Rashmi's grandfather was old. Due to some reasons doctor suggested

him to go through an endoscopic tests. Grandfather had never gone
through any such test ever before. So, he was afraid. He thought that

was not ready for endoscopy. Everyone tried to let him understand and
convince him. But he got ready only when his granddaughter Rashmi
convinced him and explained that it is nothing but just a test in which
light wave is involved and possessing total internal reflection, which is
used to view and observe the internal parts of the body.
