The instances of your own non scientific experiences are quite interesting. Growing hair brings bad luck huh.., gotta be careful now.<br /><br />Thank you for your kind appreciation, Jayant. The disclaimer is the truth. The story is just fiction, inspired of course, from real life incidents. I'm also glad that you like the current theme of 'reflections'.<br /><br />Cheers !!!Anupam Patrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179237569294043987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541136381262666757.post-57440790729986653202012-10-08T08:31:36.905-07:002012-10-08T08:31:36.905-07:00yes. its a long time since i have read anything on...yes. its a long time since i have read anything on your page. superstitions. nice topic that i got attracted to read at first look. i used to not to follow but for some instances i do follow, but not at least the cat and lizard things. i have been injected with thoughts that growing finger and toe nails invites bad lucks and i have had some instances. even growing hair and keeping them long invites bad lucks and i do follow them. these were some instances of superstitions that i believe into. yes, one more is to not to pee on plantations as plantations are believed to be home to many godesses. infact peeing outside is very dangerous. wait till you get a designated lavatory to relieve yourself. and you still have that superb narration skill throughout the blog. just that disclaimer in end, disappoints me a bit. it is that point which makes me realize that this is not your story. let me not forget to say, nice theme. better than the blue one.

I even got a sculpture on it from a friend a wish to let me embrace change in life. It is superstitious, perhaps but not a negative one:) I have so many animal totems-the Native Americans believe that animals are magical and bring a message from beyond. I tend to listen to them:)Bhavanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00799522192219059459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541136381262666757.post-65636288768276342182012-06-06T07:30:12.532-07:002012-06-06T07:30:12.532-07:00Thank you NBoseThank you NBoseAnupam Patrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179237569294043987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541136381262666757.post-87056514022332593742012-06-06T07:29:55.805-07:002012-06-06T07:29:55.805-07:00Thanks RajrupaThanks RajrupaAnupam Patrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179237569294043987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541136381262666757.post-13180449171294879632012-06-06T07:29:37.185-07:002012-06-06T07:29:37.185-07:00Thanks Rohu !!!!Thanks Rohu !!!!Anupam Patrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179237569294043987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541136381262666757.post-46291393609403433262012-06-06T07:29:11.761-07:002012-06-06T07:29:11.761-07:00Thank You Panchalibolchi for going through my stor...Thank You Panchalibolchi for going through my story..I agree that superstitions & superstitious men are omnipresentAnupam Patrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179237569294043987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541136381262666757.post-3573956070687685612012-06-05T12:43:06.330-07:002012-06-05T12:43:06.330-07:00Although your story is fictional but there are peo...Although your story is fictional but there are people who behave like Harish in reality as well. <br /><br />Once our office cab driver halted our cab in middle of a deserted road at 2 AM just because a cat has crossed the road and to nullify the bad omen, he wanted another vehicle to pass first!!!

I agree that the lizard belief is quite harmless as long as the concerned person doesn't end up saying something bad at the time of it's crying and starts panicking anticipating its coming true.<br /><br />Thanks & Regards,<br /><br />AnupamAnupam Patrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179237569294043987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541136381262666757.post-52252476635484277702012-06-03T08:06:40.338-07:002012-06-03T08:06:40.338-07:00Hi Anupam,
You know, I have seen people actually ...Hi Anupam,<br /><br />You know, I have seen people actually turning their vehicles and heading in the opposite direction as soon as a black cat crosses the path. I find it really amusing. Basically I'm a cat person and to tell my side of the story, I have had really good days as things go really smooth especially on those days that I get my path crossed by a cat. It has happened so many times for me that whenever a cat crosses my path, immediately I'll be filled with happiness rather than worries. <br />And I don't know about those lizards tch-ing... people still believe if the lizard makes a sound after a person makes a statement, then what he says is true. But its a harmless belief and sometimes it's fun to anticipate a lizards cry :)<br />Great post.Nehahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895336357128654041noreply@blogger.com
