Not long ago, the chief minister of Tamil Nadu state, the former actress Jayalalitha, decided to add an extra “a” to the end of her name because a numerologist told her that the new spelling would be beneficial to her turbulent political career. She promptly went on to win an election in her state, lost the next one, and now is back in power again.
不久前，泰米尔纳德邦首席部长昔日女星亚拉利塔（Jayalalitha）决定在名字后面加上一个“a”，因为算命师告诉她新拼法可能对她动荡的政治事业有所帮助。她立即在本邦选举中获胜，紧接着输给对手，现在又重新把权力掌握在手中。
