Fish(ing)
At Vengurla Bunder, there were a few people line fishing. I was curious and went closer to find this pretty fish which was about to die and maybe become someone's lunch. I have ambivalent thoughts about eating fish- I love seafood and find it hard to give up. Over the years, I have read much about the terrible impact of overfishing and the fish species which are now under threat- not to mention the birds and other creatures that are affected by large scale fishing. It makes me feel uncomfortable when I eat fish, thinking about whether it would've been caught ethically or not- (please, no vegetarian vs non-vegetarian rants on this post).



These kind of choices are also important when you visit a place as a tourist. How many resources are you going to use up? How much respect do you have for the environment there & how much pressure are you putting on it? At a practical level, one person's choices may become irrelevant, but at an ethical level it does matter to me.
