Superstitions still exist!
We heard many stories of superstitions either from our grandfathers, grandmothers or from others. But, gradually we all took them for mere superstitions. But in this 21st century one cannot but wonder when superstitions do exist among the people of the developed countries!
Looking closely, you'll see that footballers usually touch the soil of the field before entering the field and before leaving it as well. Players like Maradona, Batistuta, Ronaldhinho do it regularly.
The same kind of gesture is popular among cricketers. After scoring a century or a half-century players look up to the sky. Some are seen kissing the very soil that brought them fame.
