Vasuku, Paavani and guruprasad: Thanks. :)

vulturehaven: Eat! Now!

anon: Absolutely love the comment!

bhumika: Even the non-vegetarians have their bad days?!? What a relief! :) But seriously, what stops you from trying the firang fare – please do tell me and I’ll feel a lot better about my plight.

Congenitally Disturbed: I have a feeling I won’t survive in Shanghai. :(

Bhel Puri: LOL! All TV evangelists? I find them incredibly entertaining.

She watches the guy on TV spouting
“Touriste Vadhikaraste
Ma Phaleshu Kadachana”
Damn these TV evangelists.

I know exactly how you feel! I’ve been in Shanghai for the past 7 months and though I’ve adapted to include chicken and pork in my diet, I still don’t feel full unless I’ve had a good old vegetarian meal inside me…preferably Indian.

if a non-vegetarian like me can also be left hungry owing to the weird meats and tastes that firang countries offer, i can understand the plight of pure vegetarians…

brilliant!

and i know exactly what you mean about the world not being ready for the indian veggie tourist!

for most people outside india a vegetarian dish is when they add some vegetables to the meat/fish dish. and even if you carefully explain how you would like your side-dish made without anything remotely non-vegetarian, you realise they have sauteed the dish with pork shreds or dried prawns! :-)

here’s a post i had written about being a vegetarian in india –

fish and seaweed on your mind
like diamonds and rust in the bullring.
came home, slept, awoke and found
someone killed, followed news, followed links
and found your moon tonite.
