Indian Superstitions

These are just a few that I remember hearing or that my Mom poured down my throat lol.

1. When you are about to go out somewhere and someone asks where are you going?
2. If you sneeze an odd number of times then try and leave the house...not sure what to do if this happens...try and sneeze again lol?
3. If a widow casts her shadow upon you, then you will know only bad luck or if you are a woman become a widow yourself.
4. If a cat crosses your path, it is a bad omen. You cannot proceed, you have to turn around and find another way.
5. When you hit your head or feet on the threshhold.
6. When you pour milk and it overflows, it is considered a great omen.
7. A guest is coming when your right hand itches.
8. You can never sleep with your head to the north or your bed facing the door.
9. Cannot cut your nails after dark or shower at 7PM, 12AM, or 4AM.
10. When you break a glass, it means a death in the family is coming. If you keep this broken glass inside, it will continue to signal bad luck.
11. When you are boiling milk, and it overflows...you're screwed lol.
12. If you sneeze right before you are about to do something, it is bad luck.
13. If an animal dies on your property, means one of your family was spared from death.

OK, there are a lot more...but I am exhausted...night!
