Toothless And Shameless OPG, or Orthopantogram My father lost all his teeth by the time he was 55. My dentist had warned I was going the same way, due to a bad case of root caries. Over the last few years, he was able to stabilise many of the teeth in my upper jaw, but a wide-angled OPG (orthopantogram) showed that only two teeth in the lower jaw could be salvaged.
For nature's inequities to the body, the painful loss of what belongs to me, my being, is so traumatic. Your mother and father (my aunt and uncle) stand out as exemplars of courage who faced similar losses bravely, never showing for a moment on their countenance
You too, Mohit are brave not just with the anguish of your loss but writing courageously about it today,
The orthodontist will make amends with the cost imposed by nature, meanwhile nothing can detract your profound intellect, spirit of adventure, multifarious interests from flourishing the way it’s been.
Gosh! A world where one has to say stuff such as: "...the consular processes of the white world have the lowest regard for the blue passport of the brown Indian." is a sad world. Wish the likes of Dr S. Jaishankar read this...he's been tom-tomming about India's growing influence like crazy - for him this would a reality check!
Big Mo ! As usual you express so beautifully in your words and emotions. The Universe has its own ways, let this phase pass too.
A brave wise man,

Look forward to a post on your next adventure!
Tooth full or toothless is inevitable. The joys and trauma are both in our minds. You describe all phenomenas nicely. Thanks.
