theres is always a reason for everything, like, if it rains, it is because of heat.
when i was young, i was told to do and not to ask questions, like in India every time when there is eclipse no matter of what,sun or moon, than when it starts we have to take bath and sit aside and not to touch anything. Not to eat or drink anything....we were forbid to watch it too.
Then when its get over again take bath throw all those food articles which were open or left out...
I never liked it , means to throw away things because of eclipse, it was a total waste of food. we were suppose to donate some thing to poor,ya that was not bad at all,but throwing everything was not at all a good idea.
i never asked them why. i just followed. during school days one of our teacher said that we should not throw that food and water and all open edible things after eclipse. its complete waste of food and water....
That day i asked my dad,"why do we throw all the food and water after eclipse?"
he looked at me and said,"why not to throw away?"
He hold me form my arms and smiled and said,"What happen when there is sun eclipse?"
"the moon moves in front of the Sun and cover the sun ,and sun gets dimer and dimmer outside as more and more of the Sun is covered by the Moon."I said.
"yes."he said.
"so???",i asked.
"so, what exactly sun do?what he gives us?" he asked.
"he gives us heat." i said
"yes,because of it every thing grows.we get rain,we get food.it is the main thing in our solar system.right?"he said.
"uh-huh" i nod.
"And what happend when sun sets?." he asked.
"It becomes dark,the places become cool and light." i said.
"ok. Tell me one more thing." he said.
"No,first tell me why do we throw that food."I interrupt.
"First answer me u will get your answer in this question." he said
"ok."I said.
"so" he lift me up and put me in his lap, "what do we do to remove bacteria from water?." he asked.
"Because there are a lot of impurities in the water we boil it." I said.
"Yes." he said "Same thing sun do, because of its heat all bacteria dies."
"ok so." I looked at him.
" If moon block sun in that time,yeah its for sometime but, in that small time bacteria grows in their fastest speed and it grows every where,food,water,our body around us."
"hmmm. And its bad for us to eat that kind of bad food,andif we throw that food that bacteria don't harm us " I answered.
He looked at me and smile.
From that day I understood that our religious rituals and customs are scientifically proved, but old people never understood science so religious heads name them religion.
We are prohibited by our religion to eat green leafy vegetables,broccoli,cabbage and that kind of vegetable in monsoon times because they have bacteria and gems,worms in them,which is dangerous for us.
Even Ramadan comes in monsoon and Muslims fast. It has reason, during we natura
lly don't feel hungry, but we eat as our mind is set to eat, but it is not advisable to eat in the monsoon much, because humid weather our body cycle runs on its slowest speed,and if we eat it has to work which results into slow digestion.
