Although you had to wait for whatever glasses your dad fetched you from abroad, I'm glad you didn't have to go through what poor Janice had to go through. :) 8)

So much so that when my father went abroad I asked him to get a frame (any frame!!!!!) and wore this: OK, it didn't suit me very much, it didn't even fit properly, but at least I had a pair of glasses that didn't want you to stamp on the sight of them...

I remember a friend of mine in 3rd grade got Peter Max glasses. They had wire rims and each part was a different bright color; one rim yellow, one green, one bow red, the other blue, the part between the nose, white, very hip. But yes mostly they were the glasses that poor Jasbir had to wear. I also remember active boys wearing those Jasbir black glasses with black elastic straps to hold them to their heads. It's great that Janice had such a wide assortment of hip glasses to chose from later on in life. I believe they were one small bonus in her sad drugged out existence. Thank goodness I didn't require glasses until high school and never were they seen on in a photo. Yes Memsaab, true. I remember a friend of mine in 3rd grade got Peter Max glasses.

I myself did, and I can tell you with absolute authority that your choices were ugly, uglier, and ugliest. If anyone can find a photo of anyone under the age of 20 (and possibly anyone, period) with nice eyeglasses in that era, I would pay money to see it :-) Heavy, dark rims were pretty much de rigueur.

I think I have an unfortunate school picture where I'm wearing them :( . Yet now they suddenly seem cool if both Mumtaz AND Zeenat wore them. I like how Janice's were doubled, nice touch. I've only seen Dev so far in this movie and "Guide" and "Jewel Thief." I'll for sure see "Swami Dada" now too on your recommendation. I loved his butterfly collars in Hare Rama.
