Sundaran as Prophet

 Introduction Mind-Reading is a superpower that most of you might believe you do possess, but you (most likely) don't! It is when you make some judgement or conclusion from another person's conversation, gestures or body language. This leads you to make totally baseless assumptions about people. Oh, he thinks I'm ugly, she thinks I'm boring, they don't want me around.
