The Eyes Have It

Now, me and my husband recently thought we should change the way we see life in general. And after much speculation and deliberation that befits this kind of determination and carefully weighing in the pros and cons, we thought we should shed..............................


















yes, obviously our weight but that is redundant, isn't it? Everybody's trying to shed off their weight. Well, almost every-sensible-body. We were actually thinking of shedding our.............





























glasses. And get contact lens. So off we went and got them in our eyes.








The result was that it was literally a pain in the eye the first time--not the lens but ascertaining whether they were straight or reverse based on very minute difference in their curvature.....and then getting them in the right shape, on the tip of the fingertip. That's the painest-in-the-assest part.

E.g. the following pic shows a lens in reverse:Therefore, if you wear them, you will receive no other satisfaction other than wearing a lens just for the sake of it. And you are no Nagina, sorry Sridevi in Nagina, are you? So... hmph!

And then, removing this soft almost intangible thingy-r from our eyes earnestly made us wish for their dissolution in our eyes or our being born with permanent glasses fixed in our faces which would have ensured never to go for lenses in the first place.

Finally, jiska koi nahin hota, uska bhagwan hota hain.

In lieu of God, there is youtube.

Teary-eyed, we directed our gaze to this revered divine artefact and yes, there were N number of well-made videos on how to remove lenses without hurting your eye, and without feeling paranoid about hurting your eye. After mastering it, I got curious.

I gave a search and yes, I found something. It left me mesmerizingly thankful that even such things had a step-by-step instruction video-s in youtube.

Face value

A close friend recently wrote me something like "I didn't contest your assertion because I take every word of yours in their face value". With the obvious realization of absolute glee and spilling pride in receiving this, there was also a tad bit of mellowness in facing the fact that with the above happening, there is no more offering of other possibilities. I would translate value as the manifest being, as well as a possibility. And then, if values could be interchangeable as well as be variable, computing confusion is nothing less than a matter choice.

And why would I like to create confusion irrespective of countrymen, Romans and friends?

To build walls, precisely. With changeable and customized boundaries, risk management is handy. Doesn't matter whether you've read Foucault or not, protective instinct and self-preservation is only human (or animal...whatever), and illusory images are used only towards that end.

After all, value is what is deemed to be by consumers. It doesn't exist; it's simply constructed.

As long as I've my share of control, I'll be a happy bee.
