Twin BananaIn Bangladeshi culture, there are some superstitions which may seem too ridiculous to others. One of these superstitions is about twin banana. These bananas naturally grow twin from Banana tree. The superstition about it is that no girl is allowed to eat twin bananas because if they eat twin banana, they will give birth of twins attached together like bananas! I have never tried this type of bananas in my life. Whenever my father brought twin bananas at home, mom give it to my father to eat before I eat that! Men can eat these banana because they don't have to bear child, so they have no fear of getting twins!
Evil Egg!!
We have superstition about egg too. Eating egg before exam means that you will get egg, I mean zero in the exam! My aunt believe in this suprestiton about egg, and never let my cousin to eat egg before exams! Though my aunt is superstitious about it, my mom does not care about egg. She let us eat egg before our exam because it is extra protein which is good for health. If you go Bangladesh, you will face more superstitions, such as, looking at full moon with your spouse indicates very very bad luck in future with your children, Leaving home looking backward, putting a broom in the door steps and so on. These superstitions are very funny, but they play significant role in the culture.
