Who does not want good luck? Most
people pray to God for good marks in exams, a life partner, to make them rich
overnight and what not! However, luck is so notorious that though at times it
acts in favour, there are times when it ditches too. We wish each other luck
before beginning something important or when we go for an exam or a business
meeting. After all, we all wish to be blessed with prosperity. There are many who make regular visits to
fortune-tellers to know if luck will favour them in the future. There are also
certain objects that we consider to be lucky. This differs from culture to
culture – from hanging horseshoes at the front door of a house, to putting
coins under doorsteps to bring financial gains in the family. Four-leaf
clovers, rabbit's foot and fortune frogs are some of the common symbols of good
luck that are found in Western and Asian cultures.
