The Choice is yours...

This is for vegetarians, to feel content about being so.
And for the non-vegetarians to re-think what they are doing.

I couldn't even watch more than 2:30 mins of this video. So, please, its a caution for all those who will be watching it. I do not like to showcase violence ,but sometimes it becomes an inevitable tool to spread awareness for a good and a higher cause. Its simply human psychology to see or hear the negative of something to refrain from doing it rather than hearing all the positive and get inspired.

When I chose to become a vegetarian, (firstly, out of requirements for Vedic chanting and then followed by my own personal, inner call , I hadn't seen any such videos to provoke me) there were a few people who appreciated my move and some who told me I am going to lack on a nutritious diet. Well, I made it a point to include enough of pulses and broccoli and high nutrient content in my diet, to supplement to the so called "loss" by body may be going through. But, today after watching just a minute and a half of this video, I am glad... I am really glad that I am not a part of this barbaric act of being a non-vegetarian. And I believe that I certainly DO NOT need any such nutrients for my living that is at the cost of the lives of innocent and harmless creatures.

I never ever wanted to preach vegetarianism to anyone. I never did to even to my parents. Now, I will, for sure, tell them to stick on to what they have chosen. I certainly do not want to tell others the positives of being a veggie, cause I know for a fact that, I will definitely have more of pros than cons. Even if I may have cons, I guess that wouldn't come anywhere close to the pros. I don't want to make anyone feel even a little guilty for what they are doing, knowingly or unknowingly. So I always thought its best to "choose and let others choose what they want" .

I am sorry if I am intruding into your personal choices and life-style to show this piece of video. But as a responsible human-being with a "conscience" , I feel I cannot look away from my responsibility of spreading awareness.

Thank you and sorry... But ultimately, the ball is in your court...

The Postscript

I was on a call, walking across the dining room of their home, completely engrossed in the conversation with my mother. Their double pedestal 18th century French style 10-seater table lay cluttered with papers, documents, bills,etc. under the glimmering crystal chandelier. As I was walking and my finger carelessly running through rim of the table, my eyes caught the attention of two baronial envelopes with the recipients addressed on them. One read " To Daddy, From Son " , the other " To Son ". But what caught my attention was not this, but the postscript just a few inches below the latter note. It read, " P.S: Sorry for my poor handwriting ". Knowing the father in this context, and having read such a postscript, my mind wandered into deep thoughts about this man. It raced back to the memories of the last weekend of June when the blissful days with Her Holiness also brought with it new relationships that will be cherished for a lifetime. Here is a man of ...

Les Miserables - I

Now, after so many months of dormancy, I would like to just post the lyrics of a couple of songs from the musical ' Les Miserables' . Must say, these are some of the most beautiful songs I have heard in a while... Here is the first one... I Dreamed a Dream [Fantine is left alone, unemployed and destitute] [FANTINE] There was a time when men were kind When their voices were soft And their words inviting There was a time when love was blind And the world was a song And the song was exciting There was a time Then it all went wrong I dreamed a dream in time gone by When hope was high And life worth living I dreamed that love would never die I dreamed that God would be forgiving Then I was young and unafraid And dreams were made and used and wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung, no wine untasted But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder As they tear your hope apart And they turn your dream to shame He slept a summer by my side He filled my days ...

Les Miserables - II

Here's the next one... Bring Him Home (Valjean is standing over Marius at the barricade) [VALJEAN] God on high Hear my prayer In my need You have always been there He is young He's afraid Let him rest Heaven blessed. Bring him home Bring him home Bring him home. He's like the son I might have known If God had granted me a son. The summers die One by one How soon they fly On and on And I am old And will be gone. Bring him peace Bring him joy He is young He is only a boy You can take You can give Let him be Let him live If I die, let me die Let him live Bring him home Bring him home Bring him home. Jean Valjean is the central character of Victor Hugo's 1862 novel Les Miserables. Marius Pontmercy a character from the same novel.
