While travelling to work today, I saw the most heartless thing that was done to a calf. The milkman was crossing the road with his herd of cows and a few calves. The sight should have been perfectly normal and not have evoked any anger or shock in me. Except that the milkman had tied the calves' mouths with a rope so that they will not drink the milk!

Can you believe? Depriving the calf of the right to it's mother's milk when we are enjoying rasamalai and rasagulla here? Imagine being starved of food for days, when it is literally a stone's throw away. Would you do that to your child? How would you feel when someone made you suffer and also deprive your child of sustenance? Would you tolerate? Then can we tolerate this?

When you go get a glass of milk to day for your child, I want you to think about this. when you make yourself a warm cup of cappuccino, look back at what you just read. There are alternatives to milk that supply ample source of calcium. Soya milk is absolutelyt healthy and tastes delicious. You even get them in flavours like chocolate, strawberry, kesar-pista and so on. So, you don't even have to spend money on buying Bournevita or Milo for your kid that will not drink plain milk. Use rice milk, it is healthy and completely vegan!
