Being Veggie!

Happened long back, while dining with some colleagues. During the casual discussion of how the day was spent, one of my friends, who was sitting next to me said that she had "Biryaani" during lunch! Chicken Biryaani...!!! Arghhhh...!!! I couldn't continue my dinner comfortably. Okay, for all who don't know, I'm a hardcore vegetarian! As in, I could not imagine myself sitting next to the person who had gulped an innocent chicken just a few hours before. The pictures of that poor life residing into my friend's stomach were flashing in my mind.
This may sound funny to read. But on a serious note, we crib so much when we find a cockroach or any small insect in the food. How can we be happy killing million such innocent lives, of chicken, of goats, of cows and what not, only to satisfy our taste buds? Imagine, A chicken is being killed "live" in front of you!!! Can you see that? Can you bear that? I guess not. Ek zindagii kii peeda hum kaise dekh sakte hain? And if it is about being health-conscious, fit and strong, look at veggies! They're absolutely fit and fine. So can everyone else be, without being a non-vegetarian!
