Changing clothes

Sri Lankan culture is based on a considerable number of myths which have been continuing from the ancient times. These are the beliefs and thoughts of the people who lived in early days. This one myth which can be annoying at times is changing clothes before any graceful occasion or an event. For an example, you have an exam today and you choose some dress to wear, but once you wear it you realize that you don't want to wear it and go so you change it. If you do this, according to the myth, it brings you bad luck on your exam. If it is an interview, you will not get through. This is one type of myth Sri Lankans believe in. I wanted to try this out so i did it once before an exam. I ended up getting an average mark but it wasn't that bad. It's yet to be decided whether this is true or not.
