If you want to write something positive about Indian heritage,I hope you can find something else other than Vastu Voodoo.

Since I am involved in the building trade I was a first hand witness to the lunatic practice of walls,structural elements and sometimes whole buildings being demolised by people right from chief ministers to industrialists on the advise of some barely literate witch doctors.When the rest of the world including Europe and the States have been doing fine without this mumbo jumbo for the past few thousand or hundred years, why are you promoting this pseudo science in the name of Vedic Science.Vastu was invented in the days when people believed that the Earth was balanced on the back of a turtle and there were gods and goddesses living on top of the himalayas and on the moon.
