Tuesday ko chicken kyun nahi khaate? Matlab, Tuesday ko chicken khaane se aisa kya ho jaayega? Socho, tum kisi se ye sawaal poochho, toh most probably jawaab milega — “Bhai, Tuesday ko nahi khaate. Ghar mein mana hai.” Par agar tum agla sawaal poochh do — “Lekin kyun mana hai?” Toh? Maine bhi ek din apne dost se yahi poochha tha. Aur jab usse koi clear answer nahi mila, toh mere dimaag mein ek aur sawaal aaya. Hum mein se kitne log aisi cheezein follow kar rahe hain, jinki wajah humein khud nahi pata? Koi kehta hai Tuesday ko non-veg mat khao. Koi kehta hai is din baal mat katwao. Aur chappal ulti ho jaaye, toh use seedha kar do! Ab sawaal ye hai — in baaton ke peeche aakhir hai kya? Koi historical reason? Koi religious belief? Koi scientific explanation? Ya phir ek aisi purani parampara, jo bas ek generation se doosri generation tak chalti aa rahi hai? Aur ek baat samajhna zaroori hai — har tradition ke peeche ek hi tarah ki kahaani ho, ye zaroori nahi. Kuch baaton ko samajhne ke liye humein mythology ko dekhna padega, kuch ke liye history ko, aur kuch ko science ki nazar se samajhna hoga. Toh hum inhi sawaalon ke jawaab dhoondhenge. Mythology bhi, history bhi, science bhi. Aur jahaan koi clear answer nahi hoga, wahaan hum ye bhi maanenge ki humein jawaab nahi pata. Kyunki kisi tradition ko samajhne ke liye sawaal karna zaroori hai. Aur sawaal karna, kisi cheez ki beizzati karna nahi hota.

Why don't we eat chicken on Tuesdays? You may have heard it at home: "We don't eat non-veg on Tuesday." Ask why, and the answer may be, "That's how we've always done it." You can follow a rule without knowing where it began. That doesn't make it foolish; it means the reason hasn't travelled with it. No single explanation fits every tradition. One may be understood through religious belief; another through history or custom. Science can answer some questions, but it isn't the right lens for every belief. Sometimes the trail leads to an answer. Sometimes it doesn't. Not every old rule has a clear, traceable origin. We should be honest about what we don't know, instead of inventing a reason. So why no chicken on Tuesday? There's no one confirmed reason for everyone. Asking isn't disrespect; it's a way to understand.
