Veg And Non Veg

Veg and NonVeg

I have been inspired by Dimwit's wonderful blog " Veg v/s Non Veg",and it is a thriller, in the meat sense




My mom,dad,Granparents were all meat eaters, so by the fault of Genes,I too became a non veg.And my mother tells me, that when she was pregnant with me, she had the urge to eat lots of Fish.So its not fault of mine that i am a fish lover.My whole family and ancestors conspired to make me a Non Veg,and put me at loggerheads with my wife who is a veg.It seems my forefathers used to fish for a living.


A Saint told me around 15 yrs back told me not to eat non veg on Mondays and Thursdays,and i have kept that vow as much as i can.there are 52 mondays in a year, and 52 thursdays, so that makes it 104.Now breaking 4 out of 104, is a very small percentage,and this margin is allowed in all spheres of life.


The Best case came in Spain where i had gone to book orders.Me and my mumbai brother went out for dinner with my buyer.It was a Monday,and around 10 in the night.He asked me and i told him i will non veg today,keeping the 4 days to break my vow.My brother did not want to eat Non veg, i coaxed him,but to no avail.So we ordered boiled potatoes and bread for him with some butter and cheese.And i dug into my chicken like a Hungry fellow.Well he was watching me,suddenly he says Ok, I will also join u guys.Maybe he got put off by the bland food staring at him.I asked him what made him change his mind.He said Spain is 4 hours behin India,so since it is Monday 10 pm Spain, it must be 2 am India,and we are veggies by Indian days and not by Spanish Days !Wah kya argument hai.I was bowled over by his judjement.And we ate with a neat consience,and even in indonesia, i followed the same policy,and had a ball and loads of cholestrol maybe.


My mom is getting on in years.She seems to forget what she told me as a child.She used to tell me,if we dont eat fishes, they multiply so fast, that ships will not be able to sail.and these days she keeps calling me to say ,dont eat today, it is Satyanarayan, or today is Diwali etc.I have to tell her, Mom , i dont eat 104 days a year.And u want to add more days to that torture.Either i will eat everyday,and follow yr Satnarayan, or dont pls ever remind me what day it is.So these days she dosnt tell me anything.


My wife, poor thing misses out on such lovely food.She has a hard time to decide what to tell the maid to make.Arre,Toori to kal khaiye thi, bhendi to parsoo khayi thi, and she is at a loss to know what to eat.For me there are so many things.Mutton has legs, liver and kidney, brain,and the regular meat, in fish we have fish, prawns,lobsters,chciken is chicken, i love pork,ham and sausages.No wonder my skin is so oily,and hair black.And my wife has white hair,bad back,and other aches.But she wont listen to Kamalji.
As Ive heard, Hitler was a veg,and Mother Teressa and Dalai Lama are non veg.So i dont want to be a hitler dear friends.(but neither a Mother Teressa for sure too)


I dedicate this small silly poem to my non veg friends.Here goes.

Those who eat Meat,
Are always neat and clean,

When down comes the Rain,
And Water flows down the Drain,
Try eating a Goat Brain.

I Drool at the sight of a Chick, ( its chicken StupidO
After i eat it, my finger and paws i lick.

And lovely looks the Dish,
which is adorned with the lovely Fish.


So guys and Gals,the choice uis yours.If u are in Spain, be a Spanish,and eat Every thing that moves on 4 legs.the choice is yours.Ive already made mine.Amen
