1) People like to believe things that make them feel good about
themselves or gives them hope so it becomes easy for astrologers to
manipulate them and make false promises so that the client stays In
spite of technological progress and being netizens of the
twenty-first century,human beings are largely superstitious, they
may not have blind faith in astrologers anymore but all their
rationalism and empiricism disappears when they are told something
that they want to listen to People have become more aspirational
and narcissistic than ever before and astrologers gleefully exploit
these factors to continue making a comfortable living off them
2) 
In the
story, Ranga's
Marriage,
the English language serves as a form of currency to gain social
standing in the village due to its novelty factor There were not
many people who had command over the language and those who did
know English,used the language as a means to show off their
economic and social superiority over others English has becomes the
language of the masses nowadays but initially, the knowledge of
English was considered to be a prized possession and people used to
be in awe of those who knew the language This fascination with
English indicates a colonial hangover,an obsession of the natives
to master the language of the British and continuation of the
unequal relationship between the colonizers and the colonized Usage
of English words in common parlance or people studying abroad are
hardly a cause for surprise nowadays but the situation was
different earlier on However,the narrator cannot understand this
element of awe attached to the language He seems to reprimand those
who put people on a pedestal just because they know a foreign
language It seems gimmicky to him and an extremely pretentious act
on the part of the English
speakers
