Mynt Fresh Freedom!!

It’s all over, finally!! I had been going through one of the toughest ordeals in my life since the past week. The dentist had announced that she would be removing the sutures in my mouth exactly a week after the surgery. I was waiting for this holy day to arrive like anything. Each minute to this Holy Friday was like an age passing by. This seemed to be the only thought in my mind.

The day finally arrived and I was on the dentist’s chair, not with a scare but with a smile on my face this time. “I can see the smile on your face” she said as she approached my mouth with a huge scissor, “It will pain a bit”. I was hardly bothered. I didn’t think of the pain. I was thinking of all the food I would once again be eating.

She cut, she drilled, she forced open, and she pulled the sutures out. It was pretty much a complicated affair to say. But I hardly experienced pain. I had a sense of freedom in my mind. In the anticipation of what was to come, I felt like a freed pigeon, I felt like a child running to the beach after school, I felt like a warrior returning back home after war and like a bonded labourer freed after years of labour.. I felt exactly like how a Mahatma Gandhi or a Nelson Mandela would have felt when their countries were liberated. A sense of a free being, a feeling of living in an obstacle less world…
