SLUMDOG NO UNDERDOG !   KAPIL DEV AND A R REHMAN BOTH BORN ON 06/01, BOTH NAMES ADD TO 3 BROUGHT INTERNATIONAL GLORY! 9 MATCHES WON IN A ROW, 9 OSCARS! If Aamir Khan gives the Indian Award ceremonies a royal slip, he does show exactly the same fervor while chasing the Big Oscar dream; India did silence its critics in a huge way by sweeping 9 Oscars, so did the Numbers game have anything to do with it? Says Numerologist Sanjay B Jumaani ‘India adds to 3, Bharat to 6 and 3, 6, 9 are a family of Numbers. 3, 6 and 9 have played an important role in the progress of our beloved nation. Sample this: the year we got Independence, 1947=3; the date 15th Aug {15=6}. We won the elusive World Cup in 1983 {1983=3} with # 6 captain Kapil Dev {06/01} whose name adds to 3. Exactly 24 years later {24=6} we won the Twenty-20 World Cup, in the year 2007 {9}. And that too on a 24th {6}. Man of the Match, Irfan Pathan is a # 9 {27/10} sporting Jersey # 63 at our behest. India just concluded a winning streak of 9 matches in a row! {5/0 Eng, 4/0 SL} At war, we were victorious in the years 1947, 1965, 1971 which added to 3, 3 and 9 respectively! During Kargil, two very strategic points were recaptured {Point 5203} on June 21, {3} and Khalubar, July 6 {6}. Recently, on 12th Jan {3}, in the 66th {3} Golden Globe Awards, we achieved the distinction of winning a few Awards; Slumdog Millionaire adds to 63 {9} and A R Rehman, a # 6 {like Kapil Dev, 06/01 again, whose name also adds to 3!} made India proud. A R Rehman debuted with Roja in his 27th year which adds to 9, in 1992 which adds to 3 again !! Inspiration behind A R Rehman composing Jai Ho is a fellow No 6 like him Subhash Ghai {24th Jan} ! Freida Pinto is a No 9, born on 18-10-1984 and was in her 24th year when she did Slumdog. 24=6 again ! Despite having a very small role, she capitalized the most, as her name is spelt on a very powerful number. Anil Kapoor is a # 6 too {24/12}. It was shot in Mumbai which adds to 18. The name of the lead hero, Dev Patel adds to 36 {9}. ‘Jai Ho’, the song which became a rage adds to 15, or 6. India swept 9 Awards totally {8 Slumdog, 1 Smile Pinki}; it was the 81st Academy Awards. {81=9}. Smile Pinki adds to 33, or 6! 3 of the people who contributed immensely have followed Numerology Suggestions made by Jumaani, and they are Irrfan, Anil Kapoor and Longinus {Choreographer of Oscar winning track, Jai Ho!}. Recession is playing on the minds too, and as we enter the year 2009 with new hopes and aspirations for the coming year, we are leaving behind bitter memories of the year gone by. Not only were we traumatized by the happenings in Mumbai, but the financial capital also jolted us with the huge crash in the stock markets. We are in our 62nd year of Independence and 62= 8, Saturn, Shani which takes trials, tribulations. By now most of us are aware {and wary} of dates adding to # 8, what with  the devastating Bhuj Earthquake on 26/01; the Tsunami that took so many lives on 26/12; 26+12+2004=8 too! Then there was the massive quake in Pakistan & Srinagar which claimed over 60,000 lives on 08/10; Mumbai floods {26/07}, Godhra tragedy {26/02}, Malegaon Blasts {08/09}, Kargil, 08/05, Ahemedabad Blasts {26/07} and the recent terror attacks in Mumbai {26/11} which lasted for 62 hours! {62=8} We would remain in this 62nd year up to mid August so it would be wishful to expect better times till 15th August, when we enter our 63rd year {63=9} which could be a far better period, more especially in 2010 {2010=3 like 1947 & 1983}, we could expect better times as 9 and 3 would coincide. Another good thing is that we recently entered our 60th {60=6} Republic year, and though the date is 26th, the compound added up to 6 {26+01+1950=6}. This could auger well for us as 6 of Venus represent love, peace, harmony and progress. Jai Hind!
