Do you believe in superstitions?

"Hey enga pora?(Where do you go?)"If this is the question from your mouth to any person going out on an important assignment you are literally sacked.He gets frustrated and poses a stern look at you and yells "Kilambum bothu thaan kaepaya?(Will you ask me only when i leave?)".Itz so blatant that such questions can be asked only when a person leaves out somewhere.No one can go and ask a person sitting and reading a newspaper this question.Not only the person smirks at you but also feels that you need to go out somewhere to tighten up your nuts.

Well am a guy brought up from an orthodox brahmin family,who actually doesn't believe in such misconceptions.I have too often wondered as to how asking a person where he goes spoils his work.On the other hand no one bothers if you ask the question in a circuitous way like"Engaernthu nee varuva(Where will you come from?)".This certainly evokes laughter but this infact is the very thing that is happening beforehand.And still worse is the case if a cat crosses him on his way to work.He howls "Saniyaney!!!Correctaa porthu paaru".Poor cat!!!Gets the name of lord Saneeswaran(Saturn)every time it crosses a man.The Cat should have been taught a lesson to know the time as to when to cross the people and when not to.Doesn't it all sound a bit eccentric??

There have also been funny instances with regards to people sneezing.It so happened one day that one of my cousin had come to my house to seek blessings of my parents.As my mom and dad were blessing him some dust particle went into my nose and I sneezed at once.My mom bawled "Correctaa thumbinaan da!! (actually means sneezing wrongly at the correct time)." Even as i was wondering was there any way to find out whether a person has correctly sneezed or not my mom was desperately waiting for me to sneeze the second time.Poor guy!! I didn't get the second time.I was bemused and asked my mom as to why did she ask me to sneeze the second time.And the answer she gave quite surprised me.She told me that whatever blessings she had given to my cousin would really have itz effect only if my first sneeze is counteracted by an imminent second sneeze.And that too the interval between the first and second sneeze should be less than or equal to a second.The funda is that sneezes that occur in even intervals doesn't cause harm while that which occur in odd intervals are malicious and should immediately be succeeded by one more sneeze.If we try to project this on a graphical scale we actually get a Sneezoidal wave(in close resemblance to sinusoidal wave).Aha God!!!Are there so many facts behind a sneezing man.

Well the beliefs that i have cited in this article are mere misconceptions that have evolved over time.Asking someone "Where do you go?",cat crossing a man's path,a person sneezing, all might be an instinct phenomenon and doesn't really have a role to play in a man's success.It is purely because of the pejorative connotations that he carries in his mind once he face these instances.The cat didn't cost you your work nor did the person who asked you "Where you are going?".It was purely because of your thoughts that had lot to do with your failure at work.So always have positive thoughts as it sets your vision clear.
