In the story of ch 3 snapshot Class 11, the author takes a dig at astrologers and has put forward their other side. The narrator teaches an astrologer what he needs to say to Ranga so that he agrees to marry Ratna. When the narrator took Ranga to the astrologer, he studied his stars saying astrology is an ancient science and made some calculations so that Ranga does not turn suspicious. Then he abided by what the narrator had taught him and promised his relationship with Ratna would be successful. Later he explained to the narrator that he would have understood it from Ranga’s stars as well. This shows that they suggest based on hearsay more than their actual calculations.
