Karma with Karmel | A GurgaonMoms Book Club Event

A book club event, in association with GurgaonMoms and GurgaonMoms book Club, was held to unveil the book ‘Predictions 2017’ by author Karmel Nair, at Nowhere Terrace Brewpub Café, Crosspoint Mall.  The sun favored us and it was an ideal December afternoon for an event like this one. The terrace was picturesque and had a very Christmassy feeling to it. The energy was festive and completely unspoiled.

 I reached early and while I was having coffee, I kept wondering how Karmel would be like. This was her third book and honestly I was a bit jittery as I was supposed to write about the event, and her and the book. . Karmel Nair is a famous tarot card reader who has been practicing tarot for almost ten years now.   She walked in a few moments later with an explicit energy and a gleaming smile. We spoke for a few minutes and she was so comfortable and easy to talk to. She made me completely at ease.

She interacted with everyone around her effortlessly and the audience was completely bowled over. This is Karmel’s third ‘global’ book. This has been released in more than twelve countries. What is different about this book is that it not only talks about what the future has in store for you, it also talks about how you can change it.

She spoke about how each zodiac sign is unique and what are the main characteristics of each sign. She seemed to be bang on because the crowd seemed to agree with her all the time.

Without a doubt Karmel Nair is definitely the ‘Linda Goodman’ of India. She has written the book very methodically, talking about each and every sun sign. The contents are divided under love life, health, wealth and career for each zodiac for every month for the year 2017. This makes it very easy for the reader who wants to refer to any related topic.
