Well, this post is about my take on the sunglasses. The title may suggest an elaborate description of sunglasses, but my knowledge of that is far less than wikipedia. I have heard of many types like aviator, wayfarer etc etc. Honestly I don't know a letter about any type or its characteristics or even its distinguishing features. My post is on how I feel when I put my shades on. I used to dislike using them before. But the sun and my mother have left no way out now. A few days back when I was walking towards my soon-to-be-college at about eleven in the morning, pros and cons of wearing shades emerged in my mind sequentially.
Disadvantages:
1. You cannot truly see the colour of the day. A bright sunny (synonymous to burning and pathetic) day seems either as soothing as sepia or cloudy and might make you apprehensive of storm if you're suddenly waking up from your traveler's nap in the vehicle you're inside (depending on the colour of your sunglasses; categorizing them on the basis of colour is much easier I guess). On taking your shades off, the dreamy sky would suddenly change into a terror staring you in your face.
2. You might feel that the taxi is not stopping for you as it is not able to see you. There, sometimes, is a blinding feeling that amateurs like me experience.
3. If you're traveling in a public vehicle, you'll surely feel like throwing it away at least twice; while getting into the bus/train/whatever and while getting down from it, when the people behind you will squeeze you into it or out of it and you won't even get enough time to take off and put the shades in your bag. As a result, you should always keep in mind your quarterly possibility of visiting the repair shop.
Thinking over and over it, I couldn't find another disadvantage. So, proceeding to the advantages:
1. Your eyes are saved from dust.
2. your eyes are saved from the sun.
3. your styes are saved from being noticed.
Now some really important ones, apart from those told by your parents or dermatologist.
4. You can dissect a boy/girl standing or sitting in front of you from head to toe, without being caught, in a sophisticated way, just by positioning your head properly.
5. You can simply turn your head towards the window of the bus and not notice the senior and somewhat limping citizen( coming in your field of vision) standing beside your seat.
6. You can ignore the conductor thrice during your journey (you get an extra edge if you have your earphones on) with the feeling that the bus belongs to your ancestors and conductors are basically begging for your fare instead of having the right to ask for it. But you will never make a mistake in counting the change you're given and will solve any discrepancy in your estimation of fare and his rendering of it immediately, almost in a lightning fast speed.
7. While walking you can stamp someone because of your utter carelessness, but all you need is a "sorry" with half-open lips. Your 6K sunglasses will do the rest.
8. You can easily give the "dirty" street children a dirtier look from behind it, esp when they mistakenly touch your Levis jeans.
The rest are purely feminine.
9. No need to worry if you forgot to or didn't have the time to put on your eye make-up. You will still look gorgeous.
10. You can almost cry (emphasizing on the word 'almost' as your flowing tears will require a hijaab to cover them) behind it, when your boyfriend says he is busy somewhere and cannot come to meet you.
The list is exhaustive, I admit. But if I spend one more hour on it, I'm sure to figure out a handful of other advantages too to add to my list. But these, for me, are sufficient to make my once-hated sunglasses a part of my daily-wear, henceforth.
