Crabetarian

what u think friends egg is a veg item or non veg item????hmmmmm............... I know u all are muttering as non veg item.........I take egg, but when some1 ask me"Whether i am a vegetarian or non vegetarian" i reply as vegetarian.I eat prawn too.......but i get less chance to take it.I dont find good prawn items in paralakhemundi.....so i never feel as non vegetarian .....

Recently we all ITians of 4th year went on an excursion to Bhairavi temple, Sonapur beach of Barhampur and the lake of chilika.....we enjoyed a lot there. Chilika is the largest brackish water lake in Asia,home to thousands of colorful birds, famous for Kalijai island and fishing....We reached Chilika at 3 pm and after returning from there we had to take our lunch on chilika dhaba(better to say evening snacks, as we took it at 5 pm in the evening)........

All of my friends were excited to take crabs and prawns on chilika dhaba....I was confused ...i have never took crabs in my life and i am fond of prawns.....i have already tasted prawns but not crabs and that too big one.... n main thing was i m not completely non vegetarian,so at last i decided to take crabs.
I had not known how to break a crab and eat ...but my friend Pragyan from puri was expert. I learned from her how to use my strong teeth to get flesh of crab,but with that trial i got a scratch on my gum and that was really painful...i didnt take more after that.i missed one leg of crab..so sad.....Anyways i experienced taking crabs with little pain and its really quite difficult to break a crab and eat its flesh....but its .....yammy......delicious......

From that day my friends are calling me as "crabetarian" .......
so i m now an eggitarian,prawnatarian and crabetarian still vegetarian.........
