7 Odd Beliefs We Still Follow In 2014

From Monday to Sunday ,from morning till night, basically 24X7 we are following so many superstition or myths and odd beliefs that sometime I think is this really the age of smart phone and dumb people? Are these superstitions really important in our daily life or we just follow just for the sake of it or not to hurt our elderly. Time goes on we are using so many new technologies but we don’t even try to change our belief

1.During period's time not worshiping god

Are we really living in 2014 or what? Is there any good scientific reason that women or young girls not allowed to enter the temple premises or puja room during their periods? I still haven't found answer to this .we grow up in a world where we are taught that having periods is like a taboo... Why?Why we can't change this?

Women are not allowed to be a part of any holy ceremony they cannot be part of any family function and in some part of India married women are not allowed to share bed with their husband during this time And we just are passing the torch to our next generation.

2.Do not to use left hand in good work

Is left right ? or right is always right?? Since childhood I have heard you should avoid using the left hand to receive or collect anything, eat food with etc. Giving or accepting money or a gift using your left hand is not considered right. We always think that the left hand is considered unclean so never ever use in good work. Well what about left handed people ?? I must say please get out of all silly beliefs. Most of the successful celebrity are left handed people, here are almost 60 famous people who are left handed.

3. Saturday is not a good day for starting anything new

Ohh please, give me a break!!! Why it is that one day is considered to be worst than the other week days? What is that when I do something is more important than what I am doing? I really don't understand why a particular day be bad for everything.. how about the babies born on Saturdays do all of them turn out to be a monster when they grow up… and we are blindly accepting all these??

4. One should not wash their hair or shave on a Thursday

You Live in a polluted city, you travel a lot every day. Hygienically you should wash your hair everyday..right ? Well I was told if I wash my hair on Thursdays it is possible that Lakshmi will go away from my home and make me a tramp. There are even stories which says that married woman should not wash their hair on Thursdays if she does her husband might just Die suddenly… Errr… Washing hair on Thursday is inauspicious. Even you can hear about that guys can not shave on certain days like Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and on your birthday too. So my friends wait for the perfect day on which you can wash or shave may be..

5.Black Cat Crossing Your Road

Are you one of those people who simply love to travel? Still how do you react when you see the black cat crossing the road in front of your car? Tell me honestly, you think that something wrong would happen to you. You think of some bad luck and thought of throwing a stone to it to get away from you. Just for the cat you are thinking of your good or bad luck but the cat doesn't even know you.

6.Sneezing when you start a journey

I am sure everyone faces this, before leaving for some work or starting work if someone sneezes in front of you… In India that's sign the work would not go well, so you may as well not work! You have to wait for short of time and have some water then only your work will be fine. Ridiculous!!!!

So Be careful about the direction of your sneeze! Some sneeze to the right is to be lucky, but a sneeze to the left is unlucky. A sneeze directed straight ahead means that good news will come to your way. So before sneezing please keep this in mind if you want good luck. (thumbs up)

7.Eating curd and sugar before exam/test

These beliefs are passed down from generation to generation. Eating sweet curd before exams brings good luck and you will get good marks as well, isn't it? How many of us got good marks after eating curd. Some says curd and sugar signify prosperity and satisfaction. Well how hard you studied that has nothing to do with the result but surely curd and sugar has

A simple request to all such people, please start living in reality and not in a world of superstition
