These days many people are talking of Vaastu-shastra and even following it. New houses are being built keeping vaastu specifications in mind. However, it is not always possible to make major changes in our homes, so I have seen many people follow the basic tips. I came across some of these simple and easy tips while flipping through this year's Hindu almanac... *Always keep a small mirror in your money box to ensure financial prosperity. * Do not keep knives and scissors in the dining area to avoid quarrels in the family. *While taking bath, face North. This will give you energy. *A dark storeroom in the house can cause eye problems. *Always keep the main entrance well-lit for peace of mind. *If there is cracking sound while opening the main door, this indicates monetary loss. *To avoid health problems, do not keep medicines in the kitchen. *Ensure that there is no leakage in your taps to avoid financial problems. *Open dust-bins and brooms in the kitchen cause illnesses.
