Through the looking glass
PS : On the guest post front I have not received any replies. Maybe the readers are busy. But I am not going to really bug them I think, let them take their time!!!
There was a weird feelin on my nose when I wore it. People looked taller. The floor looked farther. If I saw through the corner of my eye then objects looked smaller. Girls looked less attractive. Of course I havent seen Her yet through it so no comments there. That was my first experience when I wore my new spectacles.
Of course I am going to write about something as mundane as my spectacles. But writing about such things is a lot tougher than writing philosophy. My spectacles has been a part of my life since the age of 11. So after realising that I havent changed it since the last four years I decided to get my eye checked up. Not a lot of change but then I looked at the various frames in display and decided maybe its time to replace the glasses that gave me a school boy look and go for something different.
As usual the optician suggested contact lenses. But I have this small fetish with my eye. I dont like things getting into it. I dont like to even watch people getting their finger near their eye. I dont like to watch people playing with their eyelids to make funny faces. So practically I am very sensitive with anything thats got to do with eyes. Its like Rachael in Friends.
So after explaining all this to the optician and convincing him that the contact lens option was a complete no, I settled down searching for a frame. At first I wanted a lens that looked exactly like my previous one, a curved, big, black one. But then for the first time I heard that curved ones are for the females!! Dont tell me what I have been wearing till now is a feminine one. Then after exploring lots of options and finally narrowing down my options to two, looking in the mirror and then realising how does it matter how do I look; anyway its always someone else who will judge how I will look in it, I only have to worry on how well I see through it; I decided on this one
