A Wonderful World, by Sankar Chatterjee

Lecturing in class, Prof. Roberts felt a sharp tooth ache. He called his dentist Dr. Hart. Soon, lying on doctor’s recliner he heard that dreaded word “root canal”, needed to be done immediately. But the reassuring doctor mentioned about the latest quick-acting anesthetic agent.

Prof. Roberts felt the pinch of the needle, soon entering into a blissful world. Rainbow colors were crashing against each other like the waves of an infinite ocean. Unbeknownst to him, the medicine detoured inside his brain arriving at pleasure region instead of pain point.

Later, he heard doctor’s voice: “OK, you can go home now.”
