The taste of physical pain can be really dreadful. I experienced it on November 24, Monday, a day to be remembered as I had one of a lifetime experience. Well, thankfully its not an injury or a delivery. I got my third molars on my left jaw removed. Well, in simple lay man term, I got my wisdom teeth removed.
The bugger on my lower jaw (read as lower third molar) was bugging me from last week. It was showing on my left jaw the size of a dot, never thought what am in for a few days down the line. I resisted, persisted , had painkillers but this bugger got its way.
Last Friday, I went to see a dentist. The lady doc told me to get my OPG done which is kinda an X-Ray, that shows the teeth portion of your skull. I never saw such a distorted portion of my skull! It was just like a grinning skull. FYI, you gotta remove your ear-rings if you are going for an OPG. Since, I got sensitive ear lobes, I could not open my ear-rings. But the OPG was barely passable. The dentist verdict was, sweetie you got four wisdom teeth, you gotta remove all four of them. I tried telling her that since one is only paining, why she can't do away with it and I can be back if the other three pains. (So much for my wisdom that I have gathered all these years, am still stuck at the age of four)) . The doc swayed her head in a negative motion and told me to remove all of them. I bargained and settled it for two on coming Monday and two laters. She agreed too, thankfully and put me in a dose of painkillers which hardly worked.
Well, after that I started reading on the Net about wisdom tooth and managed to see a vid on Youtube. After that I couldn't even breathe. I was so filled with awe, but I had to as the dot inside my mouth was testing my all limits of patience. Finally I confirmed my appointment for Monday afternoon at 2 pm. She told me to have a heavy lunch.
The surgeon was Dr. Ramdas, thankfully it wasn't a lady, as my friends has already told me about the myth that lady dentists don't have sturdy hands and strenghth to pull out your teeth. They might injure a nerve and all that idiotic blah! But somehow I felt relieved to see Dr. Ramdas. Gosh his phone was constantly ringing.
Finally, he called me in and explained me the initial procedure. He numbed my left portion of the mouth including the tongue with a local anaesthesia. After a minute, I couldn't feel anything, only a tingling feeling. I closed my eyes as I was scared of the surgical tools that were put inside
my mouth. The only diversion was when I heard 'Holy God', only to see my teeth gave way and Dr. Ramdas shirt and forehead was soaked with my blood. It was such a funny sight,eventhough I felt like puking seeing my own blood. The doctor calmed me and started cleaning his shirt. I was like 'hello, what if my anaesthesia effect goes off, I will be darned, like I saw in an old movie where surgeries were done on patients without anaesthesia and how they were screaming. Thankfully he was back. He extracted the whole tooth and that dot was actully half the size of my little finger and I saw the bugger came with a small portion of a tissue in the shape of a mouse heart. That heart was paining all the time.
Finally, it was time to extract the second tooth, he injected me again, Gosh it was so painful. Injecting part is only painful but the rest of it went well and then he put the stitches.
After I came back, I couldn't sleep because the anesthesia effect was wearing off. I cried with the pain. I just popped the painkillers and antibiotics. I could feel the blood in my mouth. I can't even spit it out. I drank my blood and the gauze was filled with it.
It was only after I had a large family sized chocolate sundae , I felt less pain and finally, the painkillers were working too. Ibuprofen and paracetamol together. I didn't eat anything that day. After 24 hours, I just had a mixture of rice and lentils. That has been my diet for the last two days and I have to be on it till two weeks till my stitches are cut.
I can't brush properly, neither can I use left portion of my mouth. But atleast I am blessed that its out and I hope that my healing process will be quicker. I am dying to eat solids again!!

"Chicks on Flicks"!!!
I was watching this new programme called, "Chicks on flicks", in Sony Pix on Friday night. The main crux of the show is that Neha Sarin and Ira Dubey, reviews movies and tells the audience whether to 'thrash' or watch movies that have released. My take on the programme is what follows:
Well, I loved the programme, am not being biased or feministic in this issue. I say that because I usually follow Nikhat Kazmi's TOI reviews on Saturday. I liked the programme because of its sheer choice of words, reviews and movies comprising of two new releases and two DVD releases is quite appealing. Also, there is no rating system, which has been very misleading off-late.
The presention of the hostessess looks very chic too. Dressed in formals with subtle make-up sitting on big-sized sofas, the kind you get in PVR Gold Class with a flat-screen television at the background is simple but contemporary. Anyways, you just can't keep off your eyes from the girls. Though, both are equally good, Neha seems to be protective of Ira who seems to be a novice in playing a host in the show. Ira stammers at times but what seems amusing is the time while taking a commercial break. Though both are spontaneous and manages it quite well, it seems the commercial break part is out of the script. :)
They give you a lasting impression on the review though. The perspective of watching a movie through a girl's eye really hooks you. The observation, knack of detail, intelligence shines in their reviews. Simple things, for example: while reviewing 'Body of Lies' they observe that the title of the movie is not going with the movie script. I was wondering, the guys who would be watching this programme would really nod their head in affirmation or not. Also, both of them don't sing in each other tunes, they have a difference of opinion too. In those few seconds, you are bound to think which side to take. The conversational format of girl talk is very catchy definitely.
I am definitely catching another episode next week. Gosh!! I would give my right arm to do a job like this!!! :)!!!

Your Love is a Stranger Now!
The pangs of the heart know no bounds!
You left me without a word!
A heart that loved me with all its might is stranger now!!
That warm hug, entwined fingers, listening to each others heartbeats!
Those sweet nothings whispers comes back to haunt me!!
I realise I have been a fool again!!
You said a lot and I listened!
My eyes had all the pain that you were aloof of!!
The heart has got deep wounds!!
But you don't care!!
I still hold on!
Am not afraid to fall in love again!!
This time with a head!
My destiny awaits me!!
You left me without a word!

Peace for India is actually Utopian
My motherland, my state Assam, bleeds!! Born and brought up in Guwahati, but actually sitting here in Bangalore writing this post for my blog!! But I am also devasted like all the people in my state and the nation as a whole. The blast in Ganeshguri is just 10 mins from the place where I stay. My kith and kin pass that place everyday. I had been there just two weeks before! This place has been targeted many times though. Once I remember, the blast was so furious that a big deep crater was formed. But yesterday's blast triggered off another act of terrorism, an act of cruelty that cannot be compensated.
It was a regular working day for me yesterday(October 30, Thursday), when my phone started vibrating. My friend Sachin calls up from Kishanganj as he's there on leave. I started having the regular friendly chatter. Suddenly, he told me that 3 blasts has occured in Guwahati. I wasn't astonished as I have grew up in that violent environment. Having a bomb blast is a regular occurence. I candidly said "What's new in there?" He said its really gory this time, news channels are flashing with reports. Smoke is billowing from the buildings and everything is in flames. Still the gravity of the situation didn't sink in.
After hanging up on Sachin, I called up my dad, and he was in tears, my 'mama' (mom's brother) was not reachable. Actually, he works in the DC Court where a blast took place. But,he was safe. I count myself lucky as none of my family members or relatives were hurt. Maybe my 'mama' cheated death yesterday but what about the 61 killed, 350 wounded? The death toll rising with every passing second. Most of them must be vegetable vendors and small time business people, trying to make a living in the streets or a mum or a dad or a college goer going to office and college. What about their families? State Government is giving them 3 lakhs as ex gratia and 50 thousand to the wounded! So a life is priced as 3 lakhs and the price of a limb, a lost jaw, a skull is priced at 50k! Even though the State government is acting generous but this blasts could have been averted.
The CM blatantly admits that we had information about the blasts but didn't think will be carried out at such a large scale. The Ministers and everyone in the higher level were clueless! This is the Government we voted for to save us! What about the Centre does it have any answers? 64 blasts in 6 months. Every month there is a blast in a state killing scores of people and wounding and maiming them for life!! To add to the chaos, terrorist groups are united to carry on this anti-India acts. As in the case of yesterday's blast, the needle of suspicion is pointing at ULFA and HuJI militants of Bangladesh and other jihadi groups eventhough ULFA is denying a hand in it. But whoever is to be blamed, they don't have a heart. There are making the common people scapegoats so that they can spread fear and put pressure in the Governments. We are helpless, but we have to live with it since reality is not a movie.
As I watched online in awe, saw people screaming and the streets turning crimson, I sat helpless here, seeing my hometown burned down. I called up my friend who had reached home safely some four hours after the curfew was imposed. She was caught in the shootout in Ganeshguri. People started burning and pelting stones as no adequate disaster management were in place. The fire brigades arrived a full hour late to add to the people's misery. Everything from people to cars were mangled and charred beyond recognition. Many people lives would have been saved if a proper disater management would have been in place.
The news flashes raised the blasts from 3 to 18 and the deaths and injured were in tandem. I couldn't take any more of it. I hated every moment of my existence, thinking I might be one of them and God forbid someone whom I know. A thought passed by that maybe next time I will be in Ganeshguri, I wouldn't be seeing some faces whom I used to pass by. But life goes on for common people like me and the others!!!

Rock On ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My fascination for cinema transcends all boundaries. As a little girl, when my parents and siblings used to enjoy an afternoon siesta on Sundays, I was the only one awake with a mute TV watching DD regional movies ranging from Oriya, Tamil and the diverse Indian languages with subtitles of course. A few years before that used to watch Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy, which my uncle gifted me on his numerous trips to Calcutta. The old creaky VCR used to play this B&W movies and I used to squeal with laughter. My only indignation was why wasn't it coloured even though am watching it in our coloured ONIDA TV, our prized possession then. I remember people thronging our house when there was a India-Pakistan match or a football match. I remember my uncle recording them too in our VCR. Somehow, I wasn't fascinated by serials as I was with movies, I don't remember watching them except cartoons like HE-MAN, The Jungle Book and the RAMAYAN.
Things have changed so much now. I download all the latest movies and watch it in the computer. I feel more comfy watching it with my headphones on. Theathres also, fascinates me but mostly, I like to watch special effects movies ,in there as the Dolby digital sound adds to the thrill.
The latest movie that I saw is ROCK-ON, the first rock music Hindi movie. It started on a very bad note, the electricity went off, when the film just started rolling. Of course, there were also a bevy of hooters sitting bang at the back of us!! I liked the movie but I think Farhan Akhtar is oki-doki, I really don't like that weepy-weepy characters. I just loved the other three and did I say Arjun Ramphal in the last scene when he takes the stage, set my pulse racing and my heart was beating so fast if not for the music the people sitting beside me would have heard it. The music is awesssooommmme!!! I loved it!!! It's so fresh and all the singers has done a supppa-duppa job with of course the music-director trio!!
Well, apologies, I think lately, I have been posting a lot of movies in my blog!! I will do so, until and unless I find another topic!! Watch it out!!!

Buzzing around!!!
Last week my friend was asking me, if I have stopped blogging. But my answer was not in the affirmative. There has been a lot happening in my life. Indirect things that are impacting me directly. Just take the case of rising fuel prices. Next month, am going to my hometown which I have made a yearly ritual. Basically to be with my family for Eid celebrations. But the rise in fuel prices have taken flights prices soaring northwards. So, this time I have to use the salamander vehicale the train. Its a tiresome, the most dreaded journey from South India to the North East spanning 54 hours. Thanks to the Indian railways, it just might be a few extra hours late. Just preparing myself for the inevitable.
Also, a series of bombs went off in Bangalore. Out of them three, was placed nearby my residence. People were totally gripped in fear and with network connectivity dipping down at zero level, patience went for a toss. I was in office at that time. The rusted loudspeakers in our floor sprang to life' Please do not get panic'. Is panic an epidemic, that we can get it? Since it was a Friday, many took opportunities and left for an early weekend. I left at 6.30 p.m in the office cab, braving an hour of traffic snarls. Thankfully, it was only an hour.
Bangalore traffic can be maddening, especially , I face a lot every morning commuting to office. The Silk Board junction towards HSR layout is the most dreaded. Twice, I was caught in the traffic for two and a half hours. Just to do away with the traffic blues, in the morning while boarding my office cab, I carry a book, music and few eatables to sustain myself against the boredom helpless situation. My heart goes out to the driver. If I have to drive in his place in Bangalore roads, I think I will have to become a pilgrim and retreat to the Himalayas. Road rage is at its best here. Honking, swearing (in Kannada of course) sometimes a few fists will come out of the window cursing the drivers. To kill time people sleep. Abnormal as I am,I don't like to sleep in a moving vehicale, so, observing has become a good timepass for me. While inside the cab , the few heads that I see while ducking my head upwards are all tilted to the right and are in blissful slumber, making up for the extra hour of sleep everyday, sometimes getting up with a jerk and than again lounging back to the semi -state of napping. Though its heavy traffic jams are very tedious, time-consuming thankfully, I finished some five books since last June, after joining this office.
Another thing that comes to my mind that I did in the last few weeks is to watch a late-night flick, last show of the first day. Saw that mindless crap, "Kismat Konnection". Just got in time, to exchange tickets for 9'o clock show instead of the 10'o clock one. Had dinner of some all dough semi-cooked noodles and rushed in to see the movie. DUH! it was such a damp squib. Made me feel like slapping myself for wasting a peaceful sleep. At least I could have watched 'Babel' that was coming in one of the movie channels.Finally, the traumatized experience ended, got into an autorickshaw, of course which came out with an exhorbitant fare. After paying saw that the gate was locked. SO, had to do the stunts, that you normally see in television with the tag "Not to be done at home". Finally went to bed to have a long siesta, till Saturday afternoon.

FLASHBACK : 9.14 am- Geeti, my roomie calls, unquote "Mofi , toi WOODSTOCK VILLA sabi neki?" (Assamese translation to English"Mofi would you watch Woodstock Villa?")
Mofi: When?
Geeti: today at 10.30 am !
Mofi: okay!
Geeti: see you than at 10.30am!
Mofi: sure!

Destination Garuda Mall , INOX 10.30 am.
Movie: WOODSTOCK VILLA starring newcomer Sikander Kher, Arbaaz Khan
Synopsis: A rich business, bratty wife suspects hubby having affair. Takes the help of a womaniser romeo, to plot her own kidnapping to know the truth behind her hubby's darling love! Gets killed in the process! lotsa twists and turns. Somebody gets the moolah at the end!
My Autopsy: Woodstock Villa as the movie is named is a web of deceit and changing moralities in today's fast moving world. Except for the movie name , the villa is shown only two times in the movie. When the Indian thriller is concerned, this one is exception fare by Hansal Mehta. Though I don't vouch for its Screenplay, as insequential(sic) songs come out from nowhere. Sikandar Kher, son of the famous actor Anupam Kher is hideous and makes a perfect combination of villain and Mr-goody-good-pants! The actress is quite a waste with bad teeth! Music is not that great too. Thrill kills! Plus points are the movie is short, the sheer plot will keep you going till the end.
Destination Garuda Mall, INOX 3.50 pm
Movie: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull starring Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett, Karen Allen
Synopsis: Year is 1957, peak of Cold war! A Crystal Skull, the chief interest of the Soviets to rule the world, voicing Joseph's Stalin's psychic warfare. This intention makes them seek help from Henry Indiana Jones, a Professor of Archaelogy part time and a full-time adventurer. The quest leads them to the temple of Akator, where the skull rightfully belongs.
My Autopsy: To be honest, this was my first Indiana Jones movie. I did not regret the movie experience and had the best 'Indiana Jones' feeling. Steven Speilberg has done a great job again. But the touches of ET and Encounters of the Third kind reflects heavily in the movie. Harrison Ford though he is 65 now, does not let us down. He gets a son in this movie Mutt Williams played by Shia LaBeouf sets fire on the screen. The humor was not rib-tickling but it definitely fell into places. Cate Blanchett playing Colonel-doctor Irina Spalko is a delight to watch on -screen. Her vamp villanious instincts come out in her stark blue eyes. The Russian accent catches us by surprise. All-in-all a great movie experience.
