Agony, through and through…

The pretty nurse says, “It’s a girl!”,

Mum s elated, “My doll s here!!”

But somewhere near or far,

An artifice is contrived…

His evil eyes has the glint,

For he has just glanced his share-

His share of something they call pesos!

A man sells the doll, another buys her…

She has crossed those International borders,

With the very blamelessness in her eyes…

She s appalled at why did he do it?!?

She s trained and tried, over and over again,

Sold and sold, by every other man…

She shuffles between her destinations,

She looks into his eyes with aversion,

A plastic beam on her mask,

Utterly abhorrent at heart…

The fire inside her is multiplying,

But she continues looking affable…

She knows her possible prophecy-

She’ll be destroyed or drugged,

She’ll be beaten or suffer from an incurable disease.

But she s already at dis-ease,

The doll inside her is aching…

She does her jail visits honestly-

She s inert if they call a criminal on being caught!

She’s doing it not for anything but survival…

Mama’s doll is no more with a heart!

The fire inside her has remodeled to ice,

Shards of ice ask her to just survive…

The man shows no signs of remorse,

He’s complacent and ‘rewards’ her…

She keeps running the race…

With a strong hope to meet a Marvel at the finish end!

Wake up, we’re her hopes…

We can paint her Marvel…

Traffic on city roads might test our patience,

Human Trafficking is testing our hearts…

Let us make her realize the finish end right now,

Elseways, every doll will loathe being a lass!!

Double Trouble!

One fine morning, amidst our mundane lectures,
A bizarre thought upon my unemployed mind lay…
What would happen if one sudden day everyone gets duplicated???
The word ‘everyone’ would become ‘everytwo’…

May be an allegory of the good and the evil, the Moral and the Satan,
The magic wand and the black horns!

A utopian life it would be -
Learning from one’s mistakes,
Actualizing on the other with faultlessness!

Experience would just get bigger,
Venturing every incident 2^n times…

With networking sites becoming more mosaic,
Full of names, ending in underscores one and two!

Double the celebrities and double the Deities…
A pair of parents and twofold the bunch of friends,
Assignments, projects and exams in teams of two!

How can I overlook the twosome Mumbai local train crowd?
Or not fear the tug-of-war in every other competitive exam??
How can one not take notice of India’s population gearing towards 2295991808???

Ding! What if both the roles have a sinful semblance?

The thought of twice the terrorists,
Just gifted me a few more pins and needles!

Will just deem that material things don’t become two in number,
The graph of fight for property would just grow exponential among families;
The rivalry among nations would paint a catastrophic facade.

Thank the Lord, the bell rang,
A speed-breaker to my incessant thoughts!
Just can’t visualize two lecturers at a time.
What about the timing of death?
What about birth and the biology behind?
How I wish the bell rang a lil’ late!!!

P.S. : I love this concept, I realise it too often in my dreams now!!

A new Captcha technique…

Facebook and its Relationship Definitions!!!

Foresight helps improve Far-sight!!!

What if I tell you that a giant Space Agency does something gigantic, which is nowhere on the road of Space Exploration??? I bet you won’t buy it.

The chances of credence reduce even further when the name is NASA and the discovery is vision-related!

NASA’s stargazing techniques have helped protect VISION in thousands of children [literally!]

The technique has its roots in the year 1980. Scientists at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight worked with research eye specialists and industry partners. Result – they adapted space optics technology into a new eye screening test, called ‘PhotoRefraction’! [The split words seemed very repetitive to me at the first glance.]

During this process, a beam of light shines into a patient’s eyes, bends inside, then reflects an image back to a camera. The result is something like the ‘red eye’ you might see in your vacation pictures – but this holds critical vision clues.

The image clues give a fair idea about one’s sight. For instance, if the eyes are focusing light for normal vision, the image shows a smooth ‘full moon’ of red over the retina. If the eyes have abnormalities, the image changes. Farsightedness reflects a bright half moon over the top of the pupil. In nearsightedness, the light reflects as a brighter crescent moon in the bottom half of the eye. Other potential problems also show distinct patterns of reflection.
However, it does not replace the Professional Eye Testing Procedure; instead, it gives subtle hints of early vision.

This concept is as simple as clicking a pic. Apart from this, it can be tested on any age group, not worrying if the person knows how to read, as in the traditional technique. It is painless and makes mass screening possible.

The best till date example follows…
In a single school year, more than 150,000 Alabama elementary school students were screened. Over 3,000 had early indications of Amblyopia [Lazy Eye] – the leading cause of preventable blindness in children. Left untreated after age seven, it can cause permanent vision loss. It is estimated that 1 in 40 children have precursors of this condition, which leads to 17 percent of all adult blindness.

Since the inception of PhotoRefraction, hundreds of thousands of children have been treated for eye problems that might have gone unnoticed, leading to blindness and decreased quality of life.

After all, early detection leads to early correction.Let us try finding which moon dwells in our eyes (must have heard of having only stars in our eyes!!) so that our vision is saved to see those stars high up in the sky!!!
