I'm Not Superstitious (Touch Wood)

I'll Just Keep Holding My Four-Leaf Clover

Thanks, Bellur, for blogrolling me at your site Rambling With Bellur. I also enjoyed your post about superstitions. I grew up in India, where superstitions play a big part in the everyday lives of people of all religious faiths. As a former sports journalist, I always marvelled at how world-class sportsmen and women readily confessed to their own little idiosyncracies. Steve Waugh had his lucky red towel, while Sunil Gavaskar always wore something new for a Test match, even if it was a new pair of shoe laces! I can honestly say I am not superstitious at all - but there is a segment in my novel `Vegemite Vindaloo' where one of the characters burns red chillies over her son's head to ward off evil. Do you know anyone who is superstitious? Leave a comment and tell me about it ....
