I am not a born vegetarian, but I approached towards vegetarian life since age 5, against the wishes of my family. And till now I am a vegetarian. I prefer to visit the restaurants that are strictly vegetarian/vegan, Jain options most preferred. I am lucky that my husband and my son, both are vegetarian as well. I am lacto-vegetarian, and I go on and off between veganism and lacto-vegetarianism.
