Are you superstitious???

Hey!!!
We live in a country where superstitions are taught before science. My childhood (as yours) was also full of such superstitions. For example - don't put your chappal upturned, otherwise it will abuse you (now i know chappal can’t talk).This one was just to tell us that we should keep our footwear properly. 
Another one is- don't shake your lag otherwise your father's money become less.
And many other are there which i don't remember.

Now when we have grown up, we might laugh on those stupid ideas but actually we have other superstitions. We follow them with full efforts and efficiency.
Some of them are-
  • don't go further if a cat has crossed your path (if cat is black, don't even think)
  • don't go outside if any one sneezes once. Wait for some time (or) until he sneezes again. (I think sneeze is a toggle button- push to on, push to off)
  • famous one  nazar lagana (like superman huh...)
  • nimboo mirchi (very ecofriendly superstition)
  • Haircut and non-veg is restricted on some particular days. (There are three types of people 1. vegetarian 2. non vegetarian 3. Tuesdays Saturdays)     

 And there are many more....


But important thing is ..Why we are so superstitious....
It is our lack of confidence in our self. It is the doubt about the work we are going to do.
It is the uncertainty about the result.

If you are a rational person, if you could sum 2 +2 = 4. Then you could easily think that there is no relation of crossing a black cat or sneezing or cracking a nariyal or nazar lagana or breaking a mirror or nimboo mirchi with your job, work, or any aspect of your life. you know there is no sense of such stupid notions. 



i was also a superstitious person but now I think logically and rationally  before doing any totaka.
it made my life simple. you should also give a try. 
please share your superstitions here and tell why are they stupid.
comments are welcome!!!
