free soft ware ,narsimha and gopal views

[Guest guest]

congrats and truly appreciate the effort. of course many people will have fears

that soft ware programme for money will not sell. this is not true at all.

first of all every thing happens due to karma there is no competition, secondly

people who go to astrologer who take fees and those who do it free. both

survive. new parameters like better presentation adding more dashas ,making it

user friendly ,more features will determine the sales.new permutation and

combination will emerge. people buy local coconut oil and also branded once

even though they are expensive. there are many layers in market and u have

catered to a particular segement. there will be always some kind of fear doubt

critisum. u will remembered in the world of jyotish for this special gesture in

the long years to come. this kind gesture has brought mixed reactions from many

people shock happiness pessimisumcritisum .please do carry on the good work. (

the entire letter

is written in good sense any parallel drawn is for examples and not literal or a put down)
