I walk into McD today with my friend, placed the order and sat down, waiting for our order number to be called in. Guess what our order number was, 296. This took me back to days when I used to have too many encounters with number 96. Whats weird or funny, the other order numbers were 198, 199, 202, 203 etc. Couple of months I decided to note down all the 96 co-incidences and write a blog, and finally here it is. I have changed the content a little.
Surprisingly, the number of encounters with 96 reduced in last two months, when I was intentionally looking out for them. So the events - I realised that one of my good office friend has 96 in his extension number. There was two proto vehicles in office and one of them had 96 in the number plate. It was a rare encounter with that vehicle, generally you don't get to see proto vehicles. My friends birthday cake cost 960. I saw a video about a cyclist and he had a cadence 96. From somewhere I landed on Athens 1 km record - 1:00:896. 96 is special for me, 896 is like blessing. I have encountered numerous 896s too, and so this record by someone is special for me.
These are the events I thought of capturing. There were other 96 incidences too, but the above examples are the ones with least probability of occurring and yet they occurred with 96. I am not sure about the exact year when I started noticing 96, but I used to notice it in college. Next I will just write down some of the most memorable co-incidences that I cherish about 96.
My best friends college ID had number 96. Once she sent me a pic of an object with some book in the background and that book was open to page 96. There were so many 896 number noted that I received throughout my life, I just don't take much note of the note numbers now. My GATE percentile had 9 and 6 separated by a decimal. I don't recall much from 2013 and back, but I do recall some recent ones.
My flatmate bought a car in Chennai and it had number 96 in it. My office drawer key has number 96. I met a friend online recently and her birth year has 96. One of first major loadcase in office which I worked on had number 96 (AIS:096). There is an auto quiz in Mahindra every year and I participated this year. The system randomly generates a numeric password and our team's password ended with 96. We cleared two online rounds and third round was in Mumbai. Co-incidently my room number there had 96 in the end, boy I knew it that this is some good sign and we have a good chance of winning and we eventually won :) My favorite player Rahul Dravid made a debut in 1996. This is all I recall as of now.
Most of my friends know about my obsession about 96 as they have been a part of it in some way or other. Please share any incident that I might have forgot. I am yet to find out the true connection of 96 and me. I thought that my connection with 96 is fading away, but suddenly the McD bill - 296. I am sure de-coding the CODE 96 will help me to understand myself and my destiny more clearly.
Thank You for reading till end! I appreciate it :)
