Yours virtually...

The last week saw all 4 of my wisdom teeth being plucked mercilessly. I had no choice but to sit back and watch it without pain. I was given around 10 anesthetic pricks in my mouth to numb my sensation and to reduce me to “I don’t have a mouth” condition. After the operation, I literally had to stand in front of a mirror to figure out where my mouth was to feed myself with some ice-cream.

The operation has left me dumb from the past few days. I hardly can open my mouth to say something. While this in a way has been a boon to my parents who are lucky enough to escape my wordy torture, it seems funny and funnier to many people around me.

I have been rejecting all calls sending back a “Thank you for your call. I have had a dental surgery due to which I cannot open my mouth. I will call you back once I am fine” message to everyone. Don’t know how those credit card callers would have felt. I pity them…

I have a friend who cracks the most funniest of the jokes you will get to hear on mother earth. Believe me, her jokes are the best. As usual, she cracked a PJ and I was about to say LOL. But what the heck, I can’t even open my mouth to laugh out loud. So she asked me to laugh virtually. I mean write LOL but don’t laugh literally. She’s like, you don’t have a voice, but you do have a voice. Blog it!!

I am left pondering into deep fresh mynt thoughts about how we are doing things virtually more and more. This is the age where we laugh, play, talk, cry and sympathize online. Though this way of laughing is comfortable for me as of now, when I come to think of it, it makes me laugh louder. Heck, I can’t even laugh. Poor me.
