Knocking on wood is meant to bring good luck because benevolent spirits are thought to live in trees. I remember my grandmother telling us that if we knocked on wood, it would protect us from misfortune. When I think back, I smile at the way my sister and I always knocked on the door before we left home. Even crossing your fingers is meant to protect you from harm. Whenever I was called to the Headmaster's office I kept my fingers crossed behind my back, and left them that way, sometimes with painful results, until I had returned to class. However, that did not ensure that I did not get a mouthful from the Headmaster or a sound thrashing for some mischief that I had been up to. No matter which part of the world you tour, you will find natives nurturing certain rituals and superstitions. India is no exception. Society progresses but people still hang on to traditional customs and local beliefs. Thus anything from the calling of a bird or the falling of a utensil may be considered as an omen. The cawing of a black crow heralds the arrival of a guest or guests. Monday is not an auspicious day for shaving and Thursday is not a good day to wash one's hair. Hiccups indicate that someone is thinking about you. This morning, my mother called and said, "Are you all right? Is everything fine? I was thinking of you. Did you have hiccups?" I said, "Mother, everything is fine and no, I have not had hiccups for a week." “Bad child," my mother complained. “This just shows how much you love your mother." I had to smile at that! write a short summary of this passage​
