My Connection with '8'

When I look up at numbers, the Hindu-Arabic numerals(0-9) I have always wondered "What do you people mean??What is the evolution of numbers??" But all of a sudden I was struck with the question, "How do the numbers relate to humans?? individuals??" to which I found a rather bizarre and shocking answer..!This is how I found My Connection to the number 8 (eight)..!!
When I searched the Wiki for '8' it listed the history of 8 beginning with its involvement in Maths to the various other fields in which it is referred as in culture,astronomy,music,sports..!! The info from wiki is pretty interesting. What interests me most is the role that this number has played in my life, rather 'playing' in my life!
Apart from the strange fact that I am born on Oct 9th rather than Oct 8th,( which doesnt make any difference since I celebrate both dates :) )everything else in my life seem to be in 'line' with '8'.Since I do not have any solid proof from my childhood regarding '8' (which Iam very sure would have existed) I started up investigating with my 10th std mark sheet. And Voila..!!I was right. Let me walk you through "My Journey With Eight" :)
1.My register number for 10th std public exam was 891944 which totals to '8'. I was suppose to have got 891945 but the tragic death of a girl from my class(Manjula) tossed me into this number. You may think "whats so strange in this??! Well read on..;)
2.My second material was my 12th mark sheet.What a shocker or maybe as you think a "coincidence" that my 12th exam register number was 465506 which even totals to 8.
Ok.. what else??
3.My college was listed as the 8th college in 2006(when I completed 12th) TN counselling book.
4.And now, My TCS employee ID is (****55)( sry cant reveal :) ) which even totals to 8.:)
5.And most importantly, my future is with 8..!:) My frnds will know the true meaning of this..:)
You may still say its a coincidence, Yeah..maybe..but its more than a mere coincidence for me..
I strongly believe that every number relates to every individual in one way.. or the other..!Its upto us to find out..Well! that's my "Number" story..whats yours???:);)
