Lately I've been asked by many of my friends about what this number 23 means to me..There has been a lot of speculations about it.So to end it all I'm speaking about the number 23.

First of all ,everyone likes a numeral right.Some think 7 is lucky for them,some thinks its 11 [i've got one strong believer in the umber 11. It's my friend SRK] .Likewise my favourite number is 23.I wont say it as my lucky number but I like this number.And there is one strong reason for that.As I've mentioned before in my previous posting I'm a catholic and I'm brought up as a practicing Christian. And from my childhood I'm always exposed to bible verses and if my memory is right,my grandfather [mom's father] always loved to read psalms 23 of bible and being his youngest grandchild , he always had a soft corner for me.So somehow i also liked that chapter of psalms in the old testament of bible. Anyways those who don't know the 23rd psalms, here it is....

The LORD Is My Shepherd

A psalm of David.

23

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,

for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

Besides this reason I've got another reason too.Being a strong fan of REAL MADRID C.F , the players like beckham n sneijder wore/wear the no 23 jersey which made my fondness to this no even more!!

Here are some facts about the number 23

-The film The number 23, starring Jim Carrey, is the sto ry of a man becoming obsessed with the number 23 while he reads a book of the same title that seems to be about his life. Jim Carrey named his production company JC23.


And to sum up, I'm so obsessed with this number that I'm planning to get it tattooed in my arm [sooner or later,some point in my life I will definitely do that] .
