World Superstitiously!!!

       Aversion go past me at least once in an every single day,when I hear some person speaking about obscure things.Why do people  not realize  that? They of course know what is wrong and what not to do..? Since they were told  not to or to, they simply adhere to the words.The conception of this chain of words was because of the people those who fall in my eyesight .They are not ignorant to do or believe such beliefs.

      Superstition- Few instances of blaming other creatures. 1. If a black cat crosses your path, its a sign of bad luck.When the same black puss walks towards you, it brings good fortune and vice-versa . (sigh !)! 2.When a lizard falls on you,the result relies on which part did it fall on you. On the top, to know this result of falling lizard I have seen books peculiarly made for this purpose. 3.A bird entering a house is a sign of the death of some family member.4.If a crow makes sound from north east direction outside your house, its the sign of some relatives coming eye to your house. So that you can run out of your house before your relative comes. How absurd? Is that your sentry? or Homing Crow? 5.If you have had reverie where a snake bites you or  even chases you, its the sign of bad omen. C'mon, its not an exaggeration. 

    

      Few instances where you will be blamed. 1.Shaking your leg!!! Sounds good right? Yeah. That will end up in a money loss in your family.2. Spitting your bitten nail inside your house.Yeah I agree.That might prick others when they step on it. But how is that going to affect the economy of your family. 3.If you keep tapping your doors' latch, there will be some fight between your family members.Yeah! This is true.This happened to me once. Wait! Don't get shocked.Once I kept tapping the latch.A person warned me  not to  do that. I started digging to find  a good reason out of him.But I failed. But that went as an argument.Ended up in naming me an uncompromising. May be this is what they called FIGHT between family members.4.Putting your right foot first before entering your house or football ground or exam hall or where ever you want to shine.What did your left leg do to you?It will help you no where. 6.Throwing a pinch of salt on your shoulders would end your bad luck. 7.A boy should take head-bath only on particular days in a week. 8. Shirking Non-Veg on few days in a week.Okay!. They say those days are auspicious. Other days? Not thriving?!!!  Every new day is a distinct one in humanes' life.

         The apex of all these is the marriage between a donkey and a man. This does not stop here. To frog, to cow, and even with trees  have  men got married.Reason is so foreign.Its for downpour. Though these things fading away I wanted to adduce it. 10. Moribund for lucky color stones, lucky dress, lucky rupee note, lucky color, lucky number  and so on... 
          
         As a matter of fact, I grope compassion towards the people who are blindly  after these myths . What one can possibly do to stop people worrying about such fables other than jotting down? The one thing that makes me desperate is when I see even some  CULTURED folk are trapped into the so called Superstition...
