Once in two months my cousin calls me up and tells special poojas to be performed at the temples for the betterment of life. the easy ones i do the hard ones i leave it. last saturday she told me a fairly simple thing involving lighting of three lamps at three different temples. Woke up bright and early got ready started the car it did not start.
I got freaked out (yes i am a bit mad that i decided it was a bad omen) Got DH to start the car started. Then set off to temple. Went there decided shall pray before doing the lamp thing and left it and went inside. while praying mind was in a confused state and as such when i finished prayers was in a confused state of mind.
Came out to get my lamps someone had broken not only one lamp but the whole bottle of oil. i totally broke down. get home and was bawling non stop since i decided this is very bad news. I know it sounds mad but i was so depressed all day. I just could not get over it.
wake up in the morning open the front door and find a lizard dead with his tail seperate. scream shout and go and cry somemore that bad omen for dead lizard. So lie down on the sofa and am depressed. TV is on and i cant help but listen to some preacher say that getting obsessed about superstion is one of the stupidest habits of human beings. wierd but a coincidence...
why is it that i cant let go of all this superstitious mumbo jumbo.... I look at good omens all day...

I remember you have said this before.. about you being overly superstitious.. don't take these things too seriously..
It's probably easier said than done.. but with this reaction, you only give into them...
SO chill... all this happened and it's alright... the next day is better..:)
take care
*big hug*
sex, drugs and rock & roll - not necessarily in that order sometimes is a better answer, seriously :)~
(and this is coming from someone who just in this month alone did Kali, Ganapathi and Murugan Abishekams in three different temples spread out in all parts of London! Lit lamps in two, does that qualify?)
This George character on the TV series "Seinfeld" once did everything his instincts said was wrong just to prove that he had bad instincts. He ended up having a hell of a great time.
Have a go at it. Wake up one day and do everything you think is a “no-no” superstitiously (is there such a word?). See what the day brings you.
I wouldn’t say not to believe in things that are beyond our comprehension; but don’t let them get you down...
;)
