How Far You Are Vegetarian?

Many people stop eating non-vegetarian food during Navaratri. If you are one of them, then you need to exercise some caution - there are some common food items which are easily passed with a 'vegetarian' tag but can actually be 'non-vegetarian'. Some of the ingredients used to make these items are actually derived from animal fat or even meat products. So the next time you crave for one of these foods, you need to know which food category they fall in to…

Soups

We Indians love soup. But do you know your favourite Manchow soup is actually non-vegetarian? If you are having this soup in restaurants then beware. Restaurants often add sauces to your soup which are made using fish or are fish sauces. So, if you think you are having something vegetarian, you are not! Next time do ask before ordering.

Naan

Our typical Indian lunch-out is incomplete without naan. But how the hell are naan non-veg? Well, not all naans are non-veg but many recipes for authentic naan call for use of eggs for kneading the dough to keep it soft and give it good elasticity. That's absolutely fine if you're an eggitarian but dear vegetarian, you better find some other option for your paneer tikkas.

Cheese

Indians have taken to cheese like a fish to water and we now add cheese to each and every recipe! So you have cheese pav-bhaji, cheese poha, cheese dosa and even cheese paratha! But did you know that the cheese you love might contain rennet, which is an enzymes derived from animal guts. Unfortunately for you, the cheese packets do not list the actual enzyme used but just a generic term "enzyme"

Oils

Remember that advertisement of 'heart-friendly' oil? That's actually not heart-friendly at all! Oils and juices that contain Omega-3 acids, advertised to be good for your heart are derived from fish oil. Also, some juices claim to have Vitamin D which is derived from Lanolin, obtained from sheep.

Salad Dressings

You ordered lettuce salad thinking you are safe. Think again! You know the vegetables are, well, vegetarian but have you ever wondered about the sauces? What exactly is in those sauces that make your salad so tasty? Most often salad dressings are not completely vegetarian and contain eggs. So the next time you order a salad or are buying your favourite salad dressing, please check the ingredients list thoroughly.

White Sugar

Did you know that while processing white sugar, to make it precisely as you like it, white, manufacturers send it through a cleansing process? And the cleansing process is done using 'natural carbon'. Wondering where that 'natural' in carbon comes from? Bone char. Yes, you thought right. Charred animal bones! The safest way out is to buy unrefined sugar or stick to brown jaggery.

Beer/Wine

Beer or wine makers often use isinglass - or fish bladders to clarify their beer. So the colour you love about, thanks to fish bladder! Well, most of the famous beer and wine brands in the world use isinglass.

Jelly

We all know what the main ingredient of jelly is. That's right! Gelatin. And gelatin is an animal derivative. However, in recent times, gelatin is being replaced by starch or other similar food products and chemicals so you might just be safe.

Potato chips

It's hard to believe but yes, even potato chips are non-vegetarian. Many chips, especially barbecue flavor, contain chicken fat. So next time you buy any chips packet, double check the ingredients

Cake Mix

For people who eat egg, cake mixes doesn't makes any difference but for a hard-core vegetarian, it's difficult to digest. Some cake mixes contain pork fat or lard, especially imported ones.

Sauces

Here are some sauces usually added to dishes for flavouring or added as accompaniments with other foods or drinks.

Worcestershire Sauce – Lea & Perrins – contains anchovies (small, silvery fish).

Apple Sauce – certain brands contains carmine which is a red food colouring made from ground up cochineal beetles.

Cesar Salad Dressing – contains egg and Worcestershire sauce.

Along with the ingredient names, there are many ‘E’ numbers that are not vegetarian. E Numbers are codes for food additives. Therefore, once again labels should be observed in detail to ensure the food does not contain animal content.

E numbers that are definitely based from animal content include: E120 (Cochineal – colouring that makes many foods red), E441/E485 (gelatin), E542 (bone phosphate), E631 (Disodium inosinate – flavor enhancer), E635 (Disodium 5′-ribonucleotides – flavor enhancer), E1105 (Lysozyme – made from eggs), E913 (Lanoline – A wax from sheep), E904 (Shellac-a glazing agent which is derived from the lac insect) and E570 (Stearic acid).

Keeping track of ingredients in food requires vigilance and understanding, therefore, read labels more carefully, if you are a vegetarian, following a strict animal free diet.

FIND SUCCESS IN YOUR FIST

If success is the thrown then determination is the quality of the wood, commitment, concern, dedication and devotion are its four strong legs.decency  and discipline are the hand rests.Satisfaction is the backrest amicability and adjust-mentality are the foot rests. The seat itself is your success. 
Fools never start a work. mediocres  take up the task but will not sustain it up to the end. Only a self commandant person will thrive hard till he attains success. 
Here are a few points for those who are in a hesitation to take up sustain and fulfill the task .
Responsibility
Your life is your statement to the world as it represents the human values, beliefs, and dreams and the  achievements you adopt. It is your world of enjoyment or misery, emotion or tranquility. When you enter into adolescence it is not to run after girls it is to run after your wants and needs. In the end when you could decide that the obstacles or problems that are appearing in your life are your own, the first thing then  you should do is  do not  blame them on your parents, society, or the economy or any other thing whatsoever but own them. You realize that you are the controller executor  and the terminator  of your own destiny.
Control 
Life is a balance between what we can and cannot control. You must learn to live comfortably between effort and surrender. Life does not owe you anything; it has already given you everything you need. Freedom is not overcoming what you think stands in your way; it is understanding that what is in your way is part of the way.

Exchange of work with Time

The true price of a task you take up  is the amount of time you exchange for it. If the thing you’re doing or thinking isn’t fixing or improving the situation, then you are  wasting your time. Then choose between turning the page or closing the book.
Decisions 
Start walking your own walk. This journey is yours. You know you were born, and you also know that death is imminent. Tread your own path and start walking your own walk.The in between is all up to you. Stop wishing, and start doing. Either you run your days, or your days will run you is with in your hands.

Good Company
It’s not always where you are in life, but who you have by your side that matters most. Some people drain you and some others provide soul food. Be sure to get in the company of those who feed your spirit, and give the gift of your absence to those who do not appreciate your presence.Just consider three drops of the same rain. One falls on hot iron and gets evoperated immediately. the other falls on the leaf of a lotus and starts glittering as a pearl but the third one falls into the shell and becomes a real pearl. Hence note that the company is all that matters.

Think constructively
Our thoughts are the makers of our moods, the inventors of our dreams, and the creators of our will. That is why you must sort through them carefully, and choose to respond only to those that will help you build the life you want, and the outlook you want to hold as you’re living it. 

The Foundation
Being yourself is the foundation of happiness. Knowing yourself is the foundation of wisdom. Pushing yourself is the foundation of success. If these are realised the success is deemed to be at your threshold.

self-love
Let it not be mistaken to selfishness. Caring for yourself is not an act of self-indulgence, it’s an act of self-respect. The day will finally come when you have to accept that you need to be your own caretaker. There will be times when you’ll have to work hard to care yourself with compassion and patience that any messed up kid would need. Doing so, will prove to be a great challenge, but a happier life is your reward. We need to fix 
ourselves first before we fix others.

Restrain pain
 The strongest people you know became strong because of the pain they once faced, and conquered. So in spite of all the put-downs and negativity you’ve heard from others in your life, stay focused on your goals, and remember that how you rise up is no one else’s business but your own but ,mind you this is is not any advice to follow unscrupulous ways for your elevation. Be God fearing in any deed you decide to do.  Sometimes it takes the worst pain to bring about the best change. One day this pain will make sense to you.

Don't Quit Make Fit
No matter what you do, no matter how many times you screw up and think to yourself that there’s no point to carry on, and no matter how many people tell you that you can’t do it – keep going. Pick yourself back up. Don’t quit. Don’t quit, because a few months from now you will be so much closer to your goal than you are now. Focus on the road ahead. Do something with all zeal and enthusiasm . Your commitment is the rocket .Once you ignite it with your will then sky is the limit for it.
