Ooops ! :|
Sometimes some seemingly innocent conversations leave you such sweet memories. Its fun to think back on them.
Yesterday, as I was walking across a Optician shop, I remembered the time when I had first switched over to lens from my spectacles.
I had just completed my engineering. I was all set to start my career - and all of us in our family were anxious and excited.
Those days, I used to be this nice , lively, friendly girl with big round spectacles around my face :) And we decided that I needed a make over - How about switching over to lens ?
And voila ! we all land up in the local opthalmologist office !- The doc was a young, smart, neat, good looking fellow - guess just fresh out of the medical school. You know what happens when a young 22 year old girl goes to a smart looking doc. Well, she gets impressed :) Ok, ok ! jokes apart - the doc tests my eye - and gives me the lenses for my number. And then he shows me how to wear the lens. And then with a nice smile on his face, he waves us goodbye .
Something seemed amiss to me though - Those days , and I am talking of atleast 10 years back - lenses were newly introduced - and whenever the doc prescribed lenses - he would generally ask the patient to come and visit him for some 10-15 days for continued supervision.
Did the doc forget to give us further appointments ? Must ask him ! And I ask the doc -Doc! When do I have to come to see you next ?
Doc looks up from his writing pad.
With a slightly confused expression he says - You dont have to come back. Soft lens are easy to wear and maintain.
And then he pauses for a while and with an amused look, looks at me and says with a very straight face - But if you want to - you can come and meet us anytime .
What !
I can almost hear him laughing in his mind :|
