All for spectacles

I was the “ugly betty” of my class. Light brown, plastic-rimmed, thickest Gandhi lenses.

I would leave them for the last. And forget wearing them. Intentionally, ofcourse!

My sister, ever-the-punctual, would not wait for me to run back home.

Since I would not be wearing my set-of-eyes, my class-teacher would genially allow me to swap seats. And I loved front-rows.

But parents are witty enough. Been there, done it all kinda witty.

They got a glasses-holder string and down it went my neck along with the school-tie.

Problem solved.

And, specs? Oh well, am at home with them. And heart.
