Believe in beliefs



      Generations have either believed or lived with the so called 'superstitious beliefs' and the "Elizabethan era" is one that is marked by plenty of such unbelievable and awful beliefs and since then, they have evolved through the sands of time. I India like every other country have a lot of followers of irrational beliefs and there ignorance to reality is a certain and primary cause; and the fear of getting a bad or rather undesired result is the other.
          'Not' buying iron made products on Saturdays or to shave on Mondays etc. are very common, regardless the follower or his family is educated or uneducated. Recently watching a television episode broadcasted on National Geographic Channel I was taken aback to see a person is almost beaten to death, so that the common masses surrounding him may attain some good luck by passing over the bad luck to him.
         I some way or the other everyone is surrounded by these beliefs and to be honest I am no exception.
