"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!". The entire room swam in front of my eyes. I felt dizzy and nauseous. I screamed, I yelled; I was in pain.

And it happened again.

"CCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!"

I heard a scamper, the swish of curtains and then Lakshmi was next to me.

"Its ok. Be calm. It's gonna be alright", she kept assuring.

"NNNOOOOOOOO........." It was hurting bad. I tried to think of everything pleasant or distractible - sunrise, twilight skies, puppies, rains, Abhishek Bachan, John Abraham, and for some strange reason VJ's sentimental dialogues while watching Kal Ho Na Ho....

I gulped my urge to yell and frantically fluttered my hands trying to hold tight on to something. My eyes were profusely watering, and hurting too.

"Babes. I can't take this anymore. Make this stop! I don't want this to happen. It's a torture! Why do girls have to put up with this?", I kept talking to forget the pain.

"It's almost over", she consoled me, "here, take my hand".

I was trying to grab her hand.... the next jolt of pain hit me.... I snatched her arm making bloody scratch marks all over her fingers. She winced, I knew that I hurt her bad, but I couldn't care about it.

After about 30 minutes, I knew that it was over for good. The lady who was attending me straightened up with a big sigh of freedom.A look of relief replaced her morose look

"Doesn't she look cute?", Lakshmi asked the lady.

"Yes, she does", the lady replied.

Nope! I was not delivering a baby. Just getting my eyebrows done!
