Lately the 11:11 syndrome has struck me deeply! The name might suggest a disease, but it’s not…. it’s rather a silly experience which I am calling it a Syndrome, for a very simple reason that, I am frequently experiencing the symptoms of it.
Now what is this 11:11 syndrome??? – It is simply nothing but too much of a time coincidence…
Whenever I glance at my system-clock, wall-clock, or any kind of timepiece, I don’t miss to see the time 11:11 during the day (even when writing this article, when I glanced at the clock – I was looking at 11:11). Seeing that, it appears to me that time has come to a standstill at this particular time frame and has become eternal.
Is my brain programmed to subconsciously look at the clock whenever it strikes 11:11? An instinct tells me “Hey, look at the time now”, and when I see it, there it is…. 11:11 All around me!! The other times when I don’t see this number on the clock, I don’t fail to see numbers like 2:22, 3:33, 4:44, 5:55, 1:11, 8:08, 9:09, 10:10 etc regularly…To extrapolate, they seem to be unique single digit numbers most of the times.
Every time I look at single-digit numbers like this, I just raise my brows. Initially what started to be a look of amusement turned out to be a feel of obsession as the experience of seeing them happened almost everyday, I couldn’t shrug it off as a mere coincidence anymore. The benefit of my obsession was owed to the increasing regularity of the 11:11 occurrence.
Every time I saw such unique timings, I got excited and called my husband (if he is near-by) and point out with pride to him, “see the time now is 11:11”, “see the time now is 5:55” etc. As though I have done a major discovery of the modern times. Initially what he saw in me as a kiddish excitement got over his nerves as a constant nuisance, mulling over the same senseless finding again and again…. finally he was confirmed that I have gone nuts! Nevertheless, I was undeterred to find out more about it (instincts provoked me again!!) and maybe to do some little investigation on it.
Couple of days back, as curiosity got the better off me, just like that I tried testing the encyclopedic knowledge of Google and simply typed 11:11 and clicked on Search…. Out came a response giving some tip-off to several related information to 11:11…. The result caught me by surprise, more to say, by happiness. If I had considered myself as a nut, I just realized, I was not alone…there were lots of others (nuts) to accompany me. So many like me had similar experiences and have shared their feelings on these brain-teasing numbers on the net…. going through each one of them, made the entire “syndrome” (I won’t cease to call it a syndrome, as I am now assured that, I would be seeing them more often in the future too) very authentic and rational (at least to me!!).
Now having got some insight about the topic, 11:11 to put it in very simple terms, it’s a blessing from Guardian Angels (Legend has it that there were 1,111 angels guarding mankind, but now it’s believed that the numbers seems to have increased), These Guardian Angels pick-up few persons (their parameter of choosing is not mentioned though) and their method of telling whom they pick that they’re guarding them is through this 11:11 symptom (or any such unique single digit number symptom). When asked for any wishes during this revelation time, it is granted by those angels, is the belief behind this 11:11 syndrome. I am not a superstitious person to believe in guardian angels, nonetheless, to chance upon something, which favors some benefits and gives optimistic grants, so to say, about what I see, made me feel good and coax me to believe about these angels (If I had read anything negative about it, I would have discarded that page as a junk, that’s a different story).
With unbelievable belief about what I read, I have decided to feel good whenever I see 11:11 on my clock again (or any other single digit number). When I shared what I read with my husband, his feelings about me only grew stronger…But am satisfied and convinced that I have some relevance and references to what seemed like uncomprehending coincidences that's been racking my brains for sometime now.
So, if you’re a believer of “11:11 syndrome” and you’re superstitious, know that you have angels blessing you and make a wish whenever you encounter this syndrome and feel good about experiencing it. For those who are not superstitious, just feel good about experiencing the syndrome (forget about the angels and blessing part), for feeling good makes you cheerful and happy, immaterial of what caused that feeling…. That itself is a blessing for you, isn’t that good enough?
Finally, If you’re a non-believer of such syndrome and when you experience it, whether the theory behind it comes to your mind or not, you will definitely think of me. Isn’t that the biggest of all the blessings you got in your life…

Its interesting to know the "history" behind the 11:11 syndorome or whatever it is!!!!!
wouldn't it be fun to have gaurdian angels behind each and every minute in the clock , making our whimps and fancies come too!!!!!
I had this syndrome, but the number was 3.33.
When I started to listen it, I found it everytime when it is 3.33, don't know the reason, it was a pleasure for me. But later when I was busy, I forgot it.
Good to see your writing together in a place!
