Beliefs ......

Nazar Lag Jayegi !!!!!

Few days back I was talking to one of my friend, and he started staring at me, was feeling unconfortable and said will you stop staring at me like that: NAZAR LAG JAYEGI, bass !!!! Got the idea of this post.
I still remember when i was small and ever fall sick my mom used to do so many things, those were funny beliefs but she still did it innocently ... like:

1: taking 7 red chillies and making 7 circles around my head and throwing it in the fire saying: BURI NAZAR WALE KI NAZAR AAG MAIN JALE (all the evil should burn in fire)

2: keeping a glass full of water under my bed, saying evil spirits are scared of water.

3: tying a black thread around my wrist after doing pooja, saying God will protect me from all evils and illness.

4: Mixing 7 types of cereals and feeding birds and ants, saying these animals take all our pains n illness.

5: giving mustard oil to saints on Saturdays, saying it brings more prosperity and good health.

6: making "langar" (food) and giving it to poor people, saying they give blessing and don’t know when and where some of the blessing comes true.

7: She used to put a black teeka(spot )on my forehead or behind my ear to save me from evil when I was a kid.
8: she used to tie a lime with 7 green chillies with a thread and hang it on the door, saying it protect the house from evil, specially during festivals, i have seen ppl tie this on their shops and working places too ... so there must be some logic behind it !!!!

These were some of the things my mom did regularly, and still she does it sometimes: p, maybe there is some logic behind all these things or it’s just a belief. I think she is the BEST MOM in the world who always wants the best for her children

LOVE YOU MOM

  • i have an 'Om' in black thread round my neck. To protect me from everything.

    No. 3 -> God will protect me from ALL evils and illness.
    That's it !! then why do anything else.

    But it is hard to convince the mommy dearests. They just want to do everything to protect their kids :) :)

  • A very nice tribute ...
    The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.....

    By Blogger strawy, at 9/06/2005 09:25:00 AM  

  • My dear keshi...
    ur reply was
    "alright Puneet that was choooo rude :( talkin in Hindi abt moii..."

    I never talked abt u in Hindi...
    I just gave a normal reply to strawy... she mentioned ur name...
    how come i'm rude :-(
    I'm not in Keshi's good books nowdays...

    Nazar Uttarna is a Hindi phrase... it's done to keep one away from the bad eyes…
    (by eyes I mean, the way of seeing or the intention behind it)
    When some looks good, people generally say “Nazar Uttar lena”… coz so many people would be eying that person…

    There is a process by which elders (mostly mom, grand moms, aunts) do some rituals and keep the children away from bad eyes

    Hope this helps… this is the best I can explain… else come down to my place to learn Hindi… BTW my Mom is a Hindi teacher ;-)

    I replied to Strawy that I regularly do this ritual of Nazar Uttarana
    (and no where I mentioned ur name)

    Strawy replied to me saying whose bad eye catches u
    Is it Keshi’s… Cant be coz she is a sweetheart

    So neither of us said anything unpleasant about u…coz we know u are a sweetheart…
    Except for inquisitiveness) ;-)
    he he he he he
    Kidding babezzzz

    Hope I helped u Strawy...
    dont know about Keshi ;-)
