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...

Ignorance is bliss??

This is a different sort of a post from me today. I am very nostalgic today as I listen to my malayalam playlist. After traversing half the globe, and just after 2 months of my stay here, I have begun to miss my mother-tongue. I miss my home-town in general. I miss Malayalam.... I miss the divine atmosphere of the temples.... I miss the reverberating moments during the deeparadhanas .... I miss the smell of wet earth... I miss the sight of greenery like how its in Kerala... I miss the sight of towering coconut trees... I miss the sight of the language in the shop boards and compound walls.... I miss the feel of the humid air rather than the conditioned air here... I miss the chaos on the streets... I miss the sight of backwaters... I feel overwhelmed with so much of emotions and love for the language as the melody of the music fills my heart. But as I express these melancholic feelings... I am also filled with ignominy towards the nonchalant people of a common mother-tongue about their...

Irony unsurpassed...

"Your identity as i know is like this, Name: Rashid, Religion: Humanity..." . These were the words of ' Indira ' a character from the acclaimed Malayalam novelist M.T Vasudevan Nair 's screenplay ' Panchagni '. So very significant is this one line that comes towards the end of the movie...The world would have been so much better off if everyone recognized every other man around him with such kind of an identity. We are so entwined with all our multiple identities; that of caste, religion, language, race, color, sex, etc .. that we overlook the one common factor that binds us, that of being in the same species!! We are all human beings first... the "greatest" of all of God's creations as we claim to be. We all fail to stay united no matter how many ever lessons life teaches us. It is at times of natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis,that one forgets the numerous identities he has and rushes forward to extend his he...
