How do I give up Chicken?

With the bird flu taking a grip over the world..I had resolved a few weeks ago not to lay hands on my primary means of sustainance in sgpore..my feathery friend..the chicken.
But in this country..where veg food = some leaves boiled in water..it has been really hard to get good veg food around (unless i go down to some indian rest.)

So was thinking today of what to do..to solve my predicament..
1. return to my so-called diet..which will just solve all problems
2. carry a thermometer to all places and check if the chicken is cooked above 70degC
3. substitute daily meal with mock chicken
4. and finally relish my favorite seafood...

I think #4 seems to be the most convineant thing to do...so ppl..remember if u r calling me for lunch/dinner..i wud love some prawn curry with some tandoori pomfret..and maybe chilly crabs...
thank thy lord for giving me this opportunity to express my love for seafood!!

My Disbelief

Wow!! I am really amazed by the amount of damage caused by a handful of Danish cartoons..I just cannot fathom the fact that these cartoons have now led to massive violence and tremendous economic damage!!

I have no problem in people believing in something or being a staunch follower of some faith...but what seems to have happened over the years..is that..this faith has got disillusioned...it has now become a weapon for violence!!

I agree that freedom of expression and free speech comes with a responsibility and I also agree that in this case the boundary for this has been overlooked....but even then...there is simply No excuse for what is happening all around us today...everyone has the right to protest and uphold their values but that doesnot mean that one turns to violence to do that..

I think it is high time people realise that it is because of such ridiculous behaviour and ignorant fatwas...that led the caricaturists to draw the cartoons in the first place!!
By protesting violently all they are doing is simply adding fuel to the fire...

So do protest and be commited to your faith but do it Peacefully...after all we have to share the same world for eternity...
