- Not eating during eclipse.
- Not cutting nails at night.
These are the two I came across today. Let's list more.
No going out during eclipse
No going to washrooms during toilet.
Add this to Eclipse special.
Well, I did got a logic for no eating during eclipse once from a elder person. It was like, Sun rays protect us from man germs and all, it kills them. But while on eclipse, it doesn't happen so. So eating at that time is avoided. Though he said this about Solar Eclipse. But may be as a superstition this is followed regardless of solar / lunar eclipse. Also, one thing I didn't got that time, if sun rays are not there during eclipse, then germs can affect us either way, how it's related to food only. May be food is more vulnerable to germs or so. Can't say for sure.
Your interaction won't be limited only with your family. You might have to move out, join some college and live in hostel. You'll meet superstitious people.Thank God my family doesn't believe in superstitions.
I've never understood this hypocrisy from most non-veg eaters. Either you eat meat, or you don't. "No, I won't eat on XYZ day" is bullsh!t.1) No haircuts on Tuesday.
2) No eating meat on Tuesday.

I dunno, but I think this 7-day calender is known as the Gregorian calender right? Didn't Britishers introduce this? There was no Mangalvaar before. How did Tuesday/Mangalvaar become suddenly auspicious?
ask him, what about during the night?
the earth's sun facing half kind of eclipses the sun from the half not facing it.

This is the one my mom keeps telling me. And the rest are from my grandmother.
• Don't look at the mirror at night. I ask her back what's the definition of night? Well you know that look, when people can't answer something constructively, she gives.
• Can't eat non veg on my birthday, which are some hours from now.
• Don't let your left foot touch outside your home, when you are going for good work. It got to be the right foot.
Can't think of any more, but there are a lot of them.
Do you guys have special beds fitted with compasses?wow. I never heard of these before though I used to get don't eat non-veg on Tuesdays.
