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...

Shouldn't we draw a line now???

Madhur Bhandarkar’s latest directorial, ‘Fashion’, primarily focuses on revealing the dark side of the fashion industry about which many youngsters aspiring to be a part of are unaware. The attempt was really appreciable as it is an eye-opener to the ignorant lot who believe that the industry is only glitz and glamour. Besides the many harsh realities showcased in the movie about this industry, it has been instrumental in displaying the adulteration of ethics in other professions. I was totally repulsed watching one particular scene in the film where the media (television and print) crosses its ethical limits to tarnish the reputation of a young model who happened to be involved in an unfortunate accident while walking the ramp in a show. Character assassination is a very common term when it concerns today’s media. Be it Aarushi Talwar or this ill-fated model. Besides this, some so-called “news” channels have simply lost track of what they ought to cover. A couple of months back it was...

Of Innocence and Children

When I used to sing Akhiyon ke jharokon se (not as a dedication to a 2 year old :) )to Ananya, my youngest cousin ; simply cause I loved the song and she probably loved the tune or (if I may hope) to listen to me sing, she would just rest her little head on my chest and look up at me... watch me sing. I would feel an utmost sense of contentment in life at that moment, seeing her innocent, loving eyes looking at me and loving me with no prejudices. Loving me, the way only a child can do and no one else can... not even me. I wish we all had that much of a clarity in thoughts, in actions and in love as much as a child has. I wish we all were not stripped off that innocence we had as children. I wish to be a child again... This is a dedication to the most beautiful child I've ever known... To the one who has already won so many hearts around her and is here to conquer many more... To Ananya...
