The Fenced Hell.

Discretionary Disclaimer:

All the persons, characters, places, events, facts & figures depicted & compiled in this article are purely based on real life incidences. Any resemblance to any of such persons, characters, places, events, facts & figures whether living or fictional has to be purely coincidental!..

Going by the disclaimer, to begin directly with the preface of this yet another articulate creation; some time back, had read somewhere in management that ‘there is a place for everything & likewise everything has to have a place’; to add to it, there’s also a name for each such place; be it by characteristic appearance, rituals & traditions followed, direction & time wise, geographical density, climatic conditions, pre conceived notions etc.

At this very ‘place’, again taking an exuberant chance to explore & describe about one such ‘place’; for most of the others, it could undoubtedly be ‘a place far away from home’; a ‘Second Home’ for a few; while for some others it could be just a ‘place’ in a 3 storeyed building. The official name of this building (where the story takes ‘place’, or more precisely ‘repeats’) is ‘Rajgadh’ (राजगढ); & it also has couple of cousins christened as ‘Krishna’ (कृष्णा) & ‘Savitri’ (सावित्री). To complete the family structure; they too have more than a couple of educational buildings  in the nearby vicinity & also couple of distant niece buildings wherein the whole of the food stuffs preparation & serving takes ‘place’; again officially named as Bakers Pride, Coffee juice center, chotaa canteen, cafeteria; ‘Amrapali’ (आम्रपाली) & ‘Annapurna’ (अन्नपूर्णा).

So getting back to ‘Rajgadh’; a ‘place’ equipped with more than couple of dozen rooms, water coolers, guest rooms etc. The impact of death of a device was such that the so called ‘source of entertainment & leisure time’ through TV rooms was literally swiped away without leaving any traces of evidence of existence.
By far now, more than dozen full of months had passed by; having cherished for less than a year or so; most of the rooms had turned into flats, private hostel accommodations & luxurious furnished rooms. Just like an amateur bird is kicked off from the nest (intentionally or otherwise); so as to faceoff & struggle & also survive against the odds in best possible manner.

Well, less than a year or so, had been to one such place tagged as ‘fenced freedom’. With the season of sequel of sequels flooding in & out; probably attempting some kindda ‘sequel’ of that place….a ‘place’ where there was a ‘fence’ & ‘freedom’ too; or rather a ‘place’ with a ‘fenced freedom’!!...& yet tagging the same ‘place’ as ‘fenced hell’.
It was merely just like sailing by the waves in the broken dwindling cruise ship (here sailing by a boat would have been smaller in size, appearance, budget etc; so conveniently sailing by the rented cruise ship equipped with all splendid luxuries).
The messy foodstuffs at ‘Amrapali’; bakery & cafeteria; seemed to be tempting restricted for the menu only; otherwise battling for bit extra & scrapping the menu at times would serve the purpose most of the times to fill the tummies. Presumably with the improving quality of messy stuffs, the last minute entering & gulping down timelessly; was indigestible with the vacant table & dozen full chairs around.

The ‘ fenced freedom’ had by all means; provoked a sense of being all alone & independent by & large with unusual vibes; while the action packed activities in the ‘three lettered word’; were ensuring to run behind time to meet up with scheduled lectures, sessions, seminars, assignments & projects compilations & viva voce etc. Having adjusted & adapted to such a ‘place’; where it had a fence & a freedom too; yet the other chapter revealed the other side of the same ‘place’ engulfed with ‘fenced freedom’.

Most of the times; some had to struggle & battle for catching up with mobile network & frequencies & most importantly wifi connections & also experimenting to unblock the settings for social networking sites etc. Untimely wandering the long stretched corridors & also the late evening music therapy at rajpath to glance at the stars; were beyond descriptions to revolve thoughts around on anything & everything. Even the vultures in the ‘fenced hell’ were hovering on the long stretched rajpath; just for pouncing on the ‘creatures from venus’.

Also the fireworks & crackers busted without any occasions or festive celebrations, especially at untimely frequencies & intervals were blasting the sound sleep (of security guards & others as well). Unusually this ‘place’ was witnessing & experiencing colorless holi & pollution & sound proof diwali again; so needless to think about other festive occasions filled in most of the calendar dates throughout the year. In the meanwhile, the CEO was just shuffled for some unknown reasons.
The exam fever was yet another tension filled occasion; which turned most of the rooms in to libraries; late night studies & last night hassle preparations, searching for cornered corridors for the sake of studies & pin drop silence.

At times, the touch resistant shocks & untimely beeps from water cooler would give bizarre signals & also solar water heaters boiling beyond 90 degrees would literally burnout the buckets & consume ample time to cool down the temperature. The so called haunted stories, screaming in the fullest volume in the dark when lights were flicked of, bizarre birthday celebrations at the very stroke of midnight.

The equation that could very well suite was the number of stays availed in the ‘fenced freedom’ were directly proportional to the number of night outs availed in the ‘fenced hell’. The golden midway was just camping at specific hangouts; which were blessed second homes. The struggle & daily exercise of conserving the resourceful water in less than an hour’s time, optimizing the units of electricity consumed by gadgets & devices such as induction, heater, electronic rods, toaster, speakers & woofers; & most importantly the ‘food’ to be gulped down for the sake of survival, were seamlessly the highly nutrient junk foodstuffs, midnight tea & breakfast etc.
Ironically, when the ‘fenced freedom’ used to be flooded with fellow colleagues; the library & reading hall seemed to be calm & composed with empty chairs & tables; & with the ‘haunted hell’; the same library & reading hall would be flooded most of the times with the same fellow colleagues.

The only soothing place for midnight studies was unexpectedly taken over & sealed by the laundry space, shifted in the corridors terrace. Interestingly, the other side of freedom was not so torturing; with the instinctive ideology of  at times changing the ‘rubber band’; was far much better than the option of loosening & stretching the same ‘rubber band’ in countless times & ways. Distressingly, the corridors were filled with smoke all around, with smoky injurious air hovering like black ash filled clouds & also crackers were bursting like blasts every alternate midnight. With the characters changed & shuffled upside down & destined with witnessing the events & incidences, in nostalgic sense.

Reliving the moments as if going back in the timeline; as if a ‘place’; which had closely witnessed the making of ‘odds & crowds’; leading to ‘king of loneliness’; & ‘confronting confessions’. On similar lines; feeling weak & exhausted from inside; would very well serve the purpose of being strong from outside!!..
With irregular intervals & spurring impulsive moments to breakdown the walls & iron bars; just to breathe a ray of light; whereby escaping the prison bars was far more easier than to bail out or simply file on a temporary custody or remand home or rehabilitation.

It was just like a white little mouse was merely urging & pleading a black fat cat until now; to rescue & safeguard from the conspiracies, trap & defend against the street rats; just to secure a piece of cheese & a ‘peaceful place’ as always. Fortunately or may be unfortunately & even intentionally or may be unintentionally; & with related or even unrelated permutations & combinations; the ‘hell down under place’ was simply haunted like hell….a ‘fenced hell’ for that ‘nadaan parindey’ in true sense.

Taking some kindda unidentified & anonymous risk to write this one, just for ‘being different from self’. Unaware & oblivious about the aftermath & repercussions of being different & addicted to words & living in the world of words.
Fire cracking the spurring thoughts & igniting the words, sentences & paragraphs; to blast & burst out this happening festive season, into yet again an articulate creation.

Moving back to compiling this one after a fairly long time; exploring & thinking over slicing the corner side of a stuffed & grilled pizza or simply measuring approx radius of oil free potato chips.
It all started while improvising & seamlessly working out on the status updates to revolve thoughts around. Bringing together & blending the courage & audacity, without seeking any sort of sympathy, empathy, favor or otherwise….

The silent saga which cropped behind the back & struggling to balance & overpower as well in the best possible manner at all possible times. It’s not that confessions need to be confessed; expressly or implicitly, either to the one standing in front of a mirror; or to the one who is unknown & is untraceable & beyond reach.

The dark secret is aptly connoted to be darker & brighter than the secret; a dark word, dark phrase, dark sentence, dark paragraph & even dark stories. Facing off the conspiracy & such ill fated hurdles & confronting the practicalities illusioned of self actualization at its peak, to think over & scrap out the unproductive & fruitless ways & giving a full stop to such incomplete sentences & realigning the paragraphs countless times.

Having opted the different track with a different perspective while walking by the road side with head sets tuned in fullest volume; blankly staring at the swiftly passing of the speeding wheels, observing the motion of crowded herds & simply glancing at the barking street dogs. Not just merely ‘thinking out of the box’, rather creating & building upon several countless boxes.

The events, incidences, occasions may have been darker than expected or even unexpected most of the times; need not necessarily & presumably sink down the brighter side & moments. The negative publicity & spotlight is something like fitting a black colored bulb in to the white textured room.

Perceiving the darker side, as been some kindda art or science or philosophy of researching & developing the case studies or thesis, at a stretch. Getting back into the hangover with words & drooling into the world of words; just to reshuffle & sensibly present & showcase the other side of that side which used to be in the spotlight of darkness & striving hard for freeing the ‘nadaan parindey’ from the fenced freedom!!...


PS: Sensibly it may seem to be insensible; but then, not every sensible stuff has to be perceived sensibly….

The ‘SmiLing Teeth’

Discretionary Disclaimer:

The characters, places, events depicted in this articulate creation are purely fictional which are based on non fictional ideas & incidences. Any factual resemblance & relation, if found, to any of such characters, places, events has to be purely coincidental & also unintentional.
Also several caricatures & cartoons, animated or otherwise depicted in this article are for representational purpose & does not bear any commercial or advertisement connection; nor any attempt of creating awareness or some ‘issued in public interest’ kindda stuff.

 So off lately, again having struck off with an unusual theme & track while counting & staring on to the teeth, without any special reason or occasion or even for the sake of revolving thoughts around to write something; so chewing, biting & churning the words, around thirty two times in countless ways, so as to digest & to create yet again another articulate creation.
Moving back simply to creatively carve out the words on the teeth & fill in the cavity gaps, coating the bleeding gums, glossing & piercing throughout. When it comes to teeth; brushing rigorously, rubbing, rather scrubbing with hell lot accessories of tooth pastes ranging from anti sensitive, anti oxidant, ingredients containing fluoride, anti calculus, anti plaque, whitening specialist etc; with toothbrushes designed to be firm, soft bristled & even extra-soft bristled long & short strokes, just to wipe out anything & everything & needless to point out the flavors of toothpaste; be it crystals, salt, mint, sugar free, chocolate & many such ice cream tastes. New addition to the shelf of accessories is concentrated liquid used as mouth rinse & wash; bubbling with luke warm to keep all day long fresh. Even the chocolates & chewing gum have been designed least to erode but to brighten up the teeth & reduce the chances of tooth decay.
Visiting a small saloon at a corner side, under a tree or be it a professionally run saloon (habib chachu); most of us intentionally expect rather strongly aspire to walk out of the saloon; as if the spotlight ought to be over the head & the crowded streets seems to take a glance at the new hairstyle (be it peculiarly different or spectacularly adorable & vivacious).
This one, unusually are the fictional & non fictional experiences of couple of hours at a dentist; a place where charges are billed on the volume & pitch of screams & the number of visits in a year are directly proportional to the number of patients awaiting for check up at a given point of time. The bizarre & instinctive err feeling after entering in to dentist; is something like stucking up in a roller coaster with echoing screams & turmoils in the stomach.
The ambience is barely dreadly enough to think about accidental breaking of teeth, sprouting blood all over a small cut, forcing onto the jaws & chin to open wide like a dinosaur. Having firmly taken seat on one of the mechanized chairs; just closing the eyes & playing by the words in the back of the mind & conscience…..
Keenly observing the business, emotions, feelings, sensitivity, ethical pressures & such impersonal parameters to be associated & interlinked with ‘teeth’. The very first glimpses of the commercials to be impressive & dashing by having a ‘Colgate Smile’; or simply uttering Cheese or Paneer while taking snap & until the right mood is captured with the ‘best & perfect smiling teeth’
Welcome to ‘The world of teeth’; undoubtedly the place of undiscovered  pearls; except for the medical terminologies & experiments, which are carried out as part of Hippocratic Oath; for sake of assignments, projects, inventions & specimen tests & researches etc.
So, having come across on to the different sizes, patterns, shades; be it fainted, bright, faded or hell lot colors at different points of time; when it comes to giving a killing instinct, wide opening of the windows & doorways, shyful or even aggressive smile. Teeth, as a sole factor has its own distinctive persona; which has innumerous senses such as sensitive itching, swelling, piercing, tittering teeth in fear, anger, frustration or simply depression.
Meanwhile, exercising long & short breathes & holding onto breathes; while synchronizing with the pumping devices & gadgets, perspiring through the senses……

The classic legends of the tooth fairy; sprouted thoughts of a fairy that gives a child gifts in exchange for a baby tooth that has fallen out. Children typically place the tooth under their pillow at night. The fairy is said to take the tooth from under the pillow & replace it with gift in kind once they have fallen asleep.
Technically ‘teeth’ of humans are small, calcified, hard, whitish structures found in the mouth. They function in mechanically breaking down items of food by cutting & crushing them in preparation for swallowing & digestion. The roots of teeth are embedded in the maxilla (upper jaw) or the mandible (lower jaw) & are covered by gums. Teeth are made of multiple tissues of varying density & hardness.

Teeth are among the most distinctive (& long-lasting) features of mammal species. Humans, like other mammals, are diphyodont, meaning that they develop two sets of teeth. The first set (also called the "baby", "milk", "primary", & "deciduous" set) normally starts to appear at about six months of age, although some babies are born with one or more visible teeth, known as neonatal teeth. Normal tooth eruption at about six months is known as ‘teething.
Deciduous teeth, otherwise known as baby teeth, are the first set of teeth in the growth development of humans & many other mammals. In some Asian countries they are referred to as ‘fall teeth’ as they will eventually fall out, while in almost all European languages they are called ‘milk teeth’.
They develop during the embryonic stage of development & erupt that is, they become visible in the mouth during infancy. They are usually lost & replaced by permanent teeth, but in the absence of permanent replacements, they can remain functional for many years.
 
Unlike most mammals, which grow baby teeth & then replace them with a single permanent set of adult teeth, elephants have cycles of tooth rotation throughout their entire lives. The tusks have milk precursors, which fall out quickly & the adult tusks are in place by one year of age, but the chewing teeth are replaced five or very rarely, six times in an elephant's lifetime.
A shark tooth is one of the numerous teeth of a shark. Sharks continually shed their teeth, & some Carcharhiniformes shed approximately 35,000 teeth in a lifetime. In some geological formations, shark's teeth are a common fossil; which can be analyzed for information on shark evolution & biology, especially because the teeth are often the only part of the shark to be fossilized, in fact fossil teeth comprise much of the fossil record of the Selachimorpha, extending back hundreds of millions of years.

The shape of sharks' teeth vary according to their diet; those species that feed on mollusks & crustaceans have dense flattened teeth for crushing, those that feed on fish have needle-like teeth for gripping, & those that feed on larger prey such as mammals have pointed lower teeth for gripping & triangular upper teeth with serrated edges for cutting. The teeth of plankton-feeders such as the basking shark are greatly reduced & non-functional.
Various cultures have conventional customs relating to the loss of deciduous teeth. These were most commonly associated with mice or other rodents on account of their sharp, everlasting teeth.
In Britain, lost teeth were commonly burnt to destroy them. This was partly for religious reasons connected with the ‘Last Judgment’ & partly for fear of what might happen if an animal got them.

A rhyme is also said as a blessing:
Old tooth, New tooth; Pray God send me a new tooth!!..

In India, as well, young children offer their discarded baby teeth to the sun, sometimes wrapped in a tiny rag of cotton turf. In southern India, children bury their teeth in the soil hoping for a newer one to grow. The Sri Lankan tradition is to throw the milk teeth onto the roof or a tree in the presence of a squirrel. The child then tells the squirrel to take the old tooth in return for a new one.
The Indian Medical Association (I.M.A.), the national organization of “Doctors of Modern Scientific System of Medicine”, was established in 1928, & currently IMA has around 1,78,000 members belonging to different branches of medical profession & functions through a network of more than 1700 local branches, located in different parts throughout India.
Tooth tradition present in the United States sometimes comes under different names. A Ratón Pérez appeared in the tale of the Vain Little Mouse. The Ratoncito Pérez was used by Colgate marketing in Venezuela & Spain. In Italy, the Tooth Fairy (Fatina) is also often replaced by a small mouse (topino). In France & in French-speaking Belgium, this character is called la petite souris ("The Little Mouse"). From parts of lowland Scotland comes a tradition similar to the fairy mouse: a white fairy rat that purchases the teeth with coins. In some places in Australia & Norway, the children put the tooth in a glass of water. In medieval Scandinavia there was a tradition, surviving to the present day in Iceland, of tannfé ('tooth-money'), a gift to a child when it cuts its first tooth.

Moving back to the technicalities, enamel is the hardest & most highly mineralized substance of the body. It is one of the four major tissues which make up the tooth, along with dentin, cementum, & dental pulp. It is normally visible & must be supported by underlying dentin. 96% of enamel consists of mineral, with water & organic material comprising the rest.
Suspecting for smoking habits, tobacco & other such deadly stuffs; is likely possible in case, yellow tarnished teeth have a peculiar bad odour. Tooth abnormalities may be categorized according to whether they have environmental or developmental causes. While environmental abnormalities may appear to have an obvious cause, there may not appear to be any known cause for some developmental abnormalities.
Environmental forces may affect teeth during development, destroy tooth structure after development, discolor teeth at any stage of development, or alter the course of tooth eruption. Developmental abnormalities most commonly affect the number, size, shape, & structure of teeth.
Tooth destruction after development from processes is considered a normal physiologic process but may become severe enough to become a pathologic condition & the study of dental trauma is called dental traumatology.

Attrition is the loss of tooth structure by mechanical forces from opposing teeth. Attrition initially affects the enamel &, if unchecked, may proceed to the underlying dentin.
Abrasion is the loss of tooth structure by mechanical forces from a foreign element. If this force begins at the cement enamel junction, then progression of tooth loss can be rapid since enamel is very thin in this region of the tooth. A common source of this type of tooth wear is excessive force when using a toothbrush.
Erosion is the loss of tooth structure due to chemical dissolution by acids not of bacterial origin. Signs of tooth destruction from erosion are a common characteristic in the mouths of people since vomiting results in exposure of the teeth to gastric acids. Another important source of erosive acids is from frequent sucking of lemon juice.
Abfraction is the loss of tooth structure from flexural forces. As teeth flex under pressure, the arrangement of teeth touching each other, known as occlusion, causes tension on one side of the tooth & compression on the other side of the tooth. This is believed to cause V-shaped depressions on the side under tension & C-shaped depressions on the side under compression. When tooth destruction occurs at the roots of teeth, the process is referred to as internal resorption, when caused by cells within the pulp, or external resorption, when caused by cells in the periodontal ligament.
Discoloration of teeth may result from bacteria stains, tobacco, tea, coffee, foods with an abundance of chlorophyll, restorative materials, & medications. Stains from bacteria may cause colors varying from green to black to orange. Green stains also result from foods with chlorophyll or excessive exposure to copper or nickel. Amalgam, a common dental restorative material, may turn adjacent areas of teeth black or gray. Long term use of chlorhexidine, a mouthwash may encourage extrinsic stain formation near the gingiva on teeth.
Systemic disorders also can cause tooth discoloration. Some medications, such as tetracycline antibiotics, may become incorporated into the structure of a tooth, causing intrinsic staining of the teeth.

Lastly in the bottom line, the broken teeth is very exhausted & seems to be dwindling after having digested more than couple of thousand words in a go. So, having brightened, exercised the ‘teeth’; over petty stuffs; be it the human baby teeth, tusks of giant elephant; shark tooth, etc. The very next time, you watch out into the mirror, you ought to stare at your very own ‘smiling teeth’ with an appealing & impressive smile!!....
