“Thats not enough. Where is the Saturn standing ..is it in Jupiter’s house or mercury’s?”
“Ummm.. I am not sure about that ..can I check and let you know? .Any thing else I need to check?”
“Yes ..check the position of Mars and sun . They should not be in their own house but should be looking at each other .The Venus should be in the seventh house and the sun in the ninth house .Please also check the position of the stars after ten years as in my sons horoscope there is a problematic period after 10 years and another at the age 58……”

“Yes yes …I remember …Id 001 right?”
“That’s right .We have found the horoscope to be matching and we are happy with the other details .So may I know your thoughts on it ?”
“Yes ..we too feel it’s a good match…but just want to know if tour daughter is proficient in singing or dance ..You see my son is a lover of music and dance and wants a wife who can dance and sing.”
(A vision of m daughter of in a bharatnatyam costume greeting her husband at the door in the evening flashed in my mind )
“Sorry sir. .all my daughter can do is hum a few lines . I believe you want a performing artist for your son and not a wife .so…… goodbye and all the best.”
