The Confused Black Cats


“STOP THE CAR!! REVERSE!!! Ah; now move ahead”. I have lost count of the number of people I have heard saying this when a black cat crosses their path while driving. So while we Indians whine about the years of bad luck these terrible cats bring upon us, people in Scotland are waiting for their house to be invaded by black cats cause for them these blackies signify prosperity. In England the presence of a black cat in a woman’s life is considered to be a sign of her having many suitors (So Much for saying the whites hate the blacks huh!)
In this entire mess of good and bad luck imagine the poor cats. The black cat who gets shipped from India to England or England to India will be cursing his luck trying to understand the confused reactions his presence entails in the lives of people.If not for the sake of logic let’s try to let go off this cat curse for the sake of the confused cats.......
