I'm so fed up with some people.
Why? What happened? What they did to you?
They're too superstitious!
Superstitious as in?
They believe in silly dreams. Coincidences are misinterpreted. Mountains are made out of molehills.
Give me an example please.
For instance, there was this lizard, stuck on the door in my house.
Hmmm..
It fell on me, when i opened the door. It fell almost on my forehead. But it missed and slid off my fringe.
That's a remarkable slide, I'd say.
Yea, I was amazed. But i reckoned i gave the lizard quite a big scare too.
Yes, I reckon too. Then..
My folks and my grand folks. They became most frantic. They said it was a bad omen. They called the priest and asked for an interpretation.
What did the priest say?
He said normally the lizard falling on the right forehead is considered auspicious and if it falls on the left then it's inauspicious. I'm not sure of the location. It could be the other way round.
But it fell on your fringe.
Yup. There's no interpretation for lizards falling on fringes as no one had a fringe those days. I was wondering perhaps the lizard fortune telling ended before the fringe era.
Perhaps no one recorded it so precisely.
You mean there could be something to all these?
I've no idea, my dear. But I'd say if your old people tell you something, you should just adhere to their advise. Just to give them the confidence and happiness that all is well. For me making the old people happy is more important than any principle i hold close to heart.
But you think lizards are bad?
Like you said the lizard must have been terrified that day too. We can't blame lizards for our misfortunes. Our life is in our hands. The mistake that we make is ours alone. Be responsible for your every action. Life will be how you want it to be.
I don't have to explain to my old folks about all these?
No, just play along to what they expect from you. Old is gold. You need all their blessings.

Alright. Will do so right away.
