Debate

Today we r going to discuss what being a vegan means to us as individuals n the planet in its entirety.
Being a vegan means a person who does not eat meat, does not consume dairy, does not wear leather n other clothing items which come from harming animals and does not use any such products which may be the direct result of harming animals.
Now what wud induce a person to go vegan? Of course these days the most popular reason is change in one's diets which leads to healthier eating habits which lead to a better lifestyle. Healthy body, glowing skin n hair, who doesn't want it??
But what's the other n real reason for going Vegan?
Compassion of course. Awakening of one's conscience. Nobody has the right to  harm,torture n kill other species for ones consumption.. all living beings have been created equal in the eyes of God. N even if thats not the case we have been given the intelligence, conscience n the gift of speech to make the right choices.
We as a species are responsible for those who cannot speak for themselves. We as a species have to take a conscious decision to not harm the other species on the planet coz by doing so we r only hastening the end of our time on earth.
So think n more than thinking ..... feel.

The agony of family visits

I m currently on a "family vacation" at my mom's house in our native place which is quite modern. I m forced to mention this since in our Indian culture, we tend to think of our native place as that rural place where we go duty bound once a year to pay our dues. Anyways, here I m with my dysfunctional family of two elder brothers one of whom refuses to acknowledge me as his sister n the other still trying to control the house. And I discovered something suddenly today..well..not so much as discovered as realised...it was an eureka moment... I realised that Indian men(most of them) do not appreciate the intelligence of Indian women. They still see themselves as some superior, highly intelligent species ( and here I m trying very hard to control my vocabulary n not give vent to the abusive language that is itching to come out of me).  Some of my male readers out there may feel offended by reading this.. however to prove my point,i will give you all a simple example..an ...

Being Vegan

The idea of being vegan is to reduce as much suffering n cruelty towards other species as possible. It does not n shud not make a vegan feel self righteous but its also not cool when others come on a mud slinging fest by saying things like plants also have life etc n quoting others. There r people in this world who r fruitarians n others who only eat that which falls of a tree. I do not even know what they r called. Some People try to live as much of an impact free life as they r capable of. And this can only happen when ur conscience awakens within u. One person's ideology is just his own. It can't be a majority. Pls get ur facts right n before anything else, more importantly have a heart. Feel. Think if it's ur wife who was raped every nine months so that she cud provide milk for other people's consumption,how wud u feel? Think if it was ur child who as soon as he/she dropped out of its mother's womb was picked off the ground n carted off to a butchery to be slaug...
