The woes of being a non-vegetarian in a vegetarian India


i'd always been this pampered daddy's girl..with nice chubby cheeks and a size u wudnt call small..thanx 2 my "chicken twice a day" diet.the "Halim's"-thats my family,love good food,n i am no exception.. our migration 2 india from a country that survives on animal food never made much of a difference,4 the "home-fed" me.. 4 i was still a "chicken twice a day" girl.. never made a difference...till...i was sent 2 a hostel!!

im known 2 b very adjusting..n the new "pure veggie" menu was,as i took it "just another of the new changes around me".......

one and a half years down the lane..

im no more that chubby cheeks girl i used 2 be...i've lost weight like i'm just back after a liposuction!! my features r ever more prominent,atleast i know how my cheekbones look now,without having 2 dissect my face,the thing we do 2 cadavers at medskool..... ALL THANKS 2 the vegetarian food... :(..

vegetarian foods yumm...n nutritious..n less fattening...but it sure is the most boring form of food for a chronic non-vegetarian poor girl like me...!! i often wonder how people can feast on "grass" for all their lives!! n how less variety there is!!... atleast at hostel... breaks all barriers of monotony... God bless me poor girl!!

  1. I agree with you its really tough for a non-veggie but that's the way this country is, full of extremities on one hand you have places like-old delhi,lucknow,rampur and hyderabad where u have non veg food available in abundance and on other hand you have rajasthan and south India.
    This was the birthday gift you requested on one of the orkut communities. Now oblige me with one of your comments on my blog which is
    requiemofthought.wordpress.com
    I'll consider it my birthday gift which is coming soon.

  4. i think its tougher for a veggie to adjust to a non veg country
    a veggie usually eat's only veggie's and only veggie's
    but non-veggies can eat it all that makes them the lukier bunch rite.
