THE NUMBER GAME

August 2006,,,My mind was doing nothing as usual.The spectrum of thoughts have never been my forte as if nature just sent me to look into its beautiful creations. My peers had so many problems....somebody was getting anxious about the results of the semester, somebody had a feud with his girlfriend,somebody had a hangover of yesterday's tequila shot.....hmmm... i tried hard to get some tensions as well,,,,but whenever i tried ,it came down as a big kick on my ass saying - " Trying to fool yourself idiot, how can ur empty mind sustain such tension",,and hence i left thinking about it.......neways skipping the dull part .lets come to the day which probably changed my life forever....i remember it was 5'th August,2006 when somehow I went to the library for somewhat reason( sorry for not remembering ).....started with reading newspaper,,could read only the sports page,then leaped into India Today,but there also could only manage to see the pics in the last page .....My eyes were searching every nook and corner for some gud stuff...searching searching searching...........WAIT....I see something......"THE NUMBER GAME"...a book with a red binding over it....dust laden...somehow it attracted me in some way. I started reading it.


FIRST PAGE- This book is not for the weak hearted. If You start Reading it, then you have to finish it.

SECOND PAGE- What is your birthdate? Chose your birthdate as your chapter number . I chose chapter 25 as my birthdate is 25'th july.

CHAPTER 25- You never realized the importance of your birthdate ...right?? Now you will. Did you know that mankind first ignited woods in 25 B.C. They used 25 sticks in it and the number of people near that ignited wood pieces were 25. What is 2+5...it is 7,the number of Pelaithamus who cut the throat of 25 brave men to get the blessings from 7 gods.With only 25 exceptions, all mammals' necks have seven bones.
It was all years of 25 be it 25 B.C, 25 A.D, 1925, 2025 ,,every year has a pattern related to it. 25 B.C saw new rise of men with fire in hand. 25 A.D The time when Jesus rose with a reincarnation. 1925- The time when rise of a new era of freedom began in the traumatized countries like India, South Africa. 2025- The time when software geeks estimate the invention of Artificial Intelligence and making of fully intelligent robots. Lord Jesus was slashed 25 times but it was 7 times (2+5) when he mumbled the name of "GOD". Every year 25 points in Antarctica gets to the lowest temperature throughout the world and 7 points among them also get the highest temperature in that continent. After every 725 years (7=2+5 and 25) the comet of baregumas hits any planet of Solar System.

There is a relation of life with you. You can be the next saviour. You can be the next maker of a new civilization. You mean something to this world. The NUMBER 25 will never be a waste.

Reading all this,, i got perturbed . I thought lets roll the pages and I switched to Chapter 26..............THERE WAS NOTHING,,,,BLANK.......I flicked the pages.... CHAPTER 30.....NOTHING...BLANK AGAIN...........MY MIND WENT NUMB and a chill went through me. I couldn't help screaming.---" SAVEEEEEEEEEEEEE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"...................
Suddenly I saw the face of the librarian in front of me along with some students glaring at me . I could clearly see on their face " PLEASE BE SILENT". I asked my friend about it,.. he said you went asleep for quite long time and maybe i had a bad dream. I looked beside me,, there was no book......no sign of it.... HOW CAN IT BE...IT HAD TO BE THERE..........

The days passed but i realized that something was there which made me realize somethings. I have a reason to live now. I know what a man is intended to do. Its not the man who is remembered by the world.....but its his deeds which are always there on the sand of time....untouched by the daunting winds.............
