[From the Author of “Poems by Kolki –
Absolutely Humane”, a recipe for better world]

World – Deepak Sarkar, www.kolki.com)
I used to love meat!
I was raised among poultry
and fish!
Nothing could excite my
hunger best
Than just thought of curried
egg and omelet!
Slowly I kept on losing
Appetite for meat and
poultry
Egg was still favorite,
Until the look became detesting!
Stuck in a meat based
society
My sudden conversion wasn’t
easy!
At times it felt like
self-defeating
Until I learn my own way of
cooking!
Used spices for the flavor I
was missing
Cut vegetables that appear
appetizing
A good ripe fruit made my
mouth watering
Meat substitutes tasted
great without smelling!
Even my desert egg-less rice
pudding
Became famous like Grandma’s
cooking!
Overall it made me a better
human being
Ready to preach for peace and vegetarianism!
