Astrology. That is not Shanker’s alibi to while away lazy hours, it is his preferred passion - a passion that fell his way in childhood, a zeal that he picked from his father. As a child Shanker often saw his father, a bureaucrat-astrologer, scrambling with dates and numbers on a horoscope; he often sat at his father's feet as he flipped through books to unravel the mysteries of human lives and existence; while boys his age were fiddling with cars and machines, Shanker sat hours to partake in intellectual debates about the futility and paradoxes of life that his father had with his friends and fellow astrologers. 

The esoteric so fascinated Shanker that he studied astrology to become a Jyotishacharya. As word spread, Shanker’s weekends started getting crowded, friends sought solace and answers, strangers knocked his doors for ways to mollify an irate planet. The more he delved, the more astrology intrigued him. He perused his personal library of 3,000 books trying to cull wisdom from ancient scriptures and musings of sages. And the more he studied the more he felt the need to share his knowledge with others - a need that has resulted in nine path-breaking books on astrology.
