Do you believe in Destiny?

Earlier on, I'd blogged about having the uncanny knack for spotting vehicles that don't belong here (Karnataka). Every time I lay my eyes on a vehicle registration plate, the probablity of it being a non-karnataka vehicle is perhaps 0.8 on 1. But here's something else that has been happening for about 2-3 months now. I don't seriously know what to make of it. Sometimes, I feel it is an omen - that the world is telling me where I'd be many years down the line and sometimes I feel it is a naughty game that nature is playing with me and some other times, I feel it is just my intuitive filter that's at work. HEY, WHAT IS IT THAT I AM RAMBLING ABOUT?

Here it is - I've spotted around 15+ vehicles that have "CKO" in their registration plates. Additonally, I've also spotted 5+ vehicles that have "CKM" in their registration plates. Now, that is something to think about as a huge chunk of the Karnataka vehicles' registration plates start off with KA - for KArnataka. I don't know if what I am doing is right, but I am trying hard not to give this thing too much of importance. Anyways, what is to happen will happen! :)

Note: For those of you who are clueless about what I am saying - CKO can be expanded as Chief Knowledge Officer. CKM can be expanded as Chief Knowledge Manager. :-). Now, you know what I am talking about...don't you?

Latest update (8th Sept, 05): The count's as follows: CKO = 27+ and CKM = 17+

there are numerous psychological tests (refer Ed De Bono's 'I am right you are wrong') wherein it has been proved that if the brain has been primed towards a direction it will more easily pick up those things that match.

for example one test is about telling your mind think of Red colour - and then look around you. you will spot all red matching objects. now tell your mind blue - and look around you will pick up blue objects that you hadnt even noticed earlier!!

--- just wanted to make a scientific statement :) ---

CK* could still be your destiny & wish you all the very best for that

well we have licence plates as CKO and CKM as earlier before K stood for both Kerala and Karnataka, and they opted for C for Karnataka...

Who knew that Karnataka would later be known for C++ amongst other things
