Many Chinese couples decided to tie the knot on Sunday, Oct 10 as the date appears like 10-10-10, which they believe that the lucky number 10 will give them a long happy married life.
The number 10 implies 'perfection' in China. Many young people decided to start their married life with the blessing of the magic number 10-10-10, a date whose symmetry has occurred once a year since 2001 and will do so until 2012.

Wrong or right, many have passion for certain numbers. In our country, The Vehicle Traffic Department (RTO) makes good income by allotting fancy registration numbers. Rationality pays no role in such matters.

Hmm!! I couldnt understand how they calculate the lucky numbers???
as 10-10-10 is nothing but 1+1+3(adding digits 2+0+1+0)which is equal to 5...
