36 and going on........

Numbers are strange. They can be frightening at times. There are numbers we hold on to and there are numbers which we long for but will never get. From the day we were born, we were given numbers and we are still accumulating them. I can give you the whole lot of MY numbers......"36, is how old i am, 510, is the plate number of the car I used to drive, 19, is the number of years I still have to slog my ass off to pay off that house, 2.5 is the number of years I still have in this foreign land.........". I have some friends who are frightened by their own numbers lately. Not only did it frighten 1 particular friend, it shook his family as well. It was as if the numbers werent frightening enough, that the family had to add more to it. "3" was the number of times the family had arranged for him match making gatherings. But he absconded the 3rd meeting, having learned from the past 2 experiences.

Will there ever be a number which we are comfortable with?........
