That's Odd...

I was lying on the bed, thinking about what to for the rest of the day. Well, I had just woken up at 2:30 after having put a nite-out. Had been chatting with friends, read a little bit of LOTR (started again for the second time), caught an early morning episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S on Zee English, I was in a state of half asleep and half awake, and these are the times I have realised, when the mind is the least sluggish. It races from one thought to another at an amazing speed.

Anyways, there I was, lying on the bed, eyes half shut all kindsa thoughts running in my mind, when suddenly this struck me. Imagine a fast moving car screeching to a halt if you will!
There are seven notes in the saptaswaras (yeah yeah, i know, its called so because there are 7 notes!). But that's not the point.

There are seven colors(basic) in the light spectrum, the VIBGYOR.

There are nine Navarasas.

There are five Panchabhootams.

There are three sub-atomic particles ( I mean the E, the P and and the N).

And there is the holy trinity, the holy trimurti...

Why are they all odd numbers??!! Don't take me for a crazy person, I am known to be a little wierd now and then, but this has been in my mind throught the whole day y'day and today.

hmmm....

after going thru ur post, even i thot da....for quite sum time

couple,twins,dozen,the number of vedas, spacing between leap years, charges(+ & -),number classification(even and odd!),number of eyes,ears,limbs,kidneys,Tom & Jerry....and the ultimate solution "42" too is even!!!!

moral of the story-Keep urself busy. Let's talk constructive.Which season of friends? oh! number of friends? -5,an odd number. u win!but again, there were '10' seasons in all..........

@ nivy & bharat - i know, no big deal and yes, more constructive crap in the future.

@ bharat - no idea what the ultimate solution '42' is.
but, no of friends - 6. not 5.
i liked the Tom & Jerry :)
but again, my actual (stupid) wonderment here was almost evreything is even, why are these things odd?!

yanyways...waste of time!

AJB said...

btw nivy, i dont understand the point u are trying to make with the 'pink' analogy...other than the obvious one.
I tend to think there's some other hidden meaning in whatever u say here in the blog world nivy! :P
