Top Secret..

I have been a vegetarian for the past 30 years. Never ate egg or meat. But, due to certain deficiencies, I had to start eating eggs. When I lived away from home in a separate city then it was fine.

My mother is a stauch vegetarian, she would never allow egg/meat in her house. When I came back to my home, I had to hide eggs in an underwear drawer, books cabinet, sometimes, I would not take them out of my bag.

One day, I boiled eggs, and kept them in lower shelf in kitchen. My dog snitched me out. Her nosy nose brought attention of mother to eggs. That day, I heard loud ranting.

Eggs were thrown in dustbin, along with the boiling pan.

But, I did not give up. I had to play hide and seek with mother and eggs. It has become totally comical.

Initally, I was agitated, now I take it sportingly. Just I need to keep my dog's nose in check.
