All is not lost.. Or is it?

Dr. Bhagat who is an eminent doctor of  Hand Surgery India says- “I had been associated with a well-known private aesthetic clinic, where young girls without any kind of flaws would come in for cosmetic surgeries. The peer pressure and that of the society made them myopic.  It is a sorry state and I  hold today’s generation responsible. For it” We agree and unless you have a justifiable reason such as any kind of defect, anomaly, injury or disease which necessitates it, stay away from it.
