DID THAT REALLY HAPPEN?
1. A school in Queens, New York, became the
first public school in America to offer an all-vegetarian
menu.

Kali, after the Hindu goddess.
3. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa paid
a visit to a Chennai zoo to give Tamil names to seven
tiger cubs.

has become the first in the world to offer an all-vegetarian
menu.

all the tigers went on strike.
