[From

(Dedicated to a Vegetarian 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!
