• Transformers, generators, motors, boilers, furnaces, oil -engines etc. should be kept in South-East or southern portion of the plot/building.

• Except rose and a few medicinal ones, all thorny plants give rise to tensions in the environment. Plants exuding white sap should also be kept off.  Lime, orange etc. are all right in an orchard but not in residence or business premises.
