Hello,
I am intrigued by a few things, how d you calculate all these things for different places, so you use some software? And sometimes, your answers are really great, you tell date and time and even rephrase the answer and sometimes, it blunt, as an example, you might write, see earlier reply.

You are a student of Sanatan Dharma, so are you living in a gurukul and learning?

I am just little curious, it is my life and profession curiosity.

Apart form this, I had requested you to give me a date and time to move into my new flat at the end of February, you gave me the date 18th Feb, but no time and I wish you had told about the time too and any time at the end of Feb from 25th onwards.

Well, even if I do not get the reply, I have to say whatyou are doing is impressive.

I wish you all the best and good luck too, although you can to an extent, figure out the things on your own.

Thank you again.
Regards
S

Guruji,
Kripya waqt bhi bata den, main teesri baar yeh prashan pooch rahee hoon. 18 Feb ko kis waqt main apne naye grah main pravesh karoon. Main apne umar baar baar likh ke aapko aur pareshaan nahin karna chahti.
Dhanyawaad pichle pooche hue prashnon ke uttar ke liye aur agle uttar ke liye agar mujhe uttar milta hai to, arna aap ke karyaa ke liye hi dhanywaad.
