20210430 : glasses

Im wearing my glasses for few days now... It has reduced the blur on tv and other things, especially with reading subtitles. Not much on the phone because of short sight... Even though all of you are kind enough not to say it to me loudly, i am sure many of you think "I told you so" and i should have worn it long back... I was on glasses all along before the stroke and I would have to be crazy to not know it'll help. The problem was I know how finicky I was in cleaning it and constantly adjusting its position on my nose bridge...

In every instance, when we have to deny them something, we tell them they are not old enough to do things, they can do it when they earn their own money, they can do as they please after they are adults, till then they have to listen.. I think it puts a subconscious craving to do things to feel grown up... I think we should be more creative and less practical in our responses, to feed their childhood imagination more and adulthood practicality less. So when do we stop feeding crazy stuff... I don't know. I feel at some stage they will automatically start rejecting these crazy ideas and start probing us for the real thing... That's when i think we know that they are ready for practical answers.. PS: For
