Well, it has been a few months since I made an entry into this web magazine. My delay actually started in March this year and ever since I have been occupied with a number of things. One morning in late March I was about to drive off to work when I looked up and realised that I could not see. Yes my eyes were filling up with blood... you can imagine the scare I got.
Diabetic Retinopathy is what it is called. This is supposed to be the leading cause of blindness in adults.
Well, since then I have had laser surgery in both eyes to stop the bleeding. But all this time I have had to continue working. Unfortunately , diabetic retinopathy is a progressive condition and I have to deal with the prospect of blindness. This is not an easy task when you have a young family and still a lot of things to do for them. Ever since I was diagnosed as diabetic since the age of 18, I always knew that I will be facing diabetic complications.
Over the next few weeks I will be sharing my experiences relating to this condition. Interestingly it took me three days to see an an eye specialist to help me because my regular eye specialist was away on a conference. Thankfully the support of my wife and family have helped to keep me sane.

Dear Krish
Had no idea that you had such a scare! Am glad that the bleeding was stopped with the laser treatment. It would be very hard to run your design school and other businesses as a newly blind person. Though I think with your tenacity you would eventually manage it!
Best wishes
I'm so sorry to hear about this. What you described is also what I fear most for myself. Laser surgery is pretty helpful, though. Don't lose hope and keep fighting!

Asking questions are in fact good thing if you are not understanding something completely, however this paragraph presents nice understanding yet.
