Today a solar eclipse could be observed in Bangalore. Almost the whole sun was covered and the leaves overhead threw nice sickle-shaped shadows on the roads. However in India many people stay at home during the eclipse and do not consume any food or drinks. While others observe the spectacle with cheap paper sun glasses, others fear to leave the house. They believe in the superstition that it is a bad omen and has an impact on the mental health. It could also harm the unborn child in case the woman is pregnant.

So what about you? Did you get eclipsed already?
