superstitions

superstitions are very common in india. all religion followers residing in india are acting on it .few of the events i know i will tell you.
their was a women living with a joint family. she was fed up of work as she was youngest daughter in law,she told the problem to her friend she gave an idea .from next thursday she after bath opened her hair and started a movement of head and changed her voice. peer of nearby dargah was on her. she started telling many stories of past which she had heard from her husband. her mother in law believed on her ,that was very old incident.she sat before her joining hands. other family members were qalso attracted, her frind was also called ,the drama continued. then other members sterted asking questions,when her friend felt that she is tired asked peer sahib what you will eat or drink .she demanded for water and cool drink.and also some sweets .the act was planned on holiday so all themembers were at home though it was thurday sacred for dargah visit.the sweets and drink was arranged and after takin them the lady started again, she use to be angry and wild on the questions she not knew,and prevented to reply.
now she came on the main reason she want to be done, her frind asked peer sahib said i am very happy with her and attracted by her beauty when she was passing near my grave, the friend asked what she shuld do the peer inside the lady replied, she should not toch any stone or metal,she should eat food in glass or or pottery . she should not leave her room after sunrise to sunset. the friend at once accepted and the peer vanished and the lady got rid of work for years till the family divided or migrated elsewhere,and started living single. after wards she told the story to her husband and started working in kitchen. those days very few could afford mixy etc. still we use roti roller of stone.
the other story is of kanpur, a small girl ran away due to fear from home and could not be traced,somebody said she is kidnapped,etc. the daughter was of amiddle class family living in tiwaripur chakeri kanpur. her parents who were teacher by profession searched everywhere,but no results. somebody told about one sufi i was also there the sufi was called and he came with very yes and know to the place of the person in problem. reaching first he demanded for tea,obvoously something to eat will be served. samosas and sweets came from tiwari sweets .he enjoyed,till now he had not asked any thing about the problem. we all surrounded him that what magic he will do. now he asked for a new piece of cloth the mother gave a bedsheet,in the meantime he said his chappal has broken on way,somebody purchased one from lal bungalow market,she sat on bedsheet,he was not aware that i am also muslim.and know rules of worship. he said he want to offer namaz,without wazu necessary for any namaz,properly and systematically wash hands,mouth and foot. but without wazu he started namaz,i had seen that he had gone to toilet on arriving. the namaz he uttered standing for sometime and then sitting bedause he was confirmed that nobody to watch in this hindu house. then he said to call a child to close eyes and asked the child to press eyes tightly,if you do so some images will come before your eyes. child can you see something said the sufi .the child replied ducks like,all were listening and seeig the act. he said something else a door, see more the reply was like dargah . oh he shouted she is captured by some baba,and uttered something i also cold not understand like a tukbandi, jinnbaba go there and tell me the location. he had collected much information about what she has carried she had no money, but then also he said that she has gone towards chungi jajmau,some had told that girl was seen here in frock. he declared she can be found in lucknow. but finally yhe girl reached from kanpur to new delhi and sat on station for more than 24 hours. the police had seen her and keeping an eye on her thinking that she is with some gang or beggars. but when they saw nobody came to her they sent him in custedy of a lady police. by that the missing information came at delhi and on enquiry and same name father and his friend reached de,lhi and brought the girl at home. a day back the so called sufi has gone away with money clothes and new chappal and the belief of people present there broke.
so what i mean is that when person lady or gents not get his demand fulfilled they use this weapon and the innocent and illiterate believe in them. sometimes this is semi faint ,epilepsy,or some depression ,psychological problem and need medical help. need not to believe such.....
