    When did numbers start giving me a high?

    If I remember vaguely,It was after my report card in Class 2 or three when I got a 1st rank...The smile on teachers face ,the claps while the card was handed out and the kind pat I recieved from my ever frowning Princi...all made me associate No 1 with something herculean! (Queerly Mom never reacted euphorically....dunno why?Maybe it was a day when all her numbers went wrong!)

    But this number craze never made me anything that resembled a Math whiz!

    But so many numbers did make my adrenalin gush ...only some numbers gave highs at some stage of my life!

    Cricket scores...sixers...fours...centuries...ducks...

    Shedding a Kilo or that extra inch round my waist!!!(even today)

    The numbers in my bank passbook (only when it is healthy ...rather a bit overweight...and that never happens!!!!!!!!)

    I love to track the numbers on the Sensex and the Nifty...all thro the day,I love to surf channels now and then to see if the arrow is northwards or southwards and my heart sinks every time the numbers nosedive and it skips a beat whenever it rallies northwards....

    People who watch me think I trade actively!
    How wrong they are!!!!
    Maybe I watch it faithfully because I love clicking numbers...

    And the tension ,when I await my blood test results -and to see my sugar levels are within tolerable limits in spite of my binge trip-they are the sweetest numbers I have ever seen in my life!

    The ever growing numbers of rare coins in my collection and the number ofGaneshas in my collection-make me smile with pride...

    The fancy number plates of speeding vehiches attract me more than the model of the car !!!!

    the look at ticking numbers on my treadmill which says I have covered 3 Kms and have burnt 200 calories -send me to 7th heaven(see,number again)

    Why even the number of Likes I recieve in IL lights up my face ...

    I sometimes feel that number counts not only gives joy -but also builds up stress and anxiety-that is when I have set myself unrealistic goals-but atleast the lust for numbers push me nearer to my goal....In that way numbers fuel me too...in a positive way....
