To Be or Not To Be

A little kingdom I possess,
Where thoughts and feelings dwell;
And very hard the task I find
Of governing it well.
~ Louisa May Alcott

...that more or less describes my situation!

~A Wise Man Said~

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

I get Indian veg samosas or biryani on Saturdays sometimes at the marketplace. For a change from my own cooking. I prefer vegetarian because even though I do eat chicken, they tend to use breast pieces over here unlike in India, and I am not a fan of it. I prefer thigh/leg pieces. I like vegetarian so it's not a compromise at all. This time the chick peas and potato was gone so the chap asked if I would like chicken on my biryani instead. I was about to say "no". He remarked, "You're not a vegetarian, are you?" I guessed I was not the only Indian who didn't care for the chicken... hehe... I said no, I am not, but I don't like breast pieces. To which he said, with a straight face, "breast is the best". I didn't know how to react to this because he seemed quite in earnest. I just said I'll have the veg samosa. I found this entire exchange a bit... funny!
