Shining my shoes

I didn't polish my shoes this morning because whenever I do it, it rains. I have seen that if I polish my shoes, wear clother that take long to dry, wash my car or generally anything that could be affected adversly by rain, it rains.

This made me thought about Indra-the god of rains. There are people who are worshipping him, trying to please him so that he will bless them in rains in draught affected areas. If only those people knew that Indra can be pleased just by polishing their shoes.
