We in India have lot of superstitions. My grandmother ( an intelligent woman!!!) would always say they had a scientific reason...for example

It is considered that dropping mustard on the floor means there is going to be fight in the house. But the actual reason is that it is so small, once dropped it is difficult to pick-up.

I was wondering if others know about such superstitions and the reason behind them.

I never believed it until I got married. Here I was with not much cooking skills, but always thought I could win over any man with love and care. But I realised it is not true-you need to please a man you need to be a good cook as well.
