Seemingly routine health check ups before our trip to the land of spiritual enlightenment, have taken a shocking turn, with me having to have a very large tooth in the back of my mouth pulled out. Well after the shock that I was going to actually have to have my tooth out I sat unerved and with my heart going at least 143 beats per minute, prepared myself for the worst. Three mantras to Shri Jagadamba in my mind and it was gone. If my lips had not been so numb from the anasthetic I would have planted a big wet kiss on my Dentist face.
