Astrologers have predicted mixed fortunes for the state in 2006.

HYDERABAD: Astrologers have predicted mixed fortunes for the state in 2006.
According to them, the one section one can look forward is the student community. More students from AP are expected to land up in professional colleges like IITs, IIMs, AIEEE, AIIMS, JIPMER and BITS in 2006.
Performance of the students from here in engineering entrance examinations will be particularly good.
They will also perform well in Civil Services examinations and CAT, says Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam temple astrologer Tangirala Prabhakara Purnaiah Siddanthi.

Artists from the state will get national acclaim. But for sportspersons, 2006 seems to be not too promising, he said. The astrologer added the twin cities will see a lot of development and real estate prices will shoot up.
On the weather front, the state will receive moderate rainfall and the twin cities will not face water shortage in 2006. But in June, July and August, many people might suffer from seasonal fevers.

On the downside, the state might witness one or two earthquakes of 5 to 7 magnitude in Richter scale in the second half of the year.
Moreover, tsunami kind of disaster might strike Prakasam and nearby coastal districts in the same period, the TTD temple astrologer told the Sunday Times of India.

At least one country would disappear from the world map due to a possible tsunami. South East Asian countries will suffer from earthquakes while several north American countries will experience rough climatic conditions, he added.
According to Srisailam temple astrologer Pandit Butte Veerabhadra Daivajna, crime rate in the state is unlikely to escalate. But the movement for a separate state for Telangana will gain momentum this year.
"There is a significant possibility of the Telangana movement turning violent in 2006. Students in large numbers, particularly engineering students, might veer towards the movement," he said.
The state will not be bifurcated this year, but the chances of Telangana people getting a separate state are bright either in 2007 or 2008, he said.

The year 2006 will be good for chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy. He will have a smooth sailing despite facing minor problems from TRS, TDP and the communists.
"Reddy will strengthen his position, but he will be unhappy with the pace of irrigation works. He has to be vigilant about his health as well," Daivajna said.
For Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, 2006 seems to be not that good as his government will be mired in corruption charges. Besides, the UPA government will face a no-confidence motion in October or November, he said.
