Are eggs vegetarian?

Are eggs vegetarian? It has been a huge question mark to many friends when they go like,” hey egg can eat what..Vegetarian what?, when I say that I do not eat eggs. This article could be a good read for Indians who fast on Tuesdays or Fridays by being vegetarian but would also add scrambled eggs in their meals, and to Brahmins who are so ignorant about the ingredients list to check for eggs when buying a chocolate bar or buying pastries.

Hens are given five kinds of violent-generating foods: bone meal, blood-meal, excreta-food, meat-meal and fish-meal. Can we dare to call eggs vegetarian food even after learning this? The term vegetarian egg is a first-rate misnomer. The purpose of a fertile egg is to animate life, but an infertile egg has no such purpose and as such should be considered totally inedible.

The egg produced without any contact with the male bird (and thus producing an infertile egg) is also animate because it is born out of the hen's body with its blood and cells. Therefore, its consumption is 100% non-vegetarian. According to the famous American scientist Mr. Philip J. Scramble, no egg is without life in it. The scientists at Michigan University in America have proven it beyond doubt that no egg - fertile or infertile - is without life (inanimate). The hen gives infertile eggs during the absence of the male bird. But it has been observed that she gives an infertile egg before the day of contact with the male bird - and also the next day. In other words, she can give a fertile egg even without contact with a male bird. On the fifth day, again she gives a fertile egg. This means that the semen of the male bird remains lying in her body for a considerable duration. In some cases, this duration has been observed to be as long as even six months. A fertilized egg is a pre-birth stage of a chicken; unfertilized eggs are the result of the sexual cycle of a hen and very unnatural. Both are non-vegetarian food. Victoria Moran, the author of the book Compassion: The Ultimate Ethics says, to eat fertilized egg is in fact to consume a chicken before its birth (The Ethic on borderline). I was told that an unfertilized egg is the product of a bird's sexual cycle and can hardly be regarded as natural food for Man. Whether the egg is fertile or infertile, life is essentially there; and it has all the symptoms of life, such as respiration, brain, feeding ability, etc. There are 15,000 porous-breathing holes on the shell, the cover of the egg. The egg begins to rot at a temperature of less than 8^ Celsius, 00^ Fahrenheit. When it begins this process, its rotting manifests itself through evaporation of the water content. The egg becomes infected by germs and thus becomes diseased. The progress of the rotting soon reaches the shell of the egg.

I hope I have given a logical and perhaps also a scientific explanation. My purpose is not to say people are wrong or to brainwash their minds( Oh how indirect can I be?) but to speak my point here and to clear the doubts people have regarding this matter.

Indian Dance Groups!: Really Dhool man!

The dance performance I watched last Saturday at my friends’ 21st birthday finally made me scrap my opinions in my blog.

It was a dance performed by one of the famous Indian dance groups in Singapore who were one of the participants in the last Dhool competition. They danced for their typical remixed songs. Those gun blows, robotic voices, etc. It’s very miserable to know that they participate in a tV12 Competition and the only platform that opens up for them to perform is in the community- centre- Indian variety shows, 21st Birthday Parties or perhaps Vasantham central’s countdown at some beach.

So where is their next stage? What are the benefits of all their efforts, spending loads of cash coming up with supposedly unique costumes (more like an improvisation of the uniform road sweepers wear) and countless days’ rehearsals? Would such performances craft them as the best or win them far? Would fame within the small community of Indians, teenagers be sufficient for them?

I did manage to catch a couple of episodes of the last dhool competition and as usual the competitors felt the judges were rude, unfair and not making any sense. But hey the reason they are your judges is because they have many years of experience. They are professionally trained dancers and have gone to other countries to perform and to choreograph. These dance group dancers are just formed within a small scale trying to replica what you watch in television without any theoretical and proper training in dance. No proper concept or theme but funny striking dance costumes, remixes and monkey stunts.

We’re living in the world of Talvin Singh (British DJ and table player), DJ Nasha, A R Rahman, and Yuvan Shankar Raja. Indian Musicians who were chosen as the best. You just install a music software bought in a pirated shop in your Pentium 4 Windows XP and jolly well add in some cool effects and call it remix. Where is the originality?

Why can’t the dancers compete with the intention of being the best in the world? Why only amongst a small population? I have watched competitions in Indian Television and to be frank the Singaporeans have so much more energy compared to them but why not use it with an intelligent and aesthetic approach. Many groups are being formed but quality still remains a question mark. The best part is they have grown to be like Hollywood and Bollywood. I remember the days during my last semester in Poly where my final year project mates would be gossiping about the dancers from various groups and it’s like part of the Indian society in Singapore.

When are they going over to perform in India, in USA, in Europe? With their road sweeper material costumes, dumb remixes and similar moves its not going to take them far. It’s “sometimes” amusing.

I am definitely not discouraging these people (but making fun of them of course). I am a percussionist and have performed in major events in Singapore like Sentosa countdown, National day, etc. I have watched dancers from other countries and also local. They have what it takes, Professionalism!

My advice to these people would be to go ahead expand their passion by enrolling in professional dance classes and properly learning the steps and history of the various genres of dance. I hope to not see the same styles, costumes and songs.

I hope to not laugh during their performances but clap and smile with an appreciation. I hope to see them perform in other parts of the world.

P.S If you’re a dancer in one other dance group and your temperature is rising to beat its limited level after reading this article please stop and think about my message. Thank you!

MSN Nick!

Feeling bored last night, I decided to hook up on my notebook and log on to msn messenger to see if there could be potential chatters who would be willing to spend their time and have a chat with me. Just then someone’s nick got mind to be in awe . “You got me feeling sexy...I’ll please you while you please me...” Now what could she have been doing that night.What an expression to make!

I come to realize that msn nicks have been out of the ordinary ways to express something. It could be feelings, situations and also quarrels. The question is, a nick is supposed to be an “a.k.a” name of someone isn’t it?

When we were younger we would probably prefer nicks that were similar to our idles. Like a wolverine fan would like to be called wolverine. For some people when they realize that their real names are too long and difficult to pronounce they would for example convert Swaminathan Kaliyaperumal to Sammy or Kumudha Paneerchelvam to Kums.

It really can be annoying sometimes to see someone have their nick as, “It’s all over between us...I am living in a pool of fears.” Look give me a break, I came to chat, to feel happy and there I go seeing your down in the dumps situation and that turns of my mind. You have so many means to express your sorrow. Talk to someone close, write it out or just get drunk but why reveal it in a limited textbox.

When my friends broke up they used to exchange constructive curses via their msn nicks.
“She bitched me...I will make sure you die bitch”
“You suck you liar. Totally hate guys!”

Another acquaintance lets everyone know her current physical state through her nicks. Previously it was, “ ::(hername) is fat”, now its “::(hername) has short hair now”. Next I am expecting, “::(hername) has big boobs now”.

However there are some people who use their msn nicks wisely like as an advertising channel. My cousin for example wanted to rent out his car as he was heading for a month’s holiday. He had his nick,” Car for rent, Please call ….” It brought him some responses. A friend of mine uses his nick to let everyone know when and where his band would be having their next gig.

Another appealing group of people have quotes as their nicks. Some from spiritual scriptures, some motivating quotes and myself I love to put funny quotes and it did catch the attention of many people who found it funny and gave me the pleasure that I made them laugh and be merry with the exception of one who started getting worried after reading one of my quotes? She immediately messaged me after reading asking if I could change it as it was badly affecting her. She would be getting married end of this year and I am really unsure why my nick could have given her uncomfortable feelings. It went like this,

“Don’t have your marriage ceremony during the day as you never know who you would be meeting at night.”

P.S: Do give me some comments after reading my posts. Thank you!

An Analysis on the Impacts of Sivaji - It did tremble!

I am just wondering if it would be considered an obsession, craze, aesthetic expressionism or just pathetic stupidity.

The most awaited movie in the Indian film industry, mainly in the south, Sivaji has taken the minds of millions into a false realm causing them to do religious things for an irreligious matter, spending loads of sufficient time and money. I am not commenting on the movie but the impression the fans have created amongst themselves which actually although shows the superiority this movie carries but also the low intellectual capacity that it has brought out of its fans.

I was also keen on catching the show although not a Rajinikanth fan but a fan of the director Shankar. It is okay to actually line up early to get a good seat in the cinema and watch the show although it costs 15 dollars. But fans like from India who involve themselves in religious activities for and in the name of the actor was a big turn off for me and probably for the much more educated fans. To shave their heads, sacrifice goats and waste buckets of milk doing what they call, ‘ Abhishek ‘ – showering the gods with milk. When this world as a whole has a huge community suffering from hunger and which even a drop of milk would help, people waste so much.

Another major incident was the rioting in Malaysia because the movie was stopped at a certain point during a screen in some cinema. Sadly there isn't any limitation. Sometimes I feel that political superiority or aristocracy should never be holding a major position in a movie. India although has a grand cultural value and heritage it has political dispositions which create an awakening to the public when they watch a movie supporting their desires. It is sad that they do not realise that what they are watching is just behind some cameras.

The storyline in this movie was having a heavy plot showing great developments in rural India and support activities for the poor. An Indian graduate from a University in the United States comes down and builds hospitals and colleges to cater to the poor providing free education and medicines. Apart from that he develops rural areas making them into much advanced towns. These are desires of the poor in India. This has been their hope. When they tend to watch it they get so involved in the wide screen that they consider the actor to be such a great man without realising that he could only do such things within the screen but not in real life as that it is not his job. To me its considered cheating the minds of the poor by giving them temporary joy.

I conclude with a solution. I do respect Rajinikanth, Shankar and the team but when they see their fans engaging themselves in such activities they could do a voice out stating that its wrong. The fans would definitely listen as Rajini’s message do carry strength.

Discourse 1: Blog - An Exposed Diary??

As a new member of the blogging world I thought I’d start my first article about blogging itself. If we take a look at the past, there were some hobbies similar to blogging such as writing diaries and autograph books (doesn’t really contain autographs).

Diaries were personal to an individual. He/She write about their daily activities, experiences, and convey their anger, happiness, opinions and ideas. It would be boorish if one peeks into another’s diary. Then I remember during my primary school days there were the autograph books. Although addressed as autograph books, it rather contained short biodata of ones friends. I would say that friendster is like an advancement of the autograph books.

I remember the first blog I encountered. It is owned by this female friend. I was actually in the middle of a chat with her and she messaged me the link to her blog asking me to read it. I thought it would be something interesting and was craving for some good topic. My expectation was fired when her blog was all about her day. Where she went, whom she met, who she screwed, etc.

Another one I recently read was from this girl I dated a week ago. I went out with her on a Saturday. The following day I read her blog. I was taken back! My name was mentioned, “I met up with Yuga...”. I don’t understand these bloggers. Why would someone want to read about your daily affairs?

However I have to say it is sometimes finicky peeking into such a blog especially if, “I got drunk and then I don’t know what happened. But I was glad, thanks to Joe for sending me back home” was in it.

About His Grace

" Aryan by nature, Articulate living style, Aristocratic habits, Aesthetic intelligentsia and an Asshole as a whole."

A rascal with my own set of opinions, views and arguments which might be considered positively distinctive or might just plainly be a total opposition to the common public view.

Maybe its because I am a True Blue Indian. The argumentative tradition which the Indians have been carrying from the Ramayan period to the King Akbar period all the way flowing down the river of evolution has probably been immersed into my nature.

The topics composed in this blog are not meant to impose but for me to share and express for your reading.
It’s about time I bring all that has been conserved in my mind out for the benefit of the blind and the pleasure of the bright.

This blog is a contemporary study of this F***ed up world.
