going veg.?

is it right to eat animals? aren't they also living beings? this is an ongoing debate since- god knows when! the animal lovers comes up with a wide array of reasons suggesting the cruelty in eating an animal. if you listen to them, no doubt, you will hate yourself for being so ruthless.

but let me talk about the other side of the coin. i strongly believe that there is nothing wrong in being a non- vegetarian.
here are a few reasons which would support my point.

reason 1:
aren't plants too living beings? they too have feelings. they too have pain. if you are so considerate, then stop eating plants too.

reason 2:
some creatures are herbivores(eg. deer)
some creatures are carnivores(eg. lion)
while some others are omnivores. and the typical example is man. now that is the cycle of nature. a perfect combination has to be there in this world to strike a balance.
if nature wants us to eat both plants and animals, why should we create such a hungamma?

reason 3:
in the Bible there is a story where Peter sees a vision in which all animals of the earth are brought down and then God tells Peter "Peter, kill and eat. for none of God's creation is unclean"

now if God himself does not have a problem, who does?

learn to strike a balance. eating to fill your stomach is not a sin. but killing for sport until the point where it gets extinct, well, that is something which need to be controlled!

inspire yourself

how much time is needed to change a man?one hour? one day? a year?
well, i would say, its not the time but the motivation we get from within.
and when this motivation is given by one of the best trainers in India, its even better.
the past 3 days has changed the lives of 75 students in some way or the other.
we had a very very inspirational speaker. he is a faculty of IIM, chief mentor there and also trains IAS, IPS and IFS officers. he is MR. Vijay Menon.
one thing i was truly impressed was with his public speaking skills. the way he conveys his ideas, the power and confidence with which he says things and of course his vocabulary. well in many instances, i really wished i had i a dictionary with me.

this blog is not to describe his merits. i would like to share a few of his great thoughts which really had an impact on me.

one very important thing he said was- BE ORIGINAL. you might want to please the world, be popular and accepted. the more you try to fake, the more you will be dissatisfied with your life.

always remember this phrase, "life is a echo, you get back what you give". never expect the world to do something for you. you do your part and the rest will follow.

here is a really inspiring example. if you try to catch your shadow, you will always chase and never catch. but if you face the light, the shadow will come behind you.
this is true in all aspects of life.

and finally one the last day came the cream of all sayings and examples. it goes like this
"for the world you are somebody, but for somebody you are everybody"
this is the basic purpose of life. the reason we live and want to live.
