Please remember 1 0 8 in Goa Some time ago, I asked what do the following Numbers have in common (WTHIC):
999, 911 & 108 Or for that matter 777, 112 etc Well they are all Important Numbers to call in case of Emergency such as Hospital, Fire, Police etc in different countries. (999 being UK (also 112), UAE, Bharain, Quarter etc, 911 USA, 777 Kuwait, 112 being single European Emergency Call Number e.g. Uk, France, Italy, Portugal etc etc. As from 5/9/08, 108 is one single number to call from GOA in case of emergency Hospital, Fire, Police etc (Old numbers 100, 101, 102 etc will still work) Another advantage of this 108 number is that it will work from any mobile Phones by dialing 108 directly (no need of suffixing or prefixing any number) So how best 108 can be remembered? It’s EKXEM ATT (108) in konkani Again XEMBOR ANI ATT (108) 100+8 = 108 9 dozon (=108) Divide 108 by 2 or multiply by 2 and the sum total of all digits will be the same i.e. 9 e.g. 108/2 = 54 (5+4 = 9) 108x2= 216 (2+1+6=9) Please suggest some more tips to get 108 best remembered. Thank you. In the following picture, I have made a sort a of round human face/head using 108 i.e. 1 as a nose 0 being round face & 8 (laid horizontal) as eyes , hope this will help you some to remember 108 http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoaukextras/2824677012/ Please also view this.. for more details http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoaukextras/2823835589/sizes/l/ Remember..
