The Conscious Omnivore

Image
I did think of mentioning as Non-vegetarian rather than Omnivore but it kind of gave a unique status to us humans; which is not required. Many humans are Omnivores and that’s it. A vegetarian is an Herbivore and that is fine too.  Ok now to the point. If we as humans feel that we necessarily have to supplement with animal food/products for any reason ( for eg.medical advice ) I suggest below is probably a way to do it right ; which makes us fully conscious humans. Basically the act of consumption needs to be done consciously.( I have not added the taste, cultural practice of eating meat and other aspects as that is outside the purview of this blog ) 1) B efore eating or cooking please start with thanking the food item(Milk; animal meat ,egg, fish etc ) for having spared its life for us. While thanking kindly experience that we are enjoying a major luxury. The luxury is that of having killed(milk is involves killing too);  another living being that could have seen God's sky...

Most of us long to visit new places ; relish visiting remote lands, exploring and experiencing the different, savouring the change. But it will never be enough. We will keep craving for new experiences. To really appreciate this life and break the monotony( rather shock you out of monotony); it will be worthwhile to visit Hospitals Old Age homes Slaughter houses Animal shelters Sanctuaries for the mentally ill Home for the disabled/blind Orphanages/ refugee Camps Centres for palliative care for the terminally ill Cemeteries/ Burial grounds “ Returns” from these visits; To know that we just got incredibly lucky to be just the way we are To permit any residual Pride to give way to humility To realize that however mighty man is , all can change in a few seconds To those who fear death…..; please know those who wish for death To help open one’s eyes in kindness Realize how much simple words of love and ...

The Unseen Pain

This post will take 10 mins of your time but  if you can spread the word;  it will pave  the way to relieve crores from suffering Having been associated with animal rescue groups for few years ;  tried to put down what are the possible ways to improve the distressing situation.  Animals don’t complain. All we have get to hear is  the first yelp during a injury and a last howl just few minutes before death. IN between they just retreat to a corner; waiting for a human and humanity.

Corona with all those spikes looked ugly , however the tiny guy who he introduced as his friend looked cute. ( The Tiny One Looked like a dart ; all red and neat feathers at one end.     I asked for his name ; but Corona just ignored my question. How rude I thought; he smiled as if he knew what I was thinking   ) Roll camera …action ………… Me: Corona, need to express a serious concern ….don’t you think you have overstayed your welcome. Our guys are at their wits end, battling what you are causing. C : My purpose of meeting you is precisely the same. It is 6 months now and you seem to have learned nothing. What do you mean battling ? I am no foe. I a...
