Coincidence or mysticism

The numbers 3, 6 and 9 have always been hovering around me throughout my life. I keep bumping into them all the time. Is there anything such as numerology? Are there lucky numbers, lucky letters, or lucky gems? People go through the hassle of changing their names, Ms. Kapoor keeps digging for 'k' worded-serials and some pop a bright blue turquoise on their fingers just to keep Lady Luck with them. But does the Lady Luck have such preferences? Or is it all just pre-ordained fate and pre-written destiny?

At this point in my life, the number 3 seems to be shadowing me. 
33 years - Jignesh has walked on this face of Earth.
30 years - I have.
3 years - Anushka is in her terrible three's.
3 months - Raahil has been around.

Now, is this a mere coincidence that we all are in our '3s', or is there some mysticism surrounding us?

Right from the floor I lived on, to the number of my car, my graduation certificate number, the birthdates of my family - and friends, everything has had my 'so-called' lucky numbers. There have been few dates and numbers which are not 3, 6 and 9, but that is something I can count on my fingers. The other significant figures have been innumerable, too innumerable to list. 

Well, whatever the case, one part of my heart says to believe in it, coz that kinda gives a sparkle to our life, a ray of hope, a somewhat-reliable expectation. But of course it is important to tread on the sands with an open mind too, so as to avoid disappointments. Balance is the key I suppose. So, go ahead, sparkle and shine, not in the sky, but as a glinting speck on a rock nearby.
