Today is the first of September. The first day of the Write Tribe Festival of Words, which is a seven-day blog festival. And as usual, I went a little crazy and signed up for it. At a time when I shouldn’t have been busy, but as life is, things come up from everywhere. Fingers crossed, I should be able to get through it.
Now I should have planned ahead and scheduled a post well in advance. But. Old habits die-hard, I suppose. So here I am, wracking my brain for some 7 related inspiration only to realize that I am surrounded by 7s.
– My birth date, the month and the day adds up to 7.
– My birth year has 7 in it.
– My house number is a multiple of seven. And when I thought back, quite a few of the houses we lived in had house numbers of 7 or multiples of 7. Somehow it had never struck me before. And no other number made as much an appearance as 7.
– My current phone number has two 7s and so did my old number in the UK. Husband’s number has five 7s in it! I would love to tell you that my land line has 7s as well, if only I could find it! It is the most disused phone in our house. Every time I need to tell someone my land line number, I have to perform major searches and number identifying operations. It doesn’t help that I have all the landlines I ever had, stored in my contacts, under the same name. I definitely need to do some clearing up of contacts to be done!
– Daughter entered our lives and completely transformed it 7 years ago š
– My weight recorded a decrease of 0.7 kgs this morning. I have to say I was delighted, after no signs of weight loss for weeks. It is another story that I didn’t do anything that accounts for this loss, but that doesn’t stop me from celebrating:)
– I’m trying really hard to find just one more point to make it 7 points on my first 7 themed post. Looks like I will have to just give up! Unless of course, I can throw in the fact that we have seven days of the week. No? Alright then. Surely, so many other sevens in my life makes up for it, yes?
So tell me, is there any number that appears a lot in your life? I had no idea that the number 7 features so much in my life.
I am taking part in The Write Tribe Festival of Words 1st – 7th September 2013. Hop over to see more Day 1 posts.
How sweet! It is amazing how the figure 7 revolves round you. See you Smitha on all the seven days.
And I had no idea, until I started this post š See you around too š
Ah! You now have a commenter who lives in house no. 77 š
Welcome here š Nice!
My birth date adds up to 7. Somehow I love the number 7 š
Yours as well š I had no special affinity for the number, and was really amazed that it seems to be around me, quite a bit š
7 surely seems to be extra magical for ya š
cool random post for the day. I too forget my landline no !!!
its a pain in ass to remember any no.. The only 7 I can think of is about the post each day š¦ still not planned any thng š
lookng fwd to read u
good day
I just about remember mine and husband’s. The mobile phones have made us lazy, haven’t they? I wouldn’t have remembered mine, if I didn’t have to give it so many people for all sorts of official purposes. Looking forward to reading you as well – I really liked your take on the theme -totally different.
For me, it’s number 6! A number I positively don’t like is number 8, no idea why. Agree with not remembering phone nos, technology makes us use our brains lesser.
š I have a lot of number six in my life too now that I think of it. You hate 8:) I’m neutral to numbers in general.
Like the light-hearted tone of your writing! See you on all seven days, Smitha!
Thanks Radha and welcome here:)
Phone number start with Seven. Cool Seven:)
Welcome here, Vishalbheeroo
wow! series of coincidences surrounding 7. It looks like you are 7’s favorite child. I too cant remember my landline no. I see generally the number 8 surrounding me.
š So you are 8’s favourite child š Welcome here, Preetilata!
So many Sevens. Coincidence!
And my mobile number also starts with 77…
I know! And I was completely unaware of it!
Nut you are are… Smiths.. š Well my life is revolved around the number 3 and 9 the most, but my connection to 7 is that one darling Mom, was born on the 7th day of a month.. and I am absolutely thrilled about her, therefore the number as well š I once had a phone number with 7 nines in it and people asked me how much I had paid for it .. š
Pins š
That I am, Vaayadi Pennu:) I am yet to come to yours. Will do tomorrow. Sundays are busier than weekends here!
This was a delightful post š
The most common number in my life is 2!!!!
Lookinf forward to these 7 days!! I am sure u will manage well !
Thanks Smita:)
wow, that’s a pretty impressive series of coincidences!! Congrats on the weight loss! š
Thanks Roshni, I do hope I can keep losing weight till I reach my ideal:)
I counted the commenters before me and hoped that I was no. 7 or 17 or 27… š
So many 7s in your life… amazing. Even our landline is the most unused phone and even I dont remember the home number… have to scroll in the contacts list, always… the best part is that, for some unknown reasons, I have stored the earlier landlines as Home Jammu, Home Jodhpur, Home Jaipur… though the landlines at Jammu and Jodhpur have been de-activated ages ago… š
Lol! Home phone numbers have become totally redundant these days haven’t they? I have a lot of deletes to do too:)
Actually, there is one scenario where I still need it. If I misplace my mobile. Then I use the landline to call it and locate it š
That’s a lot of sevens, I must say! š
Woah! So many 7s in your life! 7 does seem to be a special number for you! š
Good luck with the challenge!
you know why 10 is afraid of 7? Becuase 7 ate (eight) 9..gah! what a dumb joke..loved the 7s in your life..guess Amma Appa would come up with the same number as the frequent one in their lives..lived in 7 number wala houses, vehicle registrations had seven in them..yaada yaada
I knew this joke,thanks to daughter:)
