Yes, being vegetarian isn't a big topic to think about, but it really made me think a lot when I moved to Malappuram district.
The change from college student to a working atmosphere was a step to independence with much hope. Making new friends, a new atmosphere, being away from home, the new taste of food, the climate and many more aspects were really challenging.
'Vegetarianism' seems to sound smooth and good, but 'being Vegetarian' is not as black and white, but has shades of gray.
The hostel I stay in gives non-veg food too. On my 'fresher' days, say I say, 'I am a Vegetarian' to my fellow hostelites. Later I will be forced to answer all the 'wh' questions and 'if's & but's arise.
Where ever I go for food, I ask twice for veg food to conform and as a reply, I get free advice to have non-veg food. Lack of protein, under weight, unhealthy, could not survive in society, and the advice list goes on & on...
Few appreciate it, while some others feel pity as I can't taste this delicious non-veg food. Anyway, I am truly proud of being so. The reason for being vegetarian is not just parental causes, but also because of animal love, health bothers and to be different from others.
