Indian Granny Tales We Believe

In India kids are fond of their grandparents no matter which age they are at. These wrinkled old folks too love the presence of their grandkids. If you pay attention to how these two generations spend their time you will be amused for hours. There are only a few grandchildren who are lucky to have the presence of both grandparents and to enjoy with them the uncanny tales they share.

Every grandparent has a tale to tell with their grandkids and some of them are uncanny yet strangely true. If you take a look at these granny tales shared among Indian grandparents it will make you feel nostalgic.

Take a look at these Indian granny tales we believe in:

Those Sharp Nails
IF you cut your nails at night it will attract ghosts. This is one of the many Indian granny tales shared with every living grandparents. It is more of superstition other than a tale.

The Broom Tale
It is believed - One should not see a broom the first thing in the morning. If you do, the rest of the day you will have only bad luck.

The Foot Mole
Have you come across this Indian granny tale? - A mole on your foot (to be precise, the left foot) will make you travel around the world. Kids enjoy this tale as many of us would love to travel the world.

Breaking A Mirror
If you happen to break a mirror or a glass, the misfortune you will have will be endless. Every Indian grandparent has this notion.

The Mishap On Eating Seeds
Fruits is a must for kids to consume. However, when you enjoy your favourite fruit make sure not to swallow a seed. The famous Indian granny tale we believe in - "Swallow a seed and you will grow a tree"!

Those Fused Bananas
Fused bananas are usually kept for the woman of the house who wants to expect a child. According to Indian grandparents, if a woman eats a fused banana she will expect twins. So strange and yet richly followed by all.

Whistling At Night
If you whistle at night you will attract snakes. The other tale - "If a woman whistles at night she will attract a dead man". How many of you actually tried this?

Eating The Last Morsel

Eating The Last Morsel
In many homes a bachelor or a spinster is not allowed to eat the last morsel on the plate. If they do, they will remain a spinster or bachelor for the rest of their lives. This is one of the common Indian granny tales we believe in, till today.
