Still Deciding Whether to Convert to a Veg Or Not

I might have consumed every possible living animal on earth as a kid, but way back in 2001, I finally decided to give up meat for good. That was one thing not hard for me to stick with.

My reasons were different... too scientific for some, crazy for others, weird for the rest who loved and continue to love non-veg.

But how about you? Are you in that dilemma about it, whether to take the first step towards eating poultry, fish, an animal's flesh, whether to leave non-veg today or tomorrow... still deciding whether to convert to a veg ... Check out the videos here ... you wont give it a second thought any longer: www.goveg.com/

Ever wonder what it’d be like to be a vegetarian? Do you think living without meat or animal products would be impossible?

Today, challenge yourself by putting your ideas to the test. Try a vegetarian diet for one day. Really embrace what this means by learning something about why vegetarians choose their lifestyle. It’ll be a great experience for both your palate and your beliefs.

I promise to come back to this one, pretty soon with my own reasons, very different from the ones in those websites, of what made me leave non-veg.

Till then happy eating!

On facebook I am a part of the group called the Indian Vegans... where I read a lot of folks write about the reason to turn to veganism as trying not to be cruel to animals. I want to add that's just one of the three main reasons we should NOT consume animal products. Plus instead of hating animal consumers, I pity them... since the biggest damage they do is to non other than 'themselves'!! The human body is not designed to consume meat in the first place. I want to write more about it now, but will come back later on this one. In addition the third biggest reason to condemn meat is that NOT environmentally friendly.

Alopathy Versus Naturopathy / Home Remedies

Read this article below - This is the #one reason, why I dont believe on allopathic medicines

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1110ap_cold_medicine_removal.html

In reality it is not animals, but us human beings who are the target of experimentation of this stream of science. The article clearly mentions - "These medications were never designed to cure colds but only to treat cold symptoms, and in children under two there was little evidence they were effective anyway," said Tom-Revzon, who is pharmacy manager at the Children's Hospital at Mentefiore in New York City."

...When I asked the same question from my school friends these are some of the responses I got:

1.
"I depend and believe only on homeopathy and yoga for all cures and even on home remedies......and hardly take any medicine....My father practices homeopathy so I know quiet a lot about medicines... I have seen my father curing a person who use to hide under the bed fearing someone would kill him after sunset.....his medication took time but payed.....his is perfectly well now and working with Indian railways... I keep lots of homeopathey medicines at home...like if hurt then Arnica for gastric probs then carbovage,rustox,calcaria phos etc.....

it is without side effects.... "


2.
" I am to a big fan of homeopathy......it never has any side-effects.....my dad has passed on the knowledge of homeopathy.....
I'm a half doc(homeo ki [;d] )
I mostly give homeo to Srish [Deepti: My friends' kid] too....giving cold medicines for kids under 2 is not advisable at all....
Best option is to do a combination of home remedies + homeopathy.....both for adults n kids...(until unless u hve to take alopathy for chronic disease)

Dealing with rough / tough colleagues

Hi folks,
Here are some tips I learnt as a coordinator for Mainframe Migration of Sales Audit:

1. To decently enforce yourself while writing an email use funny language such as:

a.
[soapbox on]
your nasty thoughts
[soapbox off]

b. Tell clearly:
"Now I guess I would have to be the bad guy, and come out and say wont be possible."

2. When someone fails to understand your point repeatedly - tell him/her:
"I understand your point, but please give me a minute to explain my side of this explanation .... "

3. when some one repeatedly fails to do something:
"...it has occurred to me that I haven't told you, the next time you refuse to answer questions; I'll have to ask our boss to help get the information". (This makes it clear you speak softly, not nicely and carry big consequences)

4. Lastly and most important.
Nothing in life really matters. Projects come and go and you are released from the project, all in the sake of your own career growth, and then moved to a project with higher challenges, better visibility and more growth opportunities [read: kicked out, or thrown away, discarded - like a house-fly from a glass of milk as soon as you are not required]. Oh does that sound like something very familiar , Well welcome to the the IT world !.

Bottom-line: Just learn to chill and relax... yeah I am still learning, or I wouldn't have been writing all this myself !!
