Of ‘wisdom’ and ‘tooth’
‘I can’t believe it’ – staring at x-ray, I blurted out.
Now I consider myself quite a sane person, as far as I remember I never got F grade in academia life, never worked on any rocket-science thing in professional life but I guess didn’t do bad in whatever programming/managing jobs I was required to do and I do just okay in IQ tests. This much sanity, wisdom and intellect is enough for common person like me, isn’t it! But still…. You need to have wisdom tooth!
It all started when I started feeling bit of ache in right most end of mouth, this was kinda strange as I can’t recall having any problems with tooth all my life. Told mom about it and she instantly gave her verdict it was because of my obsessive love for chocolates and ice creams. I said silently, oh well would this tiny-miny tooth pain going to stop me from having my dear chocolates and darling ice creams. Indeed No! so I carried on for few more days until one night, somewhere around 11 PM, I felt such acute pain that within minutes I could see stars in sky (no, not real stars, we can’t see them in Karachi), and then I quickly had whatever medicines, pain killers, gharelo-tootkey (homemade medicines) I could think of and dashed to nearby dentist next day.
Scene: Dentist Room. Characters: Mr. Dentist, Me, two helper boys of dentists.
Me lying on dentist patient chair, spot light on my face (hence eyes closed), x-ray lying on table and dentist with all his horrendous instruments peeking into my mouth and verdict.. oh my verdict was.. lo and behold… its my wisdom teeth! …he showed me that mischievous teeth on x-ray and you can’t imagine what a scene that was. It was like all my tooth were in line (mashaAllah 
) including the last one and then just near right most wall of mouth, there is tiny teeth with absolute 45 degree facing to other tooth. It was totally out of place and inclined almost in funny manner 
. Well, tale then goes like, as expected, dentist said position of this teeth is such that there is no other option but to extract it out 
How I prepared myself to bear this major surgery (well, to me it WAS!), the happenings on surgery day, whole process of extracting out teeth and what happened after etc. is another story – will post about it later, but what I am just wondering now is what kinda twisted intellect that 45-degrees-inclined-teeth was conspiring to instill in me!
