Experts make predictions at very high rate, but unfortunately, very few end up being true. Like you said, this will definitely be an eye opener for all of us. @ Pranita Ralla,

By keeping track of predictions made by the pundits/astro's or other famous ppl is a good way to know how foolish some people can get by believing in just anything that is said. This, in fact, can be an eye opener for people who still believe in predictions, rather than themselves. Predictions are not always true, some just click by chance. I think we need to keep track to save people from building dreams in the air, who end up not putting in any efforts to change things themselves, rather just wait for things to happen as predicted. Good stuff, Swati. This site makes a lot of sense.
