I have many times (not always) wondered (not questioned) why (not how) the number 100 (not 50) is so special.... 100 days @ Box-office, 100 runs partnership in cricket, 100 years of running a firm, 100/100 in Maths test, 100 chocolates to give away on birthday, 100% sure, 100 Rs note, 100 times better than before, H----U---N--D-RED!
To dull this blog, lemme LOGICEXPLAIN why 100 has become significant among humans...
{we have 10 fingers and therefore we picked the number system with base 10. Therefore, the decimal system is easier to follow. Hence, the proof!}ok, watvr...
Not just among accomplishments, but 100 is also picked for countdowns! Yes, 100 days to the World Cup, 100 days to the Annual Exam, etc. U know whats up for me in 100 days? I am buying a new dress for myself! Yes, a brand new dress and probably brand new innerwears too! Not just that... I am going to exhibit my new dress to the world! So, I have planned to invite as many ppl as I know to come and watch me style-show-off in my new outfit! In fact, I have rented out a party hall to accomodate the viewers who are expected to oblige to my invitation of my fashion-show! Oh yeah, am also clubbing my wedding on the same day to add spice to my attire-display day, haha!
