Knock Knock Can U hear me??

It was 7 30 am ,when i said to myself i cant procrastinate it any further ;if i want to make it to the morning show of "Quantum of Solace"!!!Finally bidding adieu to all my lethargic instincts i woke up from the bed!!!Well i had woken up to realise that i was half deaf thanks to my left ear.

Well a castle of cerumen got constructed around my left ear drum[To simplify it ,left ear had accrued ear wax over a great deal of time].It was so hard to manage to hear what ppl used to speak,I had to master the technique of interpolating key words[Used to barely hear few words and raked my brains to make some sense of it].This way i used to avoid the embarassment,used to work most of the cases but in case it failed i tried my body language skills.It wasnt that difficult though for i could hear clearly from my right ear but yeah i cant just point my right ear to the speaker all the time[I tried it at times ;)]Anyways that was my state for the past one week[I should celebrate for having managed all my work smoothly for one week without much trouble :D]

I finished all my morning ablutions and dashed for the bus stop.I had to meet 2 of my colleagues on the way and then head for the theater.The first thing that comes to my mind at the thought of fame lido is awe inspiring gals....Heheh well i m not perverted what else can one expect if one is single??Anyways met this insane pals of mine ..Ohh yeah a word or 2 of them
Rwan(Name Changed for good) better known as "The chair destroyer..."Has a compuslive desire to break theater chairs ,and lucky fellow ends up sitting between gals in a packed cinema Hall
Pan (Name again changed for good) best known as PJ master..If there is anything which comes to him naturally are his PJ's and yeah a patient with pseudo memory loss(for he doesnt remember the PJ's he cracked and what day it is)
Pls dont ask me what happened on our way to theater for i hardly heard anything but still left no clue(invincible ,thats me ;))

So we reached this theater,a moment or 2 of depression for we were still single(spar Rwan)!!Well we kept on commenting abt the gals and their so uncool BF's (cant help it) .Its been so much banal for this happens everytime we go for movie!!And yeah guess what i saw Pooja Gandhi at PVR a day before!!!Gosh couldnt believe she is so short,well i couldnt believe it was her till ppl started taking pictures of her!!!Hmm anyways she is still single [;)]Back to the topic,In this modern era ppl still throng the cinema gates early in the morning to get tickets (yet another evidence to say ppl with gals arent smart)...well we go there enough to soothe our eyes(Heheh)After this eye soothing session of ours and hogging on masala dosa's at the Darshini we were all set for the Bond Movie(Bond James Bond,they should shredd of the name too,its cliched)!!!Anyways rwan was the most excited of the lot,could make out ....I dont want to critically review the Movie but all i can say are, 3 things what i look for in the bond movie are
  • Bond Gal
  • Gadgets
  • Shaken Martini (U know what i m hinting at)
Well if u ppl think in similar lines torrents is the best way out!!! Good (Sad for rwan though)for the chair was lucky enough not to get broken(I guess they fortified it with some kind of metal ;)).So we were out of the movie cribbing for not having lived up to the expectation.....Again back to our chaffeur driven mamoth vehicle!!This time a slew of thoughts flooded my mind but none worth mentioning.It was like someone was working on the castle in my ear and the tremors was felt by my ear canal!Out there rwan was pouring out his sentiments and pan as usual was cracking some useless PJ's.Well i must appreciate this thin lean character's guts for mocking the gargantuan person...Anyways jokes apart ,i could feel some work being carried out in the castle (Cerumen castle ppl remember...Ear wax; common ,u need to concentrate)It was some kind of pain , i said guys listen i need to go to ENT specialist!!These ppl were lost in their own world,they didnt have a clue of why was i hell bent upon visiting a doc all of a sudden!!I said rwan ll get to ur house and google for ENT specialist nearby!!Hmm well the first thing we did as we hit his house was Orkut as usual[Well pain can wait for a while]Anyways after the usual chores ,sergey brin and larry page's product came to some use for us(Google search engine).
Rwan:"Arre yaaar koyi lady doctor dhuundna"
Called up a doctor to realise that he isnt available and asked to head for reputed medical institution on air port road!!Well the first thing that i blurted out was dude what if i get ripped of!!Rwan quickly prompted matters of health u should never be bothered abt money!!I said so true but saala Rwan lethargic to the core refused to accompany..!Hmm anyways had to bid bye to rwan and head for this hospital...

I am a little Nosocomephobic for i cant stand hospitals!!I didnt have an option either so had to be brave enough to endear it ...Hardly had any idea of what is in store for me!!As soon i had finished the procedures i headed towards the ENT dept and sat in the inspection/observation room!!Well i avoided the chair meant for patients ,it looked like the one meant for electrocution!!Moments later the nurse comes and says ,that is not meant for u, sit on the electrocution one(she didnt say that...but yeah had to sit)!!All i did was gave a good look at the suction pump and the slew of surgical stuff!Hmm just then this doc gives an entry!!
Dr Tanvi(Name changed for good)...
I was awestruck for a moment or 2...I was still wondering is she the doc or some assistant!!!!
Hmm a smile was a natural instinct!!She fumbled with her papers and asked me to sit..Well i stood up without my knowledge!!!
This lady doc going by my observations was single ,some where in her 30's studied in 2 of the most reputed uni's in London[I checked the transcript]!!!I was actually thanking god,i couldnt have been luckier!!
Well i couldnt take my eyes off her ...I guess she might have been used to it(After all its appreciation what one looks for ..;))
The thought of pain never came to my mind for my mind was busy adoring her!!
I guess she was some 5feet 3inches(some where arnd that) ..dressed in a white top and blue quadra pant!!
The conversation was ....(sometimes everything cant be put in words)
Doc:How can i help u?
Me:[Still lost]Yeah i think the wax has solidified ,the physician had asked me to put some soliwax abt a week back!I have been putting it for the past one week and today the pain has intensified
Doc:Hmm let me see(Takes out the cone shaped torch ,puts it in my Right Ear)
Doc:This looks okay ,let me see the other one Hmm its blocked here
Me : [Good that she noticed it]
Doc:Do u want the wax to be removed
Me:Yes [How considerate of her....i should have thought wat the heck]
Doc:Nurse Nurse
Me:[Why does she need a nurse now,put something in my ear and get the damn thing out]
Doc struggled a little with the chair to put it in proper position ,arranges her magnifying lens and the lamp...
Doc:This is like a vacuum suction pump
Me:Ohh is it [I have been thorugh this once ,but that turned out to be futile]
As soon as she put it ,i felt as if some cyclone had hit the city!!
Grrrrr[well thats hw i felt..i m afraid of dogs btw] well i was hoping to hear some clear sound but still everything was numb!!
This time she poked a little instrument(i couldnt get the glimpse of it ..i was just trying to be a nice patient u know),i moved my head
Doc:Either u keep ur head steady or i will move away
Me:Sorry will keep it steady[Attitude and audacity....This wont be a easy task]
Doc tried some maneuever with the suction pump ,when nothing worked out she took out this 'L' shaped weapon and poked and tried to yank it out!!
It was like some one was putting a stick in vessel full of rocks and stirring it.
It was painful ofcourse,i cant elucidate the pain ,it just can be felt!!!
Hmm all of this stuff and not much progress,i could barely hear!!It was as if the ear is air tight!!I was a little afraid this time for i cant manage with one ear
Me: Is the chunk too solidified ??Will it come out?
Doc:Let me try[Every word was like a pearl..She seldom spoke]
Castle was too strong u know ...Anyways this time she changed her weapon,it was smaller i guess!!Revived her strategy and did something....It was an amazing feeling!!
It was like suddenly an inlet was opened in a vaccuum vessel......
Doc:Relief is because the chunk has been lifted off the eardrum,its still in there.Be steady now ,else it would be more painful
Me:Yeah ll be steady[Smile]
The next few mins i clinched my shirt ,the stupid cerumen didnt come out so easily
Me: Has the chunk come out?
Doc:Not yet
Finally she took it out ,was like a small black pebble!!
Left ear was crystal clear,could hear after a month long endearment!!
Cant thank her enough!!
When i had a look at the cotton swab ,i felt so embarassed...Gosh
so much stuff in this little ear of mine!!!
Anyways when i tried taking a pic of the swab,the doc quips up saying u can keep it!!!I said no thanks ,i have had enough of it!!!

Next time any ENT trouble i know whom to approach[hehehe]

Anyways was out of the hospital and had to treat pan for having accompanied ,well all the time he was bothered abt the match!!
And when i was waiting for the chaffeur driven vehicle
Me:Yaar mere mann mein abhi bhi wahi guunj raha hai
pan:Yahi kei tere mein kitna mail bhara hai!!

Thats the kind of pals i have!!!

Ppl never use buds and do approach the doc u may never know what is in store for u ;)
