THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Just blink and you will miss it. But Keralites are trying to make the maximum use of the auspicious halo attached to 11.11.11 am/pm on 11.11.11 (Friday, November 11, 2011), when the time and date will be a perfect same-numbered palindrome. The importance of the number in numerology has cast a spell on many Keralities, who are planning purchase of vehicles, important functions and land deals while even doctors admit that would-be parents are requesting for delivery of babies on the day.“For a month, we have been getting requests from customers for delivery of vehicles this Friday. We have 20 cars queued up for customers which is on the higher side compared to any other day,” said Biju Pal, product manager, Indica Vista of Kulathunkal Motors here. The phenomenon is the same for two-wheeler dealers in the city.The Regional Transport Office is also gearing up for a busy day on Friday as they anticipate a heavy rush for new vehicle registrations. Doctors in hospitals here are getting requests from would-be parents for a planned Caesarian on Friday. “What is more shocking is that a would-be parent asked if it is possible to carry out Caesarian at 11.11 am on 11.11.11,” said a gynaecologist of a private hospital.Those who are about to purchase land also have joined the party as the event of 11.11.11 can only happen once every 100 years. “I never attached any importance to it but it somehow dawned upon me that the seller was interested on it, said Ashokan, a businessman from Kottarakara. It is the same with Ashwathy Vijayan, an NRI who is planning to sign a deal on Friday to purchase a house in Vattiyoorkavu here.So what is so auspicious about the number other than it being same-numbered palindrome, reading the same backward and forward. Ask none other than Thiruvananthapuram District Collector, M Nandakumar who is known for his numerological expertise. “The date is considered to be auspicious and in numerology, number 11 comes in the Karmic belt. In numerology, 11/11/11 is a good day for the purchase of anything new. The number 11 signifies adamant nature which helps one pursue and realise a goal,” he said.
