LENS - Lite, Easy New Sight

Most of the people in the world are focused on good looks and prefer appearing natural without any extra trimmings like spectacles. Some people wear spectacles so as to complement their beauty while few others (who are forced to wear glasses) look out for lens to appear as he-himself.

With the same mind set as the latter audience, I shifted from my spectacles to the modern lens not as a move to enhance my beauty but to have a change in my look(to have some change after wearing those big, twin glassed companion without which half my life would have been blur :-()

I went to the optical shop after protracted discussions with my family mates (yep – it took some time to convince my mom of course!).I went through the eye check up first and the lady ophthalmologist (LO) asked me to try out the lens and hence offered me a free trail of the same. I accepted and started the most – serious but comical sentimental scene. Though my dad accompanied me, he regretted to watch the practice session with the lens. It was my bro who sat along with me for this extravagant trailer.

I started with full enthusiasm at the outset supplemented by slight trepidation (which I always have before starting any work). The LO took a pair of trail lens from the pigeonhole and started explaining me how to use it, when to use it and when no to (most importantly).She started inserting that culprit into my eyes. I was so nervous that I started winking my eyes continuously and did not allow her to accomplish her providence (inserting the lens). After a long struggle, the mission was complete. It was like having a fireball into my eyes and I screamed in front of the august crowd that was present.

There were scenes of sentimental – emotional category as water was flooding out of my eyes like Niagara; comical – I created lots of noise when LO helped me which was a delight for the people watching me (I believe they wouldn’t have seen a grown up to cry in front of huge mob); action scene which I expected but didn’t happen (I thought my dad would shout at me definitely but he was calm and poised as usual).

Finally after two weeks, now I am used to wearing lens though I spend some time in the morning to plummet that perpetrator in my eyes. When I now think of the big scene that I created, I could never stop myself from laughing.It is very true that “Things for which we cried will make us laugh when we think about those later on”.

Memorable days in college..

College days are always memorable for the frequent jaunt, never ending phone conversation, regular bus chases, intermittent group studies with lots of fun and the list goes on. It seems as if everything happened just ten minutes back. Though there are loads and loads of memories, the pick of the lot would be the industrial visit to Sriharikota in our second year. This was like letting out a bird from its cage after all those strict days in college. We had nice time making fun of each other and enjoyed to the core.

Another feather in the crown was the women’s day celebrations that we had in our final year. I was really surprised and excited when my name was let out on stage for having won “the best women student award” for that year. I got very emotional as this award is considered the most esteemed award in our college. The appreciations in front of the august audience, the tears that flooded out from the eyes of the parents is costlier than the costliest thing in this world. The college days would always remain as evergreen as always.

Back to School...

When we do not like to go – we went!

When we want to go there – no chance its too late!

Yes I am talking about “School”. After a protracted time, we (Radha, Mohan Gayathiri (MG), S Karthikeyan (SK) and I –we are all friends from school till Feb has no 30^th...) planned for an outing yesterday(April 10^th 2010). We took en entire week to decide on the place and the time after lots of conversations through of course our official mail and sweet messaging service(a new name for SMS J gud isn’t it ;-)).SK and I started off from our place through the MTC bus and reached city centre sharp @ 10(supposedly the planned time ;-)). We talked about our projects and we were joined by Kuchi (Radha – that’s how we call her.. Kuchi means stick). We again started off about our company as all three of us are working for the same concern but in different branches. After a long time when the clock just crossed 11, MG joined us.

We were waiting for her to give couple of bumps for gracing the occasion in the early hours of this pre planned meeting, that too after sending so many reminders the previous night. We had nice time going around Life Style and of course commenting on the garb out there saying that it’s too cheap “I won’t buy a kurthi which is this low-priced (Rs.12, 000)”. Of course who‘ll buy other than the models or media stars? ;-)

We then set off to Landmark where Kuchi and I posed to photos hugging some soft toys by when MG and SK had left the place calling it a beseech behavior... We then went to the food court and had ice creams to subside our hunger. Actually MG and SK chose ice creams of same flavor for which Kuchi commented saying that we would have different flavors. So SK chose an unusual flavor, which was not up to the mark and finally went to bin uneaten. (This is what we call “summa irunda sanga oodhi kedukardu”...)

We then had our lunch @ Desi. Even there Kuchi made a comedy where in whenever SK, MG and I talk seriously about something she would interfere and say something about food. For instance, we were talking about our school seriously where in Kuchi peeped in the middle and said “There is no garlic in Rasam”. Ha Ha Ha Ha... We then went to beach which was a feather in the cap adding to our joyful memories.

We had nice chat which lasted from 10 am to 6pm... Of course it’s at least one year we had met each other and after school this is the first time we are all meeting together. It was a wonderful day in my book of memories and of course I love cherishing it for ever and ever!
