What other relevance could this question possibly have to the entire scheme of things in finding the leaf?!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I also noticed that, in our case, after one bunch of leafs had been exhausted, the man would disappear for around ten minutes to 'get the next bunch' - which would invariably contain the details he had gathered during his interrogation (for those ten minutes, he was possibly scratching the details into a leaf which he would then 'find').. Not that it mattered much to me, I don't know Tamil anyway...&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The only reason this gets to me so much is that so many people really seem to fall for it so wholeheartedly. I agree with the earlier comment by Sreekanth, it is possibly because they unconsciously supply information trustingly. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I have no possible explanation for those who have indeed had a miraculous experience with this process - all I know is, MY personal experience was definitely a hoax. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;What a well orchestrated racket...incidentally, we were charged Rs.1400 per person. As a family of five, we shelled out Rs.7000 on this thing that day, and still argue about its authenticity vehemently ( my sister in law swears by it to this day...and as you can see..me, not quite so!) . &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Well..you live and learn...&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Anyway, sorry for such a long comment, and that too on a post written in March. I think I will do my own post on this now :-)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Cheers&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Y</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8574898/510130516034757218/comments/default/1475708336358569407'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8574898/510130516034757218/comments/default/1475708336358569407'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sandhyakrish.blogspot.com/2007/03/leap-of-faith.html?showComment=1182708240000#c1475708336358569407' title=''/><author><name>Y</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14106039654401909233</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://sandhyakrish.blogspot.com/2007/03/leap-of-faith.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574898.post-510130516034757218' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8574898/posts/default/510130516034757218' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574898.post-8682508554073705867</id><published>2007-06-06T18:14:00.000+04:00</published><updated>2007-06-06T18:14:00.000+04:00</updated><title type='text'>Dear,i read ur Nadi astrology..but i fully respect...</title><content type='html'>Dear,&lt;BR/&gt;i read ur Nadi astrology..&lt;BR/&gt;but i fully respect that science.'&lt;BR/&gt;coz. i was dead against tht..and how can a man tell 20 days before looking at my thumb impression tht my eldest..if it is a son..is going to have a heart surgery..tht too.a new kind where...no one will feel tht he had his heart treated..&lt;BR/&gt;even Dr Chockalingam of Kovai Medical Centre in coimbatore is the man who was really surprised..coz..i had a recorde tape of the same made 20 days before...something still i cant really belive..but belive it or not..</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8574898/510130516034757218/comments/default/8682508554073705867'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8574898/510130516034757218/comments/default/8682508554073705867'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sandhyakrish.blogspot.com/2007/03/leap-of-faith.html?showComment=1181139240000#c8682508554073705867' title=''/><author><name>sivnitha@yahoo.co.uk</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://sandhyakrish.blogspot.com/2007/03/leap-of-faith.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574898.post-510130516034757218' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8574898/posts/default/510130516034757218' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574898.post-955821628979915148</id><published>2007-03-28T09:32:00.000+04:00</published><updated>2007-03-28T09:32:00.000+04:00</updated><title type='text'>The poor guy must have been stunned by your beauty...</title><content type='html'>The poor guy must have been stunned by your beauty.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Admirer</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8574898/510130516034757218/comments/default/955821628979915148'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8574898/510130516034757218/comments/default/955821628979915148'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sandhyakrish.blogspot.com/2007/03/leap-of-faith.html?showComment=1175059920000#c955821628979915148' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://sandhyakrish.blogspot.com/2007/03/leap-of-faith.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574898.post-510130516034757218' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8574898/posts/default/510130516034757218' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574898.post-1419334251993159553</id><published>2007-03-28T08:50:00.000+04:00</published><updated>2007-03-28T08:50:00.000+04:00</updated><title type='text'>I didnt this in Bangalore and I strongly believe t...</title><content type='html'>I didnt this in Bangalore and I strongly believe that it is a hoax..
