The Uncoupling Act

Growing up in the conventional Punjabi household of having 2 full glasses of milk every day, I would have never thought that one fine evening would turn all our lives around...

It was the year 2016, when we first watched the documentary- Earthlings by Joaquin Phoenix that led me to one of the most daunting crossroads of my life. With my mind being in horror and shock, there seemed no way out to ease my broken heart. Though I was appalled and horror struck, I used these exact feelings to fuel my desire to change the world I was growing up in. 

 

What has veganism taught me?

 It has taught me to tap the inherent love in me, to look gently upon other beings sharing our planet. It has taught me to hold the feeling of compassion within me like a beautiful, colored ball of light and share this ball of light with as many individuals as possible. People often applaud me for taking up this courageous act of sacrificing so much and going vegan. But, how do I tell them that this is merely the way of life. This is no sacrifice, but the way to love and live life.
