<i>Unlucky '13' is lucky for Pranab</i>

Is '13' always an unlucky number? Not so, it seems, for India's Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee who has been chosen by the country's ruling UPA to be the next president.
Mukherjee lives in a house at 13, Talkatora Road in New Delhi and is expected to be the 13th president of India.
Mukherjee's name came up as the UPA's presidential candidate and was revealed for the first time on June 13.
The addition of first two digits of the age of 76-year-old veteran Congress leader also totals up to number 13.
Asked about this figure playing a key role in his life, Mukherjee said, "I don't have any superstition. I don't believe in that. 13 is a lucky number. 13 means pure...13 (tera) is God."
He recalled that when he moved into the current Talkatora Road bunglow as a Member of Parliament, he was cautioned by many that the number 13 means unlucky. But it did not happen.
