.Number 8 is the most wonderful number.Many people consider it as an un-lucky number.Persons born on 8,17 and 26 of any month bear birth number 8.Out of these,number 17 is believed to be highly lucky.Even traditional numerological texts do not consider 26 as lucky.But I do'nt consider so.
Number 8 is the most mystic number.It is represented by planet saturn.It has two extremes-the best and the worst,the most saintly and the red hot revolutionary.
I write this on the occasion of the birth centenary of Mother Teresa-the angel of mercy.The mother was born on August 26.Take the other end.Velupillai Prabhakaran was born on November 26!
Consider some other cases of 26.
Mao Zedong was born on December 26.
Manmohan Singh and Serena Williams were born on September 26.Hillary Clinton was born on October 26.
Finally,India's republic day is January 26!
