This Post was created on 13th Oct -- Friday the thirteenth.. But time permits me to put this only today : ( (After more than a month!!!! )
FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH
Well, for all superstitious people, today is a day they'll end up dreading.
I've seen the Cricket Umpire Dave Shepard do a sort of jig when the score reached 111 or 222 or 333 and the jig is much funnier if the score was 111/1 or 222/2 or 333/3, be it a test match or a one-day match.
Mom comes back one day earlier/later coz of the reason that one should not return home on the 9th day of leaving.
Superstitions are not CASTE based but are definitely GENDER BASED.
Eg:
For females, If the right palm itches, it is a sign of bad luck or rather.. more work. Similarly, if the left palm itches, it's a sign of good luck or rather.. more money. But for males... it is Vice Versa.
Again, for females, if the right eye twitches, it is bad luck but for males, if the right eye twitches, it means good luck. If the left eye twitches for a gal, it means good luck; but for guys, it means bad luck.
But if it comes to legs, if the right sole/foot itches, it is assumed that he/she is going to travel but if the left sole/foot itches, it is assumed that he/she is going to Quarrel.
he he.. how silly is that????
Coming to the most common of the superstitions.. a CAT crossing your PATH.
Some years earlier, if a cat crosses your streeth/path, it was assumed that it's bad luck and your work will not be successful. This assumption got 'relaxed' to such an extent that all the cats got a reprise except the 'BLACK CAT'. 'BLACK' is always considered inauspicious .. no matter what. Anyways, coming back to CATS.
I came to know why the incident of a CAT Crossing your PATH was considered BAD.
'MILK' was and is still considered auspicious. If milk is offered as 'Abhisheka' to any GOD, it is assumed that your wish will get fulfilled. Before you wonder what the link b/n CATS crossing the path and MILK is.. pls hold on.. A CATS favorite food is MILK.
If a CAT crossed your path, it was earlier being assumed that the CAT would have seen you leaving your house and the fear was that it would drink all the milk kept at home to offer to GOD. That was the precise reason why people used to rush back home.
Now, the basic reason is forgotten and people still rush back thinking that their work won't be successful!!!
Tell me something sillier than that! ;))
