(I and my friend keenly discussed about superstitions and what we can do to make people aware of the hollowness of superstitions. Given below is the detailed conversation :)

I: Hey, why did you get late? We were about to start the party without you!

Friend: Hey my parents’ superstitious nature annoys me at times. As I was about to leave, they were not letting me come as my sister sneezed! They think it is inauspicious. How unscientific!

I: We cannot do anything about it. My parents also believe in superstitions.

Friend: We must do something. See in spite of my sister’s sneeze, nothing has happened. On earlier occasions also I had to face inconvenience on account of their superstitious nature.

I: What can we do?

Friend B: I think we can request our teacher to hold a seminar on ‘Superstitions’ n which she can give them an enlightening lecture on the origin of superstitions and their irrelevance in the modern times.

I: It is a good idea. Most of these superstitions were made quite long ago, when man was quite backward in thinking, reasoning, and science. Superstitions are like ghosts whom no one has seen but still compulsively believe in.

Friend: I think we also need to do some experiment! Are you a game?   

I: Wow! I am in. but what experiment?

Friend: We will make a cat walk in front of our fathers in the morning, and in the evening we will tell them our result in the pre-boards. Both of us have scored CGPA 10. Then we will tell them. Look if the crossing of the cat in front of them would have been inauspicious, we would have not scored 10 CGPA. They will understand that superstitions have no influence on what happens to us.

I: Great idea. If we will give them a detailed explanation about irrelevance of superstitions and prove our arguments with proofs, they will definitely stop believing in superstitions.

Friend : I agree with you. We will definitely try to convince them.
