Root Canal

Got the root canal procedure done yesterday. Overall, it was not bad. I was thinking that the pain would be worse than an extraction, but it was not. I am a chicken when it comes to needles or any medical procedure, and I was so nervous before the procedure, that the dentist asked me to relax and I think he gave an extra strength Novocaine!!!

During the procedure, the dental assitant kept closing her eyes and turning her head, that made me wonder what exactly is the dentist doing that is so gory? That pumped up my blood pressure for a moment.

Overall, I would recommend root canal treatment. Go to wikipedia and read about root canal, and knowing about the procedure kind of helped me relax a little....

Glad to see you came out intact after the procedure.

My experience was so painful, I would have preferred going toothless.

I strongly believe it is a form of Chinese torture. :)

You are right; I heard so many horror stories about root canal, that’s one of the reasons why I was scared. But finally the pain became so bad; I have to go for the procedure. I guess I escaped Chinese torture ;)

Time to let it go -

After 12 long years, decided to let go my habit of fasting every Tuesday. Right underneath your thoughts and negative emotions exists an ocean of love. You have but to quiet the mind to experience it. - A Buddhist Saying I know for someone outside, there is no link between my habit and the Buddhist proverb, to my mind there is...

Dravidians –

The so called Dravidian states have been the saviors of Hinduism for hundreds of years and that’s the truth. If not for South India, Muslim rulers would have converted majority of India under Islamic fascism. For the past 40 years the leaders of Dravidian parties and Islamist have somehow managed to hide this idea and are proposing a deep rooted division between the sons and daughters of our country. Caste based suppression – Right now in Tamilnadu who instigates caste based suppression? Is it Brahmins? Is it the so called North Indians? No it is mainly done by a caste which is dominant in any given state. If you go to Madurai it is Devar, if you go to northern states its vanniyars, if you go to central states it will be nadars and so on. Brahmins are absolute minority in Tamilnadu, and I do agree that just like Jews they tend to help within their community but even if they do in our current state there is nothing they could achieve. So where is this fear of Brahmins some how trying t...
