Yesterday I was reading the newspaper and came across a very interesting article in newspaper. In the article, they were talking about the different kind of face shapes and the shape of glasses best suited for each kind of face shape.

Frankly speaking, I smiled so much. Oh God- now one has to think about the shape of face and then also think about the shape of glasses one should wear. Apparently wearing round shaped glasses on a round face is a big blunder. Now I never thought like this. I have been wearing round glasses ever since I remember. In my days, glasses used to round only. But now there are so many shapes.

To top it, there are these funky coloured frames of spectacles. They are available in possibly every colour and you can match them with your dress also. Only God knows what world is coming to. What has happened to the plain, good, old glasses and frames?

I am still not able to decide what’s my face shape. On some days I feels that it is round while on others I feel that it is square. I think God was also confused about my face shape. My daughter wears rectangle shaped glasses and says that they look cool. They have a green frame.

I still remember my mom used to wear brown broad rimmed round glasses. She still wears them. She is my ideal. For my mom- glasses were very important. She used to wear them around her neck in a nice chain. When I think about my mom, I can’t leave out the glasses.

Specs and glasses have come a long way now and are a major accessory and industry. Well, it is kind of okay. If someone wants to see the world through his or her own desired shape of glasses, then it is good only. Shape of glasses don’t matter as long as the shape of world remains okay. It should not be distorted.

But one thing is for sure, I am not replacing my old specs for anything new nomatter how much my kids pester me to do so. I love my specs.

Let me take your leave now. Please take care. Bye.

The ‘common man’ was shocked beyond limits to see his mom wearing funky specs. They were blue in colour with rectangle glasses. She flaunted them with pride and described in great detail how they were a gift from her grandkids (common man’s children) to her. She still wore them around her neck on the nice chain. Now the common man looked at coloured frames and new glasses with renewed interest.
