More on SUPERstitions - Part 2!

That was a pretty good response on 'Superstitions - part 1' post. Thank you ppl! And of course, I'm not done yet. :) So, here goes a hatke top 6 on my part 2!

1.  Don't touch any sweets or food on a festival till it is offered to God.

Sometimes, festivals are a silent way to take revenge. See, I appreciate your devotion. But, God also doesn't wants me to starve na? First of all, you make all nice nice foodduu and sweets, and then don't allow me to touch it,as though I'l become one 'harijan' (untouchable) if I touch. Romba (Too much) torture pah.

2. Keep your head facing the south direction while sleeping. You will get good sleep and good dreams.

OK..this is called 'Vaas-thu'. Thuuuu only it is! How much more illogical than this? Yes, if I didn't get sleep one day, might be there were too many 'gui-gui' mosquitoes around last night, or there was power-cut or something. And now about dreams. How many of us actually remember all our dreams? Daily when u wake up, you will think 'oh so what did I dream last night' ah? Mad only you are. Go brush your teeth first. May be u saw something scary sometime back, and you were reminded of the same in your dreams. Biggu deal. Lite lo yaaron!

3. If a black cat crosses you, then your task will not be completed.

Guess all black cats come with this curse when they are born. Will your task be over if a white cat crosses you? Yes no? I mean yes ah? why - Coz it is fair? So you will start color discrimination even amongst cats now? Understand one thing - if a black cat crosses you when you are going somewhere, that means the cat is also going somewhere. DOT (Rajnikanth 'Robot' style)

4. Never ask someone WHERE there are going when there are going out as the work will not be done.

The most HILARIOUS of all times and mended according to each individual's convinience. If you are stepping out for a movie, elders at home HAVE to ask 'Aei..where are you going?'. But again, they are the ones who teach you the above superstition. #Paradox . So, if black cat crosses, your work will not be over. If I ask where you're going, your work will not be over. So, both me and black cat are same you're saying. I don't mind. I will support black cats. Basically when you are leaving for work, all of them at home should maintain moun-vrath (silence) and the road should be empty, one straight road. Only then our boss can go and work well and have the 'work done'. No need. Sit at home. If you think you can do your job, don't bother if something comes your way, or someone asks you anything. 

5. If there is an itching on your right palm (left for girls), you will get more money.

Typical grandma tales. If your palm is itching means you have an itchy palm. As simple and straight as said. May be it's time to consult a dermatologist. Or may be its time to take bath, if you haven't over the last 2-3 days. Pah.. immediately 'I will get money', 'I will become famous overnight', 'I will finally start flying in my  dreams' and making all stupid statements. All shortcuts only we want. 

6. Don't have a haircut on Tuesdays and Fridays.

DUH... and everytime I fix a Tuesday or Friday to have a haircut, coincidently. Will I lose the remaining hair also if I have a haircut on these days? I'm not even able to come up with a counter for this one.. taking a deep breath..will appre-see-ate if any one has ANY FORM of reasoning for this statement. Stupid, hilarious, psycho whatever as it has to be illogical by default!

Cheers,

Janz!
