"Wanna glasses?" a young guy asked an aged villager, sitting in a group near a bonfire. The older one nodded. The guy squatted to show the glasses he was carrying on his hand. Villager picked up one, put it on the face and looked up and down, towards the farthest point and the close objects. Removed it and tried a new one offered by the moving shop. The black carry bag on the guy's shoulder contained the shopping items. The villager repeated the viewing of all things. Must have liked it so asked for its price. A good bargaining proved fruitful, of course for both.
A person buying a spectacles without consulting an optician! Is the villager looking COOL in his new purchase?
I would say he is looking cool, hi there and thanks for visiting my blog, the picture you liked of the flowers is a card a made for my step daughter, thanks for the compliment I just did add it to my blog yesterday, I think it is very interesting you are from India, I am looking forward to seeing more of your blog, have a nice day :o)
ReplyDeleteI don't suppose this is much different from people here who buy eyeglasses in the drug stores and choose by whichever magnification works for them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visits and comments on my photos. It was much appreciated!
he is definetely looking great...In india everythin works!
ReplyDeleteSuch a neat post and what a fine enterprise . I guess this method of looking at what glasses are OK for you is deemed acceptable, now that we realise that US drugstores actually do this kind of thing when people look for reading glasses.
ReplyDeleteI have seen the upmarket version of both the seller and the villager in a Mumbai Mall :-)....
He indeed is looking cool; and I was convinced a few days back that we don't need to consult an optician to get a suitable spectacle glass.

Hey nice one. :-) Put a smile on my face after reading it. He is looking wise with those spectacles, I must say.
ReplyDeletedifferent products find their own consumers, i think this old man knows what he wants so he buyed a new spectacles without consulting a optician! after all consulting optician is a better choice !
ReplyDeleteWell, things are cool only if they are done in the right manner.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an odd bit, buying glasses without consulting. Can prove darn harmful to eyesight..!!
He does look cool, lovely write up
ReplyDeleteI think he looks scholarly. This may sound funny but often glasses give people a wise look--this is just my opinion of course.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the previous post about the gecko. It may be a toy but it looks real. In this country we have an big insurance company (GEICO) that uses a 'talking gecko' for advertising.
