Eye See......I see......

 Sight is the most beautiful gift of the Creator. 

There have been numerous songs,poems,ghazals.....romantic,fun,sad,angry......on Eyes Only.

Eyes convey so many emotions when words fail. One can read other person's feelings just through eyes.So many messages are communicated by glances and eye gestures. 

Covid Pandemic made us all cover ourselves completely. Only part open but by a transparent shield were our Eyes.World recognized other person only by one's Eyes.

At an age of youth......when the rest were trying to unravel mysteries of some beautiful Eye......getting lost in profound depth of each other's eyes......Yours Truly......during MBBS was unraveling mysterious Sclera and Cornea.I was pouring into some patients eyes finding Pallor for Anaemia....and Jaundice for High Bilirubin......

Later ,instead getting lost into some young handsome boy's beautiful Eyes.......I was flashing torches into an Old Babaji 's eyes trying to learn about Cataracts.

As my medical college was rural based,my knowledge of Ophthalmology ( Study of Eyes) could never go beyond the thick white Corneal Ulcers of my patients. 

My interest and love towards Ophthalmology or Eyes as a subject gor restricted to only 50 Marks( for Final MBBS).....

As a post graduate in Anaesthesia,my tryst with the subject was only to Stand By Anaesthesia. 

"Destiny "........

I got married to an Ophthalmologist.....and that too to one who was in love with his subject......so I became his second love.

It is our custom ....girl's name is changed by Husband after marriage. I dreaded to be called" Netra,Trinetra,Netravati, Sunetra......."after marriage. Thank God.....nothing of that sort happened.

Two people in love.......every one expected us to solve mysteries of each other's eyes.....or fall or delve deep into each other 's eyes.....

No.....in Operation theatre, whole day,we solved mysteries of Cataracts,Foreign body,Trauma,Retina...of patients eyes.

A person who was not inclined to Eyes or Ophthalmology as a subject......in due course became Ophthalmic Anaesthesiologist. 

There goes a Song by Gulzar......

नैना ठग लेंगे

जगते  जादू फूकेंगे 

नैंना बावरा कर  देंगे 

नैंनोका ज़हर नशीले रे

नैंना ठग लेंगे....   ...

Translation 

Don't trust those eyes

They do magic

They will drive you crazy

Their venom is intoxicating 

They will deceive you.

So finally I fell into those Eyes Forever  .......
