How are you beta*? Sub kuch theek hai, America mein?**
Your mother asks if you are still eating non-veg dishes everyday. We understand it is difficult to follow vegetarian diet in America, but remember that for generations your ancestors have cleansed their systems and rid themselves of the “pitta” effect that meat brings to the human body, making you physically and mentally lethargic. At least stay away from red meat Rajesh. Even non-Brahmins do not eat cows, and who knows what chemicals they feed cows which will also effect you?

Hi Papa, I'm fine. Everything in America is fine except the economy which is in such a terrible state that I’m scared my research funding this year may be cut.
Regarding my diet, please tell Mummy not to worry since I have been catering Indian vegetarian food from a Gujarati lady who lives in my building, and I only eat non-veg when I go out with my friends. I try not to eat beef, but pork I cannot give up since a dumpling cannot be cut into thirds.
