Of Vegetables And Vegetarians

The other day at work, they organized a pizza lunch for everyone... At lunch time, everybody trooped into the kitchen to pick up some pizza... Just as I entered the kitchen I realized that I had left my phone at a friend's desk... So I turned around to go back and get it... As I was leaving the kitchen this white lady looks at me and says "What happened ? Didn't they order any vegetarian pizza ?"

I was so fri**ing pissed at her... llike, what the **** ! Just because I'm brown, does that mean I'm supposed to be a fri**ing vegetarian ?? I have never been so insulted in my life...

Here is my take on vegetarianism...

I am a hard core carnivore !! I absolutely detest vegetables of all shapes, sorts, and sizes !!

I firmly believe in the food chain... Plants feed on nutrients in the ground.... Animals and birds feed on plants... And humans feed on animals and birds... If I start eating vegetables, wouldn't that be breaking the food chain that God himself/herself designed ? Who am I to mess with his/her will ?

I believe that if everybody on this planet were vegetarians, then wouldn't we all be depriving animals and birds of their food ? Since they can't possibly compete with humans for the same food, they would probably all starve to death... Oh, those poor things.... I shudder to think of that... Sigh... ;)

Of course, its not like I don't use vegetables at all in my cooking... Vegetables have very good decorative value... Bell peppers, spinach, tomatoes, etc, all make my food really colorful and hence more appetizing... :D

Also, I just hate those "eggetarians"... They are nothing but hypocritical fri**ing abortionists !! Why can't they just let that poor little egg develop into a chicken, live its life to fulfillment and then serve a more noble cause (my dinner:)) in its death ?

Now here's the downside to it all... The other day I went to get a medical checkup... Got the result back... My good cholestrol is practically non-existent and my bad cholestrol number is through the roof... The doc scolded (yes, literally scolded) me about my diet and told me to quit red meat for a while... :((
As they say (And I quote my favourite hindi line)... "Jab Naseeb Aay Gandu, Tab Kya Karega Bechara Pandu"...

Time For Unisex Locker Rooms?

Sometime back I went to the gym as part of my annual workout (I have a small checklist of things to do for the year... "Visiting" the gym is one of them)... While I was changing, I noticed some guy trying to check me out...
Its not like I have anything against gay people, but it did make me think about the gross discrimination against straight people... Why do straight people have to use separate locker rooms while gays & lesbains walk around happily in the midst of half-clad people ?? Its just not fair to straight people...
So either we have four separate types of lockers rooms or we have just one unisex one... I propose the latter...
