Panditai....

Not that I am getting my car tomorrow, but still even if I do, i cannot take delivery cos of some inauspiciousness in these 2 days - amavasya or whatever, my car has headlights to provide for light not provided by the moon. But still....

But as per learned men, i need to wait till 5th, auspicious. Ok, fine. Jahan itna ruke hain....

The colour of the car ideally would have been black. But some learned man insisted dark colours don't suit me and its just good luck that the premium colour is available, else we would have had 3 silver colour vehicles. (i am quite a showoff na?)the same logic was applied in bike purchase. The seat covers are also not completely black, black and grey.
Ok.

A friend of mine believes in numbers affecting us. So if the total of all digits in your registration number equals 8, its not considered good. If its 7, awesome. 1 is also considered good - by pure chance, the reg numbers of my bike (8740) and dad's car (3889) both add up to 1.He told that to the dealer as well. When she was about to send the file to RTO she calls me and asks if I want her to instruct RTO to make sure the number dsnt add up to 8. It will cost 3k. I say no. Then she asks if u want your lucky number 1. I said 'madam, if i spend money to get a certain number, its already causing me a loss, to kidhar ka lucky, will you please let the number come up as per sequence?" (though if it comes up 1 once again, i'l pay next time onwards just to keep the trend going). Felt quite happy about it, that finally decided something about the car, when in fact all i decided was that i'll do nothing about the number! No pandit, numerologist or palmist or parrotist for that matter will decide tha..... So lets see what comes up....

So after all this the car may come home in a day or 2. Parking is still a dicey issue but worst case i'll go and sleep in the car!

But 3 more days...... I hate pandits (irrespective of the fact that, on paper at least, i am one)
