PABA’S POWERFUL HOROSCOPE

Paba’s mother reveals over an interview that she possesses ‘Raja Yoga’:
Member of Parliament Upeksha Swarnamali popularly known as ‘Paba’ is supposed to possess ‘RajaYoga’ in her horoscope. It has been predicted in her horoscope and it is to become more powerful and in time it is bound to become more and more powerful. It had been revealed by her mother at an interview she has had with the ‘Sarasaviya’ paper very recently. What she disclosed at the interview is as follows:

 PABA WHO NEVER REALISED WHAT RAIN WAS?
“Baby’s major childhood was spent in Kuwait aney…….I forgot to tell that we call ‘Baby’ to Paba at home. As everyone in aware Kuwait is a dry country mostly devoid of any rain. It is like seen a ‘hare’ in the moon in Sri Lanka. We usually come to Sri Lanka only during ‘Paba’s school holidays. She came to visit Sri Lanka only when she was only three years old. At that time she had not been able to speak in ‘Sinhala’. One day she had screamed that water was pouring, which she had not seen before. When I came out running to see why she was screaming. Then only I found that it was raining and she had got astonished in seen the rain. This was the first time she had seen a rain fall.

MOTHER WAS HIT BY THE TEA POT:
She said ‘Paba’ was very interesting in her young days. She was not at all a disobeying child and behaved very well and was not naughty. She never allowed removing the tea pot. When I requested to remove it she never allowed it. But she said ah…Ammi do not wash it. I will do it. I cannot refrain telling something about her school.
PABA WENT TO SCHOOL IN HER NIGHT DRESS:
She had a bad habit when she was small. She always got up late and got up at the last moment before going to school. One day she had slept until late, but hurriedly dressed up and proceeded to school.
At school she had noticed that her uniform had bloated up. Then only she had realized that had in a hurry worn her school uniform above the night dress.
HOW PABA EAT PAPADAM AT 2 A.M IN THE MORNING:
She possessed one bad habit. It is that if she needed something she somehow wanted it. The mother too always obliged with whatever she wanted. She says she is responsible for this habit. One day she had wanted to eat ‘Papadams’ at 2 A.M. in the morning had forced her mother to prepare. As she did not have ‘papadams’ at home, her mother’s brother had contacted a nearby ‘Mudalali’ and obtained the ‘papadams’ and had made and given her to eat. If this was not given she would not have spared anyone in the house.

HOW PABA ESCAPED DEATH BY 99%
The mother said that Paba was her life and she did everything for her. According to her, her life revolves around her. However once for a moment I thought I might lose her. One day I really got a shock when I drove in Kuwait with Paba. I was driving and Paba was in the front seat. Before I could get down she opened the front door and started to get down. Luckily I saw from the side mirror a water dowser was nearing her. With correct decision she in a flash not even within a second drew her back in to the car. The escape was very narrow.
PABA’S ‘RAJA YOGA’:
She says however I am not that unfortunate. I did all my duties towards her. She possesses ‘Raja Yoga’. From her younger days I wanted her to become a very popular personality in this country. To date she is a very popular actress and a Member of Parliament. She has developed as a popular personality. Nevertheless she is still ‘Baby’ to me.
