When I was born 25 years ago Arjun Singh's wife came in that hospital in Ujjain to see me & gave 501 Rs. as shagun. He knew my father & grand father. 9 is unlucky for 5. Arjun Singh died today. He was born on November 5, 1930, that means he was no. 5 person & was in his 81st(9) unlucky year, death was on the cards. He was an Indian politician from the Indian National Congress party. He was the Union Minister of Human Resource Development in the Manmohan Singh cabinet from 2004 to 2009.
