    Life has given surprising, bewildering gifts sometimes very appropriate to the occasions. It has also made me aware of things i take for granted. This incident is a real eye opener (or the opposite) for the above mentioned declaration.

    Everyone in our family wears glasses except me, the latest entrant being my daughter. I accompanied her during one of the visits and got my eyes checked. Please be aware that i never had any issues with my sight. At this point i also checked the latest frame types that would enhance my features and render an intellectual outlook just incase the report turns out to be wrong.

    Enter the doctors cabin, and the initial statement out of his mouth created visuals of the gigantic tsunami like waves, after which i wasn't able to collect my scattered mind in grasping what the dr reasoned out. My external and internal senses don't go hand in hand resulting in many misunderstandings from time to time. The repercussions might be minimal or humungous based on the relationship with my audience.

    In this case the doctor was strangely surprised with my calm demeanour. He definitely would have listed me as one of the most calm, open minded, satvik patient he would have come across in his career. I would definitely be remembered for a long time as a girl who welcomed her going blind with a smile. I hope he doesnt direct all panic struck patients to me for my counselling. I might be quoted as real living example of the theory ‘Accept all that GOD has to offer either good or bad’. I cannot be blamed for his misreadings. The fact is that i got tranquilized and the end result of the internal shock waves and doldrums leaks out in the form of a smugly smile.

    It nearly took me a day to come out of that shock afterwhich my mind was much composed to accept that some stones are found at the retina of the eye for which nothing can be done but to wait and watch! till the vision is completely lost. Though on a positive note the doctor has prescribed some vitamins which might kick the stones out.

    This all happened a week before shivaratri. I hope you would seen the resemblance to the bedara kannappa story(kannada movie) where the ‘shiva devotee’ hunter kanappa is being tested for his faith in GOD. The lingam to which he loyally parts his hunted offerings starts to bleed in the eye, he doesn't hesitate to use his arrow to scoop out his eyes to one after another to replace the bleeding one and so the story goes…
    I hope the Lord still remembers the climax of that story(the eyes of kanappa are restored). Hey God I have my full faith in you!(in case u forget i did chant rudram during shivaratri).

    Reading the title I was wondering whether you had a new feminine version of the story! Please seek a second and third opinion and take the best treatment possible, at the earliest.

    Thank you so much.... i always turn towards IL for consolation, each time a problem strikes me...

    Had it been some fluid, it could have been drained out...but since these are some (mysteriously formed tiny) stones...nothing can be done at this point..
