I Hate the dentist today like yesterday and tomorrow

Wanted August to end the way I wanted to – Me receiving the ‘Achiever of the Month Award’ for ticking most …all of the to-do items but God thought otherwise…

August ended with this.....  but hey I managed to VISIT THE DENTIST ….yes I did…
  • On the eventful Thursday I fixed an appointment and prayed  they cancelled it or I cancelled it due to the reason of unforeseen fear gripping every single nerve in my system…but both didn’t happen
  • I got into the car instructed my driver ..{ my husband was on my phone (actually my dad’s cell I borrowed since mine had a 0.24ps balance – it still has jus that) giving instruction since I know Chennai roads jus like I knew them when I first came here at 2 ;) }
  • Ok we took the wrong turn….which is the right turn…let’s go back home …my mind shouted in glee…redirected we were at the dentist’s …
  • We reached …God we reached … MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --> Had to be there by 5.30pm ….hmmm am there at 5.32pm…impressed?...I am of course cause only I know the fear this heart holds and how late I could have been…(honestly am 4 yrs late though)
  • The receptionist a cute girl gave me a form to fill up…my hands were a bit shaky so I took a few minutes to relax before jotting down my details....she scanned through the form and
She asked: “Madam age correct-a?”
Me: “Ehhh! Yes Correct-dhan”
She: “It seems 10 years older”
Me: “ HeHeHe…No no I am actually that old”
  •  Makes me wonder if this is a gimmick they play with all the tensed to-be patients….infact the whole conversation did cool my head and heart a bit. This one never fails does it.
  • Ok, so they called out my name …yes they did and I saw gals with the best teeth ever all over the place …the docs, the attendants, the pics on the wall….everybody had good teeth …then why was I in bad luck?
  • Eeks the chair I hate …My doc looked into my mouth and almost fainted....It seems I needed THE works ( Btw my  senior dentist told me I don't look as old as my numeric age...ta-da so its the take off line  of the season I guess...baah so much for momentary bliss...infact was wondering why he didn't mention  my teeth  looked 3 times my age)….If I was to explain all what my dentist told me I would need to write a book…..... but for the crux of it take a peek…
    On 27.08.2009 I bravely went to the place I didn’t want to go….though there are more painful meetings with the dentist in the near future I am truly proud I took the first step towards self –improvement :D ( grinning  with advanced therapy clean teeth et al )

    A Cuppa Tea

    Can a woman...yes I said A woman get up from her office seat, walk down the stairs, cross the road, to the bunk kadai (the small tea stall) and drink a cuppa tea with a biscuit without being stared at?????????? No. I didn't try....and I don't have the guts to...but love to do that. Maybe at a restaurant or a cafe it would be fine ...now that's a slight relief ...since 10 years ago even that wouldn't  go unnoticed..... PS. The pains of being a South Indian Woman?

    Learning to Love

    Not many people in the world love you unconditionally...Atleast for me ..not many...I have realised that only my Amma and Acha have the unselfish love that even I cannot show as a parent to my child. I am blessed to have them as my parents and there isn't a minute in my life that I fail to understand that and be thankful for that. Unselfish Love is so so scarce and I have it in 2 ppl....I am guilty of being selfish even to those 2... out of sheer laziness that is... I find that they are very good human beings. They love without expecting to be loved...which is very very difficult in my case. I can't bear it when love isn't reciprocated. I can love an enemy or a stranger because I seek and find some good in every soul ...BUT I can't love somebody who knows me well if that person hasn't shown me instances of love or has shown me instances of hate.....I have the patience ....but for how long....there is a point when i tend to never forget the misdoing or undoings
