'What's your sun sign?'-a conversation starter, an ice-breaker, a guessing game or just genuine curiosity that can draw strangers together.

Four words that get heard a million times, each time, sounding just as exciting! Dig deeper, and it's a statement that mirrors our underlying desire to know more about the other person and allows us the thrill of entering a mystical zone-of people's behaviours and relationships.

This witty book, without any astrological clutter, is your perfect companion to understanding your friends, family, professional associates and more importantly, your self.

You will be amazed to see how we can touch hearts, build relationships and connect with people when we speak to them about them!

He lives in Mumbai and is a certified valuer, property and finance consultant by profession. He was a columnist with The Times of India between 2005-09.

God made man and woman and she/he made them equal. This is a politically correct statement appropriate to our times. But does equality necessarily mean similarity? Of course not!

Each of us is born unique and different. This is something we all like to believe. Every one of us wants to stand out in the crowd. But if we are so unique and different what are we doing in the crowd anyways? That's simply because we need the crowd to define ourselves; to know there are others like us and to confirm that yet we are different. Haven't you asked your friends their sun sign and felt pleased if it was the same as yours? That's the underlying theme of human behaviour...the need to connect, be one with the world. After all, we are humans not snowflakes.

How can one live with such a contradiction? In fact it is this contradiction that makes one meet other people, befriend them, perhaps fall in love with them and get into a relationship. When we meet someone. we look at their outward appearance but at a subconscious level we analyse their behaviour. Ever wondered why we get along so well with a certain person, whereas we can't stand the sight of another? Where does the problem lie...with us or with the person in question? Actually there is no problem at all. We are like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle...some fit in while others don't. Our behavioural patterns are detrimental in deciding what kind of 'piece' we are.

However, culture, upbringing and social status play an important role in moulding human behaviour. These aspects can either aggravate or tone down certain personality traits in an individual.
