From the desk of Maria B

Hi friends,
I am a practical person and do not believe in superstitions.

It was a bit surprising for me to learn that many high-rise buildings don’t have a 13th floor and many airports skip a 13th gate (By the way, Bahrain Airport does have Gate 13. This might be the reason for the terribly-disturbed flight schedule!).
Sometimes if a black cat crosses my way, I get unnerved. When I see two birds, sitting together, I recall the rhyme, “one for sorrow, two for joy and three for letter”.
I avoid going anywhere in a group of three and try to drop one or take a fourth person. I  once saw my cousin desperately trying to sneeze. She told me that she had already sneezed twice and it would be a bad day if she does not sneeze a third time.
If the palm of my right hand itches, I wait for money to come to me. I get a little worried if there is itching on my left palm as it might be a sign of loss.
I am not at all superstitious. Are you?
Bye,
Syeda Maria
