08/08/08

Recently, I read an article about the upcoming Olympic games in China. The inaugration ceremony is planned on 8th August 2008 at 8 minutes and 8 seconds past 8. So, in all it makes a wonderful combination of 8/8/8/8/8/8. I like the Chinese for their way of doing things. They have ensured that this will stand out and brand this olympics. The efforts on their part for the games has been great as well. They have taken steps to ensure all facilities, keep pollution in check and so on.
I am not too sure if the Chinese have planned this based on numerology but I have heard that the number 8 is associated with extremes(either extremely good or disastrous). Going by that the Olympics will be either a GRAND SUCESS or a disaster. I wish that it turns out to be the former and Asia gets to host more and more events of International Recognition.
Another event as far as Indian movie buffs are concerned is the release of " SINGH IS KINNG" which is also on the 8th of August i.e 08/08/08 . If you go by the fate associated with 8 , this film will be either a Blockbuster or a dismal one. Again , I hope it is the former and going by the title, I am sure all my " Singh" friends would flock to their nearest multiplexes and ensure that it is a super success.
The eternal optimist that I am, I would wish well for both the events and hope that they attain unparelleled success.
