Wikipedia defines Meteorology as the interdisciplinary scientific study of the atmosphere. In simple terms, this is the science of assessing weather, especially its changes.
Further, you can find Department of Meteorology in every country, who assess weather of that country and informs public for their welfare. India also has such a Department, whose role becomes more important in view of our dependence on Monsoon. Equipped with the power of Super Computers and Satellites, they are supposed to give reasonably accurate forecast about the rains.
Actually, what happens? Just like earlier years, this year also Indian Meteorology Department has issued at least twenty forecasts about the arrival of Monsoon, every time repudiating earlier forecast. No reason that Indian Public takes forecasts made by Meteorology Department, more of a joke instead of taking as  useful and reliable information. We are yet to hear a forecast from this Department, which will actually come into reality.
As far as forecast of monsoon is concerned, there is another competitor of Meteorology Department. This is not a Government Department. Actually, Government has nothing to do with it. This is the Science of Astrology. Many might object the use of word ‘Science’ with Astrology, but what to do? I also want to object using this word with Meteorology, keeping in view their performance.
There is a great tradition of weather forecast in a specific branch of Astrology, called ‘Mundane Astrology’. A lengthy and detailed system, which if followed, is supposed to give you the clear-cut picture of upcoming Monsoon. Monsoon forecasting in the ‘Mundane Astrology’ involves some simple exercises like making and analyzing horoscope at the time of transit of Sun at a particular degree (occurring normally on 21-22 June as per Indian Astrology); and some not so simple exercises like deciding pregnancy of clouds by observing the whole environment daily and noting down even minor changes.
And all this labor for what? Environment of each day decides what will happen exactly after six and half months. Therefore, if you want forecast Monsoon accurately, then you will have to start all this sky gazing at least six and half months back. Whoosh!
Being an Astrologer having acute interest in ‘Mundane Astrology’, but not wanting to make a lot of expenditure on Sun Screen Lotions, I preferred easier options and thought that I may settle with not so accurate predictions.
Since 2002, I am working on the dates for arrival of Monsoon and to my amazement; results were always much much better than those provided by Meteorology Department were. In majority of cases, there was not a variance of more than two days. Even, deadly floods in Kosi River flowing in the Bihar State were clearly predicted.
There is a general allegation against the astrological predictions that they are made in very vague manner, latter to be interpreted in a desirable way. So, what we did this year. My friend, Nadeem Naqvi prepared a press release regarding Monsoon, on the basis of Email sent to him by me. In the Press Release, which was apparently sent to all Media houses, it was clearly earmarked that ‘Monsoon will only arrive after 27th June’.
What happened really? The great scientists of Meteorology Department had predicted that Monsoon will arrive on 10th June. Just guess the date of arrival of Monsoon. Whether it arrived on 10th June, 15th June, 20th June or 30th June? Just guess; make a wild guess.
Actually, Monsoon arrived on 28th June. Forecast was 100% accurate.  Should I celebrate and laugh? No, actually I am weeping and worried about my contribution as an Indian Citizen, in the billions of Rupees being spent on Meteorology Department. I think they should refund me my share in this expenditure. What is your opinion?
Whether I am reincarnation of Paul, the late octopus; or just borrowed some special powers from that famous Baba, who comes on TV. Nothing like these, I just prepared a horoscope as described above and did  some calculations on the basis of planetary interrelationships and movements; and lo! I got the date. So simple.
The story does not end here. All the media houses, to whom the press release was forwarded, preferred to ignore and overlook above predictions. Had this forecast been made by Meteorology Department after spending billions of Rupees, it would have grabbed Headlines or no one knows, probably it would have made breaking news.
Since forecast was made by an astrologer; since it was based on astrological principles; since not even a penny of Government or public was spent on it; it was not worth even mentioning. Why this hypocrisy on the part of media? Whom they are afraid to?
Now, an information on a serious note. I am working on a Monsoon Forecast Module, which will be able to forecast dates and quantum of Monsoon, initially state wise and at a later stage, city wise. It is my guesstimate that throughout India, at least five hundred astrologers are seriously working on the Monsoon Forecast. I request all these great scientists to come under an umbrella, in the interest of nation and humanity.
This is a mammoth exercise, which will require a lot of time, efforts and money. I also propose that AHWAAN’ (Association for Human Welfare And Awakening the Nation), a Public Charitable Trust, promoted by me, will bear the expenses in preparing such a module, until we are able to get substantial funds from any source.
There is nothing greater than HOPE. So, I am hoping and what about you?

Note: All the dates regarding dates of Monsoon as well as forecast of Meteorology Department have been taken from Times of India/ Hindustan Times Group Publications.
