Ptosis
As per the topic given to me to write about the experience which had since childhood having Ptosis in one of my eye. Lemme state that I had Ptosis in my eye since birth and having Ptosis means having a different life. When I was born then after some months my parents when to some doctors then they said that it was because of cold. They said that I could have being having cold so due to cold the eye would not be opening normally. The doctors said that it will head after some time but it didn’t healed. So my parents didn’t had any kind of option what to do so they waited for some year so that i can gather knowledge because as a child taking any kind of risk is very dangerous.
As I remember when I was of 3 years den I was taken to Disha Eye hospital, Barrackpore. Where the doctor checked my vision and then they like a community of doctors had a meeting about my eyes and then one of the doctor come to my parents and said that operating the eye is taking risk as the eye can heal or the eye could be damaged forever then my parents did not took any kind of risk with my eye and then we came back and the matter was closed because nobody wanted to take any kind of risk and then I started my school life. As I was a student of kindergarten and junior classes I did not find any kind of difference or any kind of trouble having Ptosis. because as I was child nobody used to bully me about my eyes. But as I grew older than I gathered know ledge about everything because as a child no one can understand all kind of thing but as you grow older peoples stand understanding all the things.
When I was in 9th standard I again visited a doctor near by he did said the same thing and I came back as I was a student I was bullied from many of student in the school. I was like why all this things happened to me why am I different from all other children. I used to think that I am very ugly and nobody will like to be my friend and i do hated myself and I did not like my face and it happened many time that I did started crying and due to Ptosis i was not able to face any stranger as they will think something bad about me then also I did face any kind or every situation with all my courage I showed everyone that I was very happy but truly I was broken from inside. Because of Ptosis I underestimate myself and always stayed at home so that no one can bully me. My condition was like why I had this Ptosis I did not harmed anyone then why God put me in such situation and I can’t explain but I did cried everyday because of this.
Then I stood up and changed myself I was in class 9 when I change myself I became the badest guy anyone can meet in his/her entire life then no one had the guts to bully are in front of me but I know they bullied about my eyes on my back. I then thought that yes I do have Ptosis in one of my eye but do it make any difference??? I was like all other guys. I was good in studies and was good in everything then why I do think that i am not capable of doing things from that day I changed myself. yes I do cry but don`t shout it to anyone, I do show that it don`t matter that I am like them or I am having Ptosis.le to face any stranger as they will think something bad about me then also I did face any kind or every situation with all my courage I showed everyone that I was very happy but truly I was broken from inside. Because of Ptosis I underestimate myself and always stayed at home so that no one can bully me. My condition was like why I had this Ptosis I did not harmed anyone then why God put me in such situation and I can’t explain but I did cried everyday because of this.
Then when I was in class 11. It was around mid of the year ie- September when i again went to Disha eye hospital which is now in seoraphuli. I with my dad visited the doctor. Doctor had some checkup by which he cleared his doubts and then he concluded that i have Ptosis but excluding Ptosis i was suffering from squint which he said can be treated and after 6 months of squint surgery they will be doing my Ptosis surgery and i will be normal like any other guy. Hearing all this i was in the 7th sky i can’t explain how much happy i was at that time and i did agreed for undergoing the treatment i had my squint surgery and after 6 months of squint surgery when i went there for my next surgery of Ptosis i did went to the same doctor but he actually refused for doing so. I can’ say what i felt at that time, it was like someone pushed me from a building. I was literally scattered. I did not said a word and came back home quietly. I lost all my hopes and again started blaming myself that i could never look good what so every i do. Then I went to another Doctor after some months the name of clinic was something like Shankar Netralay there the Doctor said he can operate the eye and can make it about normal to the other eye but the way he explained about the surgery i got scared and refused for having surgery from him because I was somewhere sure that he will damage my eye, after that day i did started studying for my ISC.
After my ISC examination I joined an international BPO because I knew that I am having Ptosis and I cant get placed in any government job. so everyone know that now a days money is everything and I was worried that if I did not get a job then my future will be at stake. So as my ISC ended the day after my last exam, I started working because I cant depend on anyone for my whole life. I wanted success at any cost so I started working. I had Ptosis but I did not wanted to regret for it. It was like 8 months passed by when my elder brother said me about ‘Merchant Navy’ and he did everything for me. He did filled my form and applied in different colleges. I was like sure that I will not be selected in this too because I have Ptosis. But my elder brother said that there is nothing such that you are medically unfit. He said you are only having Ptosis which is medically a normal condition, ptosis is not declared as handicap so you are medically fit. And you just prepare for your examination which will be held by the college for the selection of student. I gave the examination in two colleges in which one was approved by government of India and the other was under AMSA ie registration under Australian shipping or something like that. said he can operate the eye and can make it about normal to the other eye but the way he explained about the surgery i got scared and refused for having surgery from him because I was somewhere sure that he will damage my eye, after that day i did started studying for my ISC.
I did cleared the examination in both the college and the government college asked me to bring all my documents including medical. I went to doctor for my medical. In which I was found medically fit when I went to the college the director of that Government College said me that I can never join merchant navy because I was having Ptosis he did insult me my elder brother fought on my behalf, he asked him how he can say me medically unfit and then we came back home. It was again a shock for me I was actually speechless. Then the other college ask for my document and medicals. I was sure that the same thing will happen again. Then also we went there, the director took my interview he saw the medicals and asked me if I can see from that eye or not when i said i can see from that eyes then he said you are medically fit for this job. I can`t say i was very happy. It took around 3 months for all examinations, Interview and medical. I am very thankful to my elder brother who didn`t thought of his job and stayed home and made me complete all the process. and because of him i got admission because he was standing on my back and did all the things. Because of this 3 months which he spend at home because of me he got punishment. As he in ITBPF he was suspended and got some more punishment. I proudly say he did everything for me.The day I got selected I believe that God do things for everyone betterment. At the present time everyone of my batch are studying in same colleges or the other but i am working under merchant navy. Yes I was bullied all the time but now everyone can see that they being medically fit can`t find the path out but me insted of having Ptosis is on my way for being a successful guy. But that was not enough God had many more gifts for me. As I completed my residential training in my college and I came back then my father asked me to make Ptosis crutches which one of doctors suggested me and when I went to Disha eye hospital for making that crutch they said they don`t make all those kinds of clutches. Then i started searching for Ptosis crutches like where it can be made then i found something which was totally unexpected. I saw the doctor who made all those was nearby.
I contacted the doctor and went to her it was like the another beautiful gift of God. Yes the person whom i am talking about is no one else but its you ma`am DR. Sumitra Agarwal. Ma`am are like truely a gift of God whom i met after several years.started working. I had Ptosis but I did not wanted to regret for it.

As I was saying i went to her and started my treatment I said her everything. She helped in overcoming all the things.
