A new pair

This dialog would seem like directly from the recently released Fan movie:
"Not many people would understand, for them it is just another object. For me, it is my world!"

And this is what exactly happened - got a new pair of glasses and it changed my world. How:
- When the world starts looking different (People in love have claimed this as well but this is seeing world in a new light, literally).
- When the numerals on the vehicles, on the hoardings, on the bumper stickers jump out and start doing the cosmic dance (a la Ramanujan).
- When the gloss on cars start looking glossier, when turquoise starts showing its true color.
- When the sunshine reflecting off the blades of grass and leaves start looking lively and filmy.
- When you can differentiate orange, the fruit from orange, the color (or are they same?!)

You know you have a new world!
Not many people have this privilege of getting a new pair of eyes every few years and see the world and its colors refreshed and repainted. And then while I was enjoying my new world, philosophy kicked in - The world was always the same and it never changed, the only thing that changed was me and my perspective. So if you want to perceive the world differently change yourself since that is the only thing that is under your control!

And as is my wont, let's make this little gross - you can never grow a new pair but you can always revitalize them ;)
