Astrologers say yesterday was an auspicious day for parents to bring creative and famous lives into this world
The date seems to be special from the Indian mythological point of view too. "It is the only day when you can view Jupiter and moon on the same sky marking the Gajakesari Yoga. It is an auspicious day, as Lord Rama was also born on the same day. So, the children born on this day are endowed with natural compassion and
calmness."
However, to parents, who welcomed a newborn in their lives on 20/10/2010, the date remains special with or without astrological implications.
Revealing why she chose this particular day to deliver her second baby boy, 31-year-old Gayarthri, a housewife, said, "We were trying to choose a good day for his birth and I was given November 5 as the delivery date but we had to pre-pone it. I was suggested October 21, but I chose 20/10/2010 as the sound of it is unique and everybody can remember it easily."
Around the world on 20/10/10 the United Nations marked this day as the World Statistics Day. Facebook groups have also been created to celebrate this unique date.
