Numbers..... Numbers...... Numbers......

This is a mail I wrote on the KVMAA forum on 5th April......... enjoy........ Given my penchant for numbers, I have always been interested in watching what the numbers say. Even though not a fan of numerology as such esp for prediction of future etc, I have been stuck over last few years by personality traits and behavioural patterns of people and could see a broad correlation. Of course, I am yet to test the robustness of the model but this is derived from several personal experiences with people. So here goes a few tips..... Methodology: I base my analyses on 2 parameters - the birth date per se which is say DD. So if u are born on 2nd, u are a 2. If u r born on 13th, ur a 4 (1+3), if it is 25th then u are a 7 (2+5). The second parameter is what is called the Fadic or "life-path" number derived from the full date of birth : DD-MM-YYYY. This case, the Fadic number is the sum of all digits, i.e., D+D+M+M+Y+Y+Y+Y. So if u are 02-10-1869 then you are 0+2+1+0+1+8+6+9 = 27 =>

I see so many articles in the papers over the last 2 weeks andsmile..... smile a satisfied man with a bit of a "I told you so...."pride. In December '08, when the World was in deep throngs of agony and some prophets were predicting that the end could be nearer than anticipated, this author was solidly maintaining that things would be different for this country (India) in particular and we would see a turn around in 2nd half of 2009. When our Country Head asked me on Jan 1st of this year how do I think Q1 (Jan - Mar '09) would pan out, I told him "tongue in cheek" thatour businesses would finish only slightly below budget but would show a growth of 10% over Q1-08. He was incredulous and told me to be careful not to be too positive and these were unprecedented times and he, in his career, hadn't seen anything like this before and had seen at least 5 downturns in the past. I, as is my wont, stuck to my"contra" guns. But...... I was wrong and we

A dedication to the class of '80 - some class this.....

Where every assorted organism an entity, Where guys were rough and gals all pretty. . Hydras, horses, mammoths in this jungle, Gorillas and savages provided ever the jingle. . Ostriches, puppies, purugus, but no enemity, As always was Granny, reminding of propriety. . Walk free in this forest, so easy to mingle, Still, P' lus and aalus chose to remain single. . Was a River Under the Bridge for the thirsty, Ran out one fine day, spoiling all the party. . While chibu n chimpu eternally in a wrangle, Spongies n specsies provided another angle, . Roy A n Roy J made up for stories and levity, "Gandhi" showed the way towards probity, . Oh! What a class of perfections and bungle, Always stood by each other in every tangle. . Proud are we to be this great class of '80, But remain always at heart, first a Mighty. . Now, teachers, bankers, captains n colonels, Our own Meighty banner of stars and spangle. . Sreeram ('80)
