Fidgety Space

As a kid I fancied spectacles, people wearing them amused me. Then there was a misconception that people wearing glasses are intellectuals, they have damaged their eyes by studying. I wished to be in that category but little did I know back then that I was being fooled. If I wear spects I will be termed as a genius. Even the parle-G kids “g=genius” used to wear those cute nerdy glasses sometimes. Once a dream , now a need. People using glasses are definitely talented, whether the two nerds winning the bournvita quiz competition or the singing sensation on the music competition (no idea how singing spoilt his/her eyes). Reading ‘My experiments with truth’ at the age of 9 never seemed like an achievement rather it created another misconception “Great men always wear spectacles.” Wait! I am not a great Gandhi fan just that my mom fooled me back then talking about freedom fighters,the Satyagraha moment and blah blah and made him a hero in my mind .. It was during my 10 th ICSE boards
