**ll Happy Birthday, Super Star RajiniKanth- 12.12.12 l

It is common knowledge that Rajnikanth was born on the 12th of December

1949. When translated into digits his birthday this year falls on 12-12-12. Lots

of strange things are connected with this date. The 2012 phenomenon

comprises a range of beliefs according to which cataclysmic or transformative

events will occur on 21 December 2012. This date is regarded as the end-date

of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. Various

astronomical alignments and numerological formula have been proposed as

pertaining to this date, though none have been accepted by mainstream

scholarship.

A New Age interpretation of this transition is that this date marks the start of

time in which Earth and its inhabitants may undergo a positive physical or

spiritual transformation. Whatever those beliefs may be, here in Tamil Nadu

many people believe it is an important date only because it is Rajnikanth's

birthday. Another interesting phenomenon is that 12-12-12 totals up to 36

which his fans consider to be Rajni's lucky number. Yet another interesting

point is that if you reverse the number 36 you get 63, which is Rajnikanth's

age on this birthday. Believe it or not!
