The Day when I became Vegetarian

I liked non-veg food a lot when I was young. May be because I didn’t know at that time what it actually was…. The favourite of my lot was Chicken Biryani. I use to cry just to have that. Unbeknown from the fact that it was made up of chickens by killing them. But I was so innocent and dumb that one day I really questioned mom “ Is this made from the real chickens?”. My mom acted smart and answered “ No, it’s not”. May be because she knew if she’s true I might stop eating that even. Many times mom use to take me to a pure-veg hotel and in disguise of non-veg she use to order Biryani with nutrella for me. I am glad for that!! I still thought mom was fooling me for the question I asked her brfore. I then asked once what’s the difference between the two chickens? she laughed and told me they aren’t any different. It may be because she thought I won’t stop eating it as I loved it when I didn’t know it. It was a day when we were going to my Nani’s place. Our rickshaw passed through a slaughter house and I was stunned by looking at the slaughtered goats. But my mom just tried to keep me cool by closing my eyes. Out of my innocence I asked whether the chickens too are slaughtered such? And was shocked to know the answer. Well I was very non-violent person and was a true animal lover, couldn’t even think of such things. It was from that very day I hated non-veg just because of the fact that innocent animals were the source. No offences to ones who eat non-veg. but I feel just remember as we can speak and express animals can’t!! I am glad for all vegetarians but truly no offences to non-vegetarians.
