Q. I have a flat in Guwahati. But presently, I am working in Mumbai in a public sector company and will not retire till 2032. I am not sure about the vaastu of my flat. Will it affect me as I am facing some trouble in my job?

Ans. The vaastu of your flat at Guwahati will affect only those who are residing in it. It is like the risk of the passengers who are riding a car irrespective of its owner. For your problems in Mumbai, get your present house and office checked for vaastudefects.
