THE POEM CALLED LIFE

Went up to the Girl at the front desk and gave my file. She looked at it and smiled. I went all cold at that smile. Was that a smile of consolation I wondered frightfully. I asked her which tooth was to be extracted and I also had to have a RCT. Its the Right molar and Right middle tooth for RCT she said. I knew it. Its the wrong side. All along I had this feeling that my doc was talking all Right and poor me thought she was mentioning about the Left molar extraction and RCT.Why?...Because it was the left side that was painful. My right side didn't hurt at all. She vanished inside rather puzzled. She came back and told me to wait......again?...oh the suspense was torturing me...... My doc came out and called me. I felt numb all over. She asked me what the problem was and on mentioning my plight she told me she would work on my Left molar and do a little filling later on the front left tooth. Done. That solves the problem. Now what? Ps- For the girl at the desk - am just a

The chilly chennai breeze gets into your ear Your M's Sinus worsens and he needs hot water and a hug every time he sees you ;b Your Achu's Nose is blocked and voice has cracked at 4 yrs!!!!!!! Your Amma who does 90% of your job gets a coff ,cold and feels feverish ( Ohhh No) You get a bad cold with occasional coff All of the above witness thick yellow flem first thing in the morning Noticed the new trend this winter in Chennai? The head gear...or rather the Ear gear This headphone kinda thingy that can be placed over the ears. It has become a rage in Chennai I find every Kuppu, Vadivu and Bhai sporting one They come in military colors And in different sizes Wondering how the poor bikers can listen to their FM with this gear on ...They have the will so they sure will find a way Am I getting One? Am getting Three for M, Achu and Me PS. Going by the old saying.... Am just 'Preventing' the chilly breeze from getting a few bucks into my ENT's pocket

I started from office with my Acha at around 2.30pm for the dreaded appointment was at 4.00 pm. M agreed to escort me to my monster but was held up doing the usual boy stuff of testing yet another car. He told me he would reach home just in time for us to leave. Not knowing that any instance of upsetting my set plan would cause my BP to shoot up. Went home ate, brushed my teeth and was waiting for Dear M to arrive. And he did at 2.50pm. He ate and then asked me if I was ready to leave. I nodded. Acha asked me if I needed his presence. So sweet of him :) I wouldn't mind the whole world coming with me but then I said it was ok since My strong M was coming with me. We were in the car. The traffic at this hour was kinda suprising. And M started " I have to pick up my LIC papers. Let's do it on the way". Me: "What???? Noway we will be late for the appointment...grrrrrr" M: "Don't be stupid this will take just a couple of minutes" Me: Sul

Tomorrow I visit the dentist ...my monster....at 4.00pm Can't really frame how frieghtened I am. The feeling of immense helplessness. I have to go and I have to go tomorrow. Have run away from this monster for 4 yrs now and today I confront him with lots of damage done. He took a look at my X ray and frowned...nodded his head in disbelief and told me there was lots to be done....GOD....my heart sank and my head felt dizzy... An extraction and a root canal for tomorrow and lots more to follow.... I am praying for my self today I am scared... PS. Realised that the more you run away from ur personal monsters the more the invincible they grow to be. But given a chance I will still run away yet again..maybe with a bag full of painkillers though.......

When every blogable moment passed I sighed. I couldn't get to the computer to update. And the moment vanished. Nope I really don't have a little note to jot down the event. Maybe I should start doing that. My Acha wasn't feeling very good and had a little surgery and around the same time my Amma had a fall and sprained her leg. Had my dear Anna and Valliachan to help me out though. They came down from Trivandrum at the right time and were of great help all through the dull moments. I was shuttling between hospital and home....My parents had a tough time ...went through a lot of pain...I hate to see them hurt....God got us across the hurdles ....Thank God and for all the Angels who helped us through the ordeal. Acha blames it on 'Sani''s transition and Amma on carelessness....I just think that its bad luck but find it reliveing that I got the oppurtunity to look after both my parents ...though I did have moments of anger and frustation...which I regret now. I

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

I begin the last month of this year today I remember so many things I wanted to do by the end of the year still lieing there intact on my to-do list I am guilty I am sad I am terribly lazy even at being guilty and sad........ Score Sheet Personal Acheivements : NONE Professional Acheivements : NONE Knowingly Done Any Good: NOPE Unknowingly Done Any Good : How would I know...Jus hope I did Rating for the Year : A total failure...and blame it on only the self Any problems that lead to the failure other than self : NOPE Infact I have all the support all around me ...God Bless PS. It's a secret and will let it out when the New year sets in........
