Being superstitious…
While teaching my students at home, I just happened to cut the nails of my daughter, which was troubling her.
While I was cutting her nails, one of the student of third Std.inturrupted…. Madam, why are you cutting her nails TODAY? I surprisingly asked her the explanation. She immediately replied- today is Tuesday. SO WHAT? I asked, then she explained that we should not cut the nails on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Moreover, we should not cut and wash the hair on Thursdays. To her reply, I just blinked my eyes ;(
Was the little girl conveying a message to me? Alternatively, am I trying to convey some message to the readers?

Hey,
Frankly I find these superstitions just stupid... My gran'ma has a wonderful and logical explanation for each of them....which explains the origin of the superstition and also explains why they are irrelevant today...
Maybe after I visit her in Delhi I will get an update on them and will write about it...
ya sure Ritu, i ll wait for ur write up about superstition....
