Was almost the same when I had the surgery in India 5 years back , at least 5 visits to the clinic before the surgery.

Nostalgia!!

Did LASIK about 5 years back. This post makes me feel bad about not maintaining a journal of the process.

Was very sensitive to light for the first day, couldn't bring myself to open my eyes(Middle Of summer in INDIA!! ). But the next morning, where i could see every small detail without the spectacles(Which I hated) was awesome.

A bit of advise if you had done the surgery recently, is that give your eyes a bit of time to heal and stay away from TV, Computers for at least a fortnight... Not absolutely necessary, But you know...

Ask HN: Is Quora's Semi-closed model working

from the ask-hn dept.

I know its been a long time since they made this change. But opening Quora at work(where Facebook/Twitter is banned for obvious reasons) is plain irritating to say the least.Is their "login to read the answers" model working out for them. I am not really sure what do they gain from restricting users, any pointers?

Its not just my employer. All the biggies in India have changed their policy at nearly the same time.
Re:Ask HN: Indian IT companies have raised notice periods to 3 months.... on Thursday September 06, 2012 @05:26AM (#4483443)
The Increase in Notice period was coupled with an compensation review given a few months back. They Informed us that they were changing the policy, No signatures at that time.. But I guess the documents signed during joining the company would contain clauses to justify the interim policy changes.
