Numerically speaking...

This is a bit confusing post... I am warning you to escape now itself if you don't like the very idea of numbers...

Keeping the blog name as InTeGeR... I should have a word or two about integers right... and that is what I am trying to do here...

Some points about numbers and here it goes...

I am generally inclined towards odd numbers... and I am still trying to find out why... Just see if you can make out some sense from the following lines...

One... 1... Numero uno... is solid, single and supreme and being the starting point of counting... would be the fav number for many...

Two... 2... I was surprised to know that quite a few people like this number... because it brings the concept of couple? Because it is the first legal prime number... whatever... it does not figure in my fav numbers list...

Three... 3 Yet another nice number... the important thing being that it is odd... And yes, the triangle is interesting too... Could be because this odd is one more than even...

Four... 4... Squared again... we have got two twos now... a neat arrangement... but not enough to stimulate me...

Five... Odd again... the best example is the '5' on the dice... have you noticed that middle dot... Good... Though the Pentagon does not interest me too much...

Six... 6... The number of man... we are back to even but an odd even... This number becomes my fav number among single digit numbers... for reasons not related to arithmetics, geometry or any other mathemetics... You could take a guess... but there is something nice about this number...

Seven... 7... Perfect complete number... another odd one... though 7 has a good following... I consider it to be a competitor for 6... and so go on with the latter...

Eight... 8... A geometically complete number... the octagon is a nice geometical shape... I think the only even number to get my appreciation... Also understand that it is digitally complete... LED's would know that better...

Nine... 9... An odd odd.. the second square... not very fancied though...

Moving up ahead... I think I would comment on two-digits...

Prime numbers have always fancied me... and would have captured many of your imaginations...

So what is my all-time fav number? A number that happens to be considered unlucky by many... Recently discovered that it is called a lucky prime though...

And yes... it scares triskaidekaphobiacs...

It is the number 13

And so number 91 also deserves special mention as it is obtained by 13 x 7...

There are many more such great numbers... Maybe I could bore you some other time...

Till then...

Saying It...

Many a times I have faced this thing and I am sure a lot many people have faced it too... You are not able to say what you feel like saying because of the consequences...

Though a lot of people may be advising you to be a lot more open in expressing your views... it is not always possible right?

Suppose you were my friend and you found this blog to be awfully boring... how could say that to me straight? Well a close friend would have no problem saying it... I suppose... or a person could say it laughing... and I would think it was a joke...

But otherwise... how do you say bitter things that may or may not be entirely right?

Similar situations could be that a person is teaching me something very sincererly... and I nod my head to whatever he says... and I agree that I understand hoping that I will catch on as time goes... but soon I realize that person has just upped his pace and I am totally lost...

Some say that a good teacher should be able to repeat what they are saying without a frown... but what are the odds that the person belongs to that GOOD Group...

Yet another situation... A person wants to roam around with you but you are not in the mood to go out...

I could list out many more situations... but right now I am more worried in getting the solution...

A few say... yes there are some unavoidable situations in which you could risk someone misunderstanding you... so go ahead play the game... wear the mask...

Is that the answer? Maybe it is...

Are you one of the fellows who just realised about your mask... or do you feel like telling me to stop complaining and that is how it is at times...

I listen to you man... I am stopping... but just want to tell you... that it sometimes keeps me thinking... Why Why Why am I doing this...
