Evil eye?

in #farming5 years ago

Is there such a thing as an evil eye?

I am not sure but the bitter gourd plant came down hours after I posted a picture as my WhatsApp status update.

How did it come down?

Never saw it but the creeper must have got tangled in the cow's horns when it passed by, yesterday evening.

I am so sad because it had four new baby gourds growing very well and now it won't grow big unless the plant overcomes the plight.

Do you believe in the evil eye thing?

Hereabouts, grandmas take a fistful of salt and encircle the affected person and then throw it in the fire or water, to remove the evil eye.

Are you aware of such customs?

All images are mine. I did not want to take a photo of the now trampled creeper.These were taken before.
