LIFE BEHIND GLASSES

Why is it that the thing one dreads the most is bound to happen??? Well… It kind of happens with me all da time. (With no offence meant to all my bespectacled readers) ,wearing glasses is something I have dreaded all my life.
I remember when I was in 9th, I use to complaint of frequent headaches and was therefore taken to da eye-doc for a test. ( Gawd!!! I Can never forget that experience). He turned out to be quite a character. I was quite scared that I might have to put specs (luk… I know it kinda sounds silly but I really didn’t want to wear one. Seriously…). Er… so…. I kinda got all scared and stuff and well…yes… I hate to admit but i… kinda started sobbing …( gosh!!! Cant believe that um actually writing all this..) anyways. So da doc who was quite a maniac (not to mention “mmh”) and considered himself to be a psychiatrist or a counselor or something gave me and my mom a gud one hour lecture on parental pressure, peer pressure, and its ill effects and how we poor children cant cope up with it and the growing competition that we have to face and how we cant talk to our parents about it and blah…blah…blah…. Infact the first thing I checked after coming outta that maniacs room was whether we had entered the right room or not ,or whether by mistake, got an appointment with the wrong doc or something. I mean, he had all those eye-testing thingies in place all right, but somehow didn’t appear to be an eye-doc. Lol!!! He was an item piece and I prayed I would never have to face him or someone like him ever again in my life. ( u cant blame me for dat!!!)
But… as it always happens , the irony of life, I had to face him ( p.s. he’s suppose to be da best eye- specialist in town) again some months back. This time I was sure I was not gonna be as lucky as last time to come home just with a headache. I was sure that a pair of specs wud be definitely be accompanying me home. And voila!!! I was correct. I had kinda mentally braced myself for my “encounter with da demon”. Infact this time I was in for a surprise. He was kinda happy with me or rather pleased with himself that whatever “gyan” he had given me da last time had been nicely eaten and digested by me. I was not sobbing this time *rolling eyes*. As if I wud ever again do that!!! Huh!!! He was quite surprised to see my new, full of confidence and “um not scared of any damn thing” avtar. So anyways. He quite happily told me that I would need to wear glasses and wrote the prescription and stuff.
U know, when u know that u have no other option but to do something, u kinda get prepared for it and infact start enjoying it. Well… dats exactly wat happened. ( I think I owe a big thanks to some other factors as well ,which made me get outta my mind blockage on wearing specs and stuff). Rather,its gud to see what life, behind the glasses luks like. Hey!! Come on guys… atleast I have experienced something more in life than all those people who have never worn glasses!!!!! He!!he!!! I think everyone, at some point of time, should definitely experience it.. Seriously…. Lol!!!!

Abhu said...

sun4none: hey!!!! there is absolutely no need to feel bad when pple call u a geek or smthn coz the ones who call u that, must themselves be BIGGER geeks. i bet they must'nt be half as gud as u ,with their blogs(i.e assuming that they blog). each one has their own areas of excellence. they have absolutely no right to call u any such thing. so next tym, give them one big kick on their ass and move on. ;)
