is an observer, although an unwanted one, would kill the interference," says Prof. Heiblum. "This would let the recipient know that the message has been intercepted."
On a broader scale, the Weizmann Institute experiment is an important contribution to the scientific community's efforts aimed at developing quantum electronic machines, which may become a reality in the next century. This radically new type of electronic equipment may exploit both the particle and wave nature of electrons at the same time and a greater understanding of the interplay between these two characteristics are needed for the development of this equipment. Such future technology may, for example, open the way to the development of new computers whose capacity will vastly exceed that of today's most advanced machines.
This research was funded in part by the Minerva Foundation, Munich, Germany. Prof. Imry holds the Max Planck Chair of Quantum Physics and heads the Albert Einstein Minerva Center for Theoretical Physics.
The Weizmann Institute of Science, in Rehovot, Israel, is one of the world's foremost centers of scientific research and graduate study. Its 2,400 scientists, students, technicians, and engineers pursue basic research in the quest for knowledge and the enhancement of the human condition. New ways of fighting disease and hunger, protecting the environment, and harnessing alternative sources of energy are high priorities.
