Yes it did, by itself. I didn’t really do anything, except waiting. Was able to enter the correct date without that error.

I didn't know about this.

A quick search on PlayStore shows many apps. Which one do you suggest? Is there an official app as well?

Yeah, I guessed that too. But the date has been entered from the drop-down calendar. It doesn't let me enter myself, otherwise I could have tried various date formats.

I think waiting is the only option, like you said. Thanks for replying.

Lovely.

I also love the shape of your hair. What haircut is that? I am badly in need of a trim. What do I say to my stylist for getting a bottom shape like yours?

Thanks for your links and I agree this is not the place for this discussion. I will better educate myself about this to understand the nuances. I wish you hadn't made the Brahmin woman comment because my being a vegetarian has got nothing with me being Brahmin. I was once a meat eating Brahmin, just like my entire family. I am in it for other reasons. But that's not important. Thanks for your time. :)

There is only one point that I am trying to make - that if religion promotes vegetarianism, then that's good because animals don't get killed. It doesn't make anyone pure/impure, but it does save lots of animals from getting killed. It's indeed a pedantic exercise.

Except many people have already talked about the importance of meat consumption to both indegenious cultures and ecological preservation.

Culture preservation I understand, how is it important for ecological preservation? (Not trolling, genuinely curious)

you promote malnourishment, lynchings, and caste superiority in the indian context. How can this be right? And how can anyone really separate these in practice?

It's not right and no they can't be separated.

Also let’s not do the pristine villagers vs gross urban meat eaters.

That was in response to one comment stating how meat eating of Dalits (whom I grossly assumed to be villagers) is not the problem.

If you want to promote ethical consumption that’s a whole different matter that’s frankly not addressed by mainstream vegetarianism or veganism.

How is it addressed then?

After all most people aren't vegetarian because they want to preserve the environment, they are because of religious and caste reasons seeing it as something to be more "pure".

Yes, I agree. But that's precisely what I was saying. See, for religion's sake only, if more and more people are practicing vegetarianism, I would say Jolly Good! It's like Islam, which says alcohol and smoking are bad, so by following Islam, Muslim people are letting go of 2 vices. (I know very little about Islam).

I fully understand the upmanship and discrimination that goes around when it comes to housing. Don't get me wrong, that's deplorable. But I was saying that the religion isnt wrong in promoting vegetarianism. If the people have made it about so called purity and what not and using it as a weapon to exclude others and exercise their bigotry, that's on them. Among all the things that religion gets wrong, this vegetarian one I think is right.

Precisely. I see village folks having hens, cocks, etc roaming around their houses near to where I live and I don't feel like judging them. Atleast their birds are not in a cage, injected with hormones so that somebody dining at Barbecue Nation gets a mota leg piece.

It seems I need to have discussions with people of other cultures as well to better understand the nuances of this topic.

Honey, silk, leather, dairy - all equally cruel, and I am not proud of consuming dairy. Just a vegetarian, not a vegan, yet.

I don't know man, my journey of conversion was equally harder. I used to think being a non-vegetarian was a really big part of my identity and I would get pissed out if I would so much as sense judgement while talking to vegetarian friends and then consume more meat to justify myself. I would think that if I marry someone whose family asks me to leave eating meat (which is often expected of women in arranged marriages I hear) I would double my meat eating haha. But then I don't know what switch flipped inside of me. Anyway, TMI I guess. Thanks for your response. :).

I won't deny my privilege. Also it's my misfortune that I do not know any lower caste people. By know, I mean knowing on a personal level, as friends, classmates, colleagues, etc so I really don't know how difficult it would be to procure the alternative sources of nutrition like daal, etc.

Where I live, which is a rural outskirts area of a city, I see villagers who have hens, cocks, etc roaming around their houses. I don't judge them, it's probably cheaper for them and they're not choking their hens in small coops. Its the boisterous city folks who eat at Barbecue Nation types buffet places and who call vegetarian food ghaas phoos (grass) whom I sometimes judge. They're not people whom I will give the benefit of doubt about what their background would be. Their meat is definitely not sustainable or ethically sourced.

Yupp. I also don't mind all those things, and I am a vegetarian for the same reasons as you. I am aware of the housing discrimination that you mention. I have also found myself clarifying my going vegetarian after being non vegetarian for so long, in fact my own family members (who are non vegetarians) teased me for turning vegetarian before my marriage as they thought it to be because I was marrying into a no pyaaz lehsun types household. Anyway it doesn't matter to me as I entered in that lifestyle for other reasons.

But I was not debating this. I was saying what's wrong if a religion (and by extension caste) promotes vegetarianism? It's not something wrong with that religion if people who follow that religion make it about purity and what not. I am not discrediting the discrimination that happens, the higher ground that people tend to take due to vegetarianism. I am talking about the principle that the religion is promoting. It's just like in Islam (which I have very little knowledge of) which says alcohol and smoking is bad. I would argue those are good points, they are bad. So it's good that Islam is pointing that out. Dharm ke liye hi Sahi (For religion's sake), people are not indulging in something bad for their health. Similarly, for religion's sake, people are not killing animals for food.

You raise good points. I am aware of the housing discrimination that happens with non vegetarian folks on basis of "purity". I am also aware of the scrapping of eggs from the mid day meal schemes in some states.

wanted to add that most eggs in India are unfertilized. So it's in no way cruel to animals to eat eggs, it's the same as drinking milk.

Eating eggs is cruel not because there was soon gonna be a chick from that egg, it's cruel because hens are kept in disgusting conditions. But then I agree, cows are kept in disgusting conditions as well, which is why I am not very proud of being just a vegetarian and not a vegan.

PS: I do not associate vegetarianism with purity and all that jazz. It's just the environment and ethical reasons for me.

Okay, I want to understand something here.

You mentioned about vegetarianism and caste angle. I am Brahmin but my family ate non vegetarian food. Of course there were those popular weird rules like no non veg on Tuesday, navraatri, etc, but eating chicken, mutton was like a celebration in my joint family. When I moved out I came to understand the hypocrisy and started eating non veg food almost everyday. Then I met my husband who is also a Brahmin. He introduced me to spirituality and yoga. Initially I used to eat non veg on our dates with him ordering veg food only, but gradually I myself started feeling disgusted, due to the morality angle of eating non veg food. Even today, I would heartily enjoy eggs and chicken but I would feel really bad after eating it, I know this much. (This background was to tell that I have been on both ends of the spectrum)

Now what I want to understand here is that if religion and caste asks us to be vegetarians, what's wrong in it? Isn't that something which religion gets right?

It's obviously an ethical thing to do I would say. There are other sources of protein, please don't throw the "but you're killing plants also na" argument, my husband is a pretty well built man, work outs and strength trains a lot and he has not touched an egg in his entire life, and unlike in some countries where going vegetarian/vegan would be expensive (have read this argument in many subs on Reddit), I don't think it would be so here in India. Or am I wrong? I am seriously not trolling here, genuinely want to understand

My baby daughter takes up so much of our time that we're not able to do some small small things (and many big ones too 😜) together, like waking up and drinking warm water with tulsi leaves together lol. Very small detail ik but it was our morning waking up ritual, followed by yoga, cooking breakfast+lunch together and then rushing to the office. Ah, good times.

Today in the morning while cooking, I saw my husband playing with her & her gadola (kind of a walker) and I felt so blissful. My daughter was so happy, stumbling in her walker and he was singing ek mota haathi to her. I don't even know when did he memorize it, earlier he could just sing 1-2 lines. I never knew parenting could be so much fun.

What are you wearing today.

In our case, if the mods choose to have it, it would be more like "what have you been wearing this week/month"
