Tuesday is the day when the ladies group meets up for Sri Lalitha sahasranamam ,Vishnu sahasranamam&Hanuman Chalisa.The venue is different every week.This Tuesday after the session four of us were invited to another friends house.
We really had an interesting conversation going, covering a wide range of topics.It is not difficult to imagine what it can be when a few enthusiastic ladies get together. I have to mention here that I am fairly new to the group, so most times the silent spectator.
The reason for this blog is one of the topics discussed that day.There are so many occasions when we are truly and absolutely helpless,though we might want to scream our heads out,we just have to shut up.
Visits to the dentist top my list of helpless situations.The moment you take to the chair,you are at the mercy of the dentist.Left with the mouth gaping wide and the dentist peeking ,drilling,and on many occasions even pulling your lip this way and that way.Here,my one very specific experience at the dentists comes to my mind.I had to have my wisdom tooth extracted because it was obstructing and involved a surgery.After the surgery the effect of anaesthesia is always there for a couple of hours and then slowly you get back the normal sensation.This particular time my lips were numb for almost two days and to top that they remained crooked,which left me wondering whether they would remain that way forever.I must mention here that more than my discomfort, my DH reaction was hilarious.He was saying, "I will file a case against the dentist for this type of work"!!!!
Visits to the gynaecologist are not to be left out here.One of the ladies was narrating her first experience at the labour room.She was 16 years then and she was in the labour room and hearing ladies and nurses (which you commonly hear in govt hospitals)abusing the husbands.She wanted to know she says if that was a procedure in the labour room and she asked her mother who was beside her if she supposed to abuse her husband too.That was indeed hilarious I thought.This reminded me of my maiden and actually unforgettable experience ever in my life at the hospital.I had never been admitted in a hospital ever before,so everything was like strange and totally emarassing.One of Pune's very renowned and senior doctors was attending my case,and in the OT I still cannot forget there were about half a dozen guys surrounding my table and I was some kind of an exhibition piece to them, and the situation is so helpless that though in your heart of hearts you want to bash them all up you cannot do a thing,you are totally at their mercy(For sure you want to get rid of your suffering and pain!).So the best thing that I could think of at that moment is to close my eyes and imagine there is darkness all around............
Now to more lighter situations in life when kids put you in odd situations. Children can sometimes embarrass us (of course they are unaware).I remember once when my DS was around 3 years of age may be,he was a little unwell and was at home that day.My neighbour had come and was chatting.She asked my son,'your head is paining here no, and pointed to the tummy',he very patiently tried to correct her,but when she went on for a couple of more times pointing to the tummy for headache, he just could not take it any more so just blasted at her saying, 'you and your f.....jokes' and coolly walked off.....(wonder where he picked that word from).I mean, I was like aghast at that and both of us were left speech less and dumb,just looking in his direction.That was unbelievably embarrassing for me I must say.Today thinking back I can laugh at that but certainly on that particular day I was helpless I think.
On more recent infact very recent happenings, just the other day I was so preoccupied with my self and was walking in to my room to get a book when my slipper gave way and the next moment i was on the floor with a thud.That took me back to my college days when it was indeed amusing when we saw anyone fall.The first reaction was to laugh.Thank god that is not so now.
Rubbing salt on wounds, we have all heard of this term, but just the other day I was told rubbing salt mixed with olive oil actually helps relieve pain and it worked for me I must say.
Yesterday I was listening to a discourse on Srimad Baghavatham, and the chapter was Krishna Leela.There was one story there which comes to my mind at this moment.Yashoda is trying to catch Krishna and tie him with a rope,because he is getting very naughty.Krishna escapes and runs and hides in a friends place.After a while when he feels the situation will be better he comes out of his hiding and is about to run when he realises his langoti has fallen off and he is without clothes,he feels extremely shy and so closes his eyes and runs away.
Enjoy!!!!
