Hi , I am writing a new blog post after quite some time. In between, I was writing on a few other sites. So, Here I am with a new post. I posted this on another site: Mypage5. Do tell me if you like this one :
I have a strong liking for seeing patterns in things,or with numbers.No,I am not a genius mathematician;even though my maths had been average to good in different mathematical topics.One pattern which I have been observing is with respect to the dates on which Hindu religion's major festival :"Deepavali" - the festival of lights (also called as 'Diwali" ) has been over past 9 years -starting from the year 2000. Now,this might be due to some well known astrological or astronomical cycle,which I am unaware of ;yet most of you know about.Still,I would like to share this with all of you :
1) In the years 2000,2003,2006 and 2009 , Deepavali was on or before 25 October. This year it has been the earliest as far as I recall-on 17th October !! .
2)Years 2001,2004 and 2007 (and probably the next year 2010),Deepavali was around 10th November (I think dates were like 11 November or 13 November) i.e a bit late .
3)Years 2002,2005 and 2008 ,the Deepavali was in between these two extremes .In 2005 and 2008 ,it was around 28 october,wheras it was a bit late in 2002-around 5 November.
Year 2002's pattern was a bit different. Otherwise,I observed that every 3 years,these dates follow a similar pattern. I.e the pattern in years 2000,2003,2006 and 2009 are the same and so is the case with 2001,2004 and 2007 and for 2002,2005 and 2008 .
So,my guess;without looking at any Religion calendar (or Vikrami calendar) is that next year 2010,the Deepavali would be around 10 November. May be I would be proved wrong;or may be you would disbelieve me. However,I have not consulted anyone on this and all these are my independent observations.
Any comments ?
