This is going to hurt a lot!

I'm scared!I'm going to the dentist to have a tooth extracted and I know it's not going to hurt just a little bit.. jus like the ogden nash poem which we all studied ( in 10th remember?) !

Just the other day, i was talking to someone and I was like, oh what's the big deal in going to a dentist or getting atooth pulled out.. u get to have icecreams, milkshakes after tht..it's cool!! bah!it's not, i didn't realize i'd get the opportunity to experiance it so soon.. me and my big mouth !! And on top of that people are hell bent on scaring me ( except for a few sweet ones :) )!! Telling me that I'm going to be all 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA' with pain..Lol..

I saw a big of Fear factor India yesterday, the one they've just started.I couldn't understand what is the point? I just don't get it! Why would someone have snakes wriggling all over themselves. To win a competition? To prove a point? To get rid of your own fears? Thankyou very much, I'd rather stay afraid of snakes and lizards than have such a close shave with them!

I had my first ever tennis lesson on Saturday. And even though my legs are still aching (we jogged around for almost an hour and then had tennis for an hour, thats quite a lot for a lazy person like me ;) ) I enjoyed it thoroughly! Looking forward to the next lesson.. if and whenever it comes :)

I saw crash yesterday. Very heavy movie, but worth watching I'd say.
Anyways I better get going now, will be back to share my pain..lol.. will spare you the gory details though ;)

Rahul Tamaskar said...

Hehe ..Dentist is always an unpleasant experience. But you know sometimes i think that people blame the poor guy too much . Imagine his plight having to deal with all sorts of dental problems :) .

Sudeep said...

Yasser Rahman said...

Known Stranger said...

if i were to punish some one cruely i will make them have their one tooth uprooted. haah aha ah ah a a ah i am a devils mind. haaahaa h ah

hey.. its is one of the most paining stuff though it might seem nothing.. and is complicated.

Known Stranger said...

hi neha.. hmm every one dreams. hmm true. and the grown up one dream a very different dream. I always enjoy listening to the dreams of kids. they have so much innocence and what an imagination they have. we loose it once we grow up.

the picture was taken at padmanabha palace of trivancore. Kerala.

dazedandconfused said...

"...jogged for an hour...", not bad at all. I jog for 10 mins a week and am pooped after that. Shit, am getting old!

Anonymous said...

wowowo.... i remember that poem, was a good poem and the teacher used to threaten us by saying this poem is gonna come in the boards read read read, but not a single question came form it (if im right!!)
err... the dentists they aint that bad, heh!!
And fear factor, i prefer international version over indian one :) for obvious reasons!!
:o)
REY!

Bhaskar

Φ said...

Pray to the tooth fairy.. she eases the pain majorly..no kidding.. :)

Also if you had buried all those tooth fallen off during yester years..then they wudve grown to a gulmohar tree and on that tree resides this fairy.. (do i hear u say..yea right!!!).. comon believe in something will ya :)

Rita said...

Don't talk to me about dentists! I've been avoiding a tooth extraction for quite sometime now, just because I am scared of it. Ouch...they tell me it hurts! :(

jugni said...

yup i remember ogden nash ki poem in 10th. ok now on tooth extraction. im pretty experienced with it. got 2 removed. well they thokofi injection in gums so its just a little si pain not really that painful u wont even knw when u tooth comes out. and then ya icecreams lots of thandi things and ya after 3 hrs little pain but take painkiller sab theek ho jayega. dont take tension. ok.

well same her i plan to learn tennis too. just searching for some gud place to learn.
take care of ur tooth.

jugni said...

hey if u frm mumbai plz let me knw frm where ur learning tennis.

The Individualist said...

Tooth extraction. Phew. Am relieved that I haven't ever had to go through it. It's the most painful thing in the universe. I say that you can bear a broken leg but not a broken tooth. It's hell. And you know what? Am crapping. :p I really don't know about it and tell you what?! Trust people to blow things up. :p
Haven't watched that movie. Yet. Should.

Sudarshan said...

Even I get a bit scared when I go to the dentist..they put nasty things in your mouth and drill and stuff like that..but I prefer it to injections..You won't believe it, I still cry when i take injections!!!But yeah, getting operated upon by a dentish surely won't pain much, so chill:-) Like you, I feel most of the reality shows suck..they are absolutely purpose-less. So you're playing tennis? cool.I love that game, but hardly get time to play it. I jog daily lol followed by a brisk walk..so my legs hurt too:-( But its extremely beneficial!! You feel so refreshed!! I heard Crash is a great movie too..can't wait to watch it!! Have a great week, neha:-)

teacup said...

awwwww....now that reminds me I have to go to my dentist for tooth extraction too!!I have to get root canal done..and I have successfully managed to postpone doin tht for past 2 months!!yipee!!ohhhh..wait...I shouldn't be saying anything!!!like u maybe even I'll have to go soon:( forget I ever said anything!!:)

BOL, I knw u will need it:) and hope it's not too painful!!
and hey happy holi!!(check my blog)

Well then, be really thankful that you didn't have to wear braces... Having metal in your mouth all the time is NOT a very pleasant sensation.

Abt fear factor, I'd say it;s not to prove a point, show you are the best or whatever, but to win 50000 dollars. That's a LOT of money.

Want to see 'crash', but hasn't worked out yet. (A lot of planning goes into watching a movie, atleast in Mumbai, don't know about Delhi, but there's locations, convenience, parking, and a lot of other things to consider, for all people involved.)

Neha said...

@anirudh, oooooooooooh don't remind me! I shud've taken it from the dentist n kept it..

@Mani, my health was pretty good even before this :P i'm sure ul think up of more names soon ;)

@Phooka, honestly!!it's one of the toughest.. infact i think it's the same for all doctors.. a doctor's job is so tough.. thank god i didnt bcom one!

@Sudeep, u want ur wisdom tooth extracted? arre kyun.. jo thoda bahut wisdom hai woh bhi chala jayega :P

@Yasser, it did hurt :P but not tht much.. cause i was ready with painkillers :)
well lawyers earn if they do well.. n tth too aft sooooo many years of hard work.. of course if u do well.. there's no limit ;)

@Rathna, hehe.. Go girl!! I wanna see everyone suffer.. y only me..lol..

@Keshi, hey i'v been to a dentist since I was 9 or 10 years old.. and i've always had very nice dentists.. so iv never been afraid.. but this time it was almost as if i knew it wasnt gonna b easy..

@Known stranger, lol.. please don't ever think of punishing me.. i hope i never antagonise u :P
ur right.. well we don't really lose the imagination.. we just buys it deep inside.. it's still there, we can find it if we look for it :)

@dazed, well mayb it wasnt like jogging continuously.. more like walking very fast most of the time..hehe

@REY, yeah it was a funny one.. i enjoyed studying it.. one of the few tht i remember.don't remember if it came in the exams though.. tht seems like a looooong time back..lol..
i hvnt ever seen the int'l one .. dont even want to! can't imagine.. it's def. gonna b worse..

@Bhaskar, yeah.. i had my eyes closed most of the times.. cause i cudnt make myself see all those instruments..the scratching.. eeeee
me next sania? hehe.. go on..;)lol.. not anywhere even close to her..

@Phi, did u ever try keeping your tooth under th epillow for the tooth fairy.. i did it i remember :)
oh.. how i wish i'd buried those teeth!i don't hv a gulmohar tree :(

@Rita, thank god.. i'm not th eonly one..lol.. i'd been told to get this one removed a long time back.. but i'd been avoiding it.. u noe u shudnt too.. or it'll get worse.. get it done quick!

50000 dollars!! woah.. well i still wudnt do it.. snakes r toooooooo creepy!

well movies.. here it depends on the kind of ppl.. with someppl i really need to plan . cause they won't watch a movie beyond a certain territory, after a certain time.. n blah blah.. with others it's like ok lets ctach a movie, which one? xyz.. where? anywhere.. wat time? anytime!! so its cool :)

Last time I went to the dentist he hurt me so much I never went again. That was 4 years ago!

Yasser Rahman said...

hmmm, thanks for that eye opener Neha...you know the only thing i worry about is that I maynot have a friend if I do ask her out and she decilines...

The Individualist said...

I won't say that I've never gone to a dentist because everytime I say something like this, it happens immediately. For example, I could say, damn I've never been on top of a sixty floored building, and knowing my life, I'd find myself in one in not more than a year's time. :| Weird.

Sudeep said...

he he he.. was expecting tht :)

used to play daily a few years back... but now only on Sundays

Princess said...

your display picture tempts me to know how the face of the person would be. Nice selection.

Anonymous said...

Nessa said...

Ar Ar Ar Arrrrr said...

I saw crash yesterday. Very heavy movie, but worth watching I'd say
Last time I visited dentist was when I was in 11th std....now its like more than 10 yrs...I still have cavities in ma teeths...but dont feel like visiting those scary people...it hurts :(

I saw crash yesterday. Very heavy movie, but worth watching I'd say
Last saturday I saw this movie and believe me it was not worth spending even a penny on this one. I was waiting for action to take place..some explosion or something..lekin kuch bhi nahi huan...man it was so f*king bore movie ...

Ekta said...

Hey neha!,
I have cavities and fillings in practically all my teeth!...and so i know ur anxiety pretty well...I have made enugh rounds to the dentists by now!
And I soo agree with u on the fear factor thing!
It is crazy and gross how people can do almost ANYTHING to win money!..

coolvir said...

Ek aur Dentistiophobic :)
Fortunately i never had a close encounter of third kind with a dentist so far....

The Individualist said...

Oh belated happy birthday? Hmm. You are definitely pulling me down with all that sweetness. :D Thanks a ton.
Alright, here goes.
Sudhir says in a deep voice that reverberates in the surrounding 10 kms and echoes till people sleep of boredom,
" Neha hasn't visited too many countries. Sigh. " :D

cherubic_chipmunk said...

Swetha said...

Keshi said...

I have to go to a dentist every year...it's a must to keep the teeth clean and on check..but I hate even that visit...besically dentists make me faint!

Keshi.

Anand said...

Hey neha,
I had to get a root canal and some cavities filled up before moving to HK and I can completely relate to your situation!
It wasnt painful per se but just the process of going to doc do many times is irritating!

Sudarshan said...

Time for a new post neha:-)I'm waiting to comment!!
