Our first rendezvous was back in 1990-91, when i was in class 1st !! And since then, we have been together in sun and rains, good times and bad times; ogled at all hot chicks together, and made faces at not-so-hot ones... But well, i have hated every moment of our togetherness!! Yeah you read it right! You know why? Because, YOU were responsible for my nicknames such as Chashmish, Chowkha and what not!! :D
Chashma is the hindi translation of spectacles, i guess all the nicknames evolved from there only.. If you remember, it was a tradition in the junior school - No person wearing a specs, was referred to by his/her name! It was always chashmish, battery, something something... but yeah, teachers always had a hesitation slapping chashmish people! "Nice to see, good to hold, if broken, consider as sold!!" :D
But finally, i have had enough, kicking ass the stupid old chashma and moving on to the lenses.. But ek baat to hai, all these lenses shit is a big headache. You gotta clean it, clean ur hands, clean your eyes, maybe clean the mirror with domex too!?? And then remove it in the evening, clean it, and same old blah blah cycle! Apna chashma was much better, put it on, throw it off, don't clean it for 15-20 days till you start seeing fog in the middle of summers :D And the best part, you can sleep with your specs on!! Sala sapne bhi saaf saaf dikhenge!:D (Well sleeping with the specs on is on the 2nd position on my list of 'reasons my specs broke"; first position is held by "Slapped by mom again!" ...phew!

arre ' a love letter to chashma' post.
even I got contacts recently, however apne janmo ke sathi chashme ko main discard nahi kar saki... contacts are meant only for ghumna firna purpose and chashme are the gharwala deal ...
sachii yaar chashmo se to sapne bhi clear clear nazar ate hai.
Specs are awesome :)
Sahiiii. Lenses rock, give you a complete makeover. But let me not give style tips here. :-P
I was bespectacled at the tender age of 13. And at that time I was so proud to be one, as it was symbol of being a geek, ur fellow classmates look at u with awe and admiration. Perched on my nose, my black rimmed spectacles, I just loved them. But then I grew up, I started hating my specs, my peripheral vision was getting compromised with specs. Plus me being typically me, the super clumsy one used to break specs every 2 months.. Moreover, guys don’t make pass at u if u r bespectacled *wink wink*. That’s when I decided to switch to lenses.
hehhee...
fun to read..
something to cheeer...
sahii agar bachpan me sach me thappar pare hote to janab ese na hote thore se to sudhre hue nazar ate.. :P :D
