Trading Places with a Stranger

Would you trade places with a stranger? Yes/No?

What if he/she was better off than you? Or had a great personality or greater looks? How about a successful entrepreneur or an iconic figure? Would you like to be them even for a day?

Let me tell you that all of the above reasons, to trade places with a stranger are temporary pleasures in nature. 

You'll soon yearn for the privacy and the quiet life you once enjoyed. 

Mostly, too much attention will choke you - unless you are an attention-seeker and enjoy being in the limelight all the time. 

It is one of the topics I discuss in my next book. There were some bizarre reasons I have researched that gave rise to people trading places even for a night with a stranger!

Now, what shall I title the book? I am still mulling on that one.

Thank you for reading. Have a great weekend and happy holidays. I am dreaming of a White Christmas...

Whatever have we done to Friday the 13th?

Friday the 13th is considered an unlucky day in many cultures. The months of September and today, the 13th of December, have the privilege of hosting the day and date. I say privileged because, in many cultures, people avoid the day like a rash and the months have historical representation!

 In Norse Mythology, Loki the Trickster God, was the uninvited 13th guest at a banquet, which led to chaos and tragedy and established the day/number as unlucky. 

 In Christian Tradition, Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus, was the 13th guest at the Last Supper. 

 

In medieval Europe, Fridays were chosen as execution days, since perceived as ill-fated days.

Anyway, it's terrible to be associated with bad luck. The superstition is hard to ignore since it was established centuries ago. 

Whatever have we done to Friday, the 13th.

 Wishing you much luck and joy always - shobana.
