The Art of Wearing Glasses
Different types of glasses are perceived in opposite ways. The lenses that people have to wear to correct their eyesight are not seen as very popular in today's society. Even though more than fifty percent of people need some sort of correctional lens to bring their eyesight to 20/20, most people will do anything to avoid wearing glasses. Even though the "four eyes" taunt is no longer as prevalent as it used to be, the kids who do not have glasses tend to tease those that do have them regardless. It is hard to be different especially at a very young age.
Many people remember these experiences when they get older and even though glasses are much more widely accepted, these individuals will still do anything they can to avoid wearing them. When soft contact lenses were available for general consumer use in 1971, they became very popular. People no longer had to stick out for having bad vision, they could look like everyone else and not sacrifice their eyesight at the same time! Contact lenses have continually improved in quality and as a result, most people own both a pair of glasses and contacts and wear their contacts whenever they can.
The second type of glasses, sunglasses, has the complete opposite effect of regular glasses. Sunglasses are not only great for sun protection no matter what quality eyesight you have, they are also an important fashion accessory. Many movie stars and sports celebrities wear eye-catching shades that help them hide their image as well as define it. Whether it's Vogue or Oakley sunglasses, are extremely important to keep your eyes shielded from the dangerous UV rays that can do significant damage to your cornea. Whether you are sunbathing at the beach or driving to work, you should always be sporting some high quality shades.
Unlike prescription glasses, sunglasses are considered extremely fashionable. Just as a particular brand is popular that year for shoes and another is popular for jeans, different brands are in the running for that year's most sought after sunglasses. Make a fashion statement when you walk out wearing a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses or the latest design shades from D&G. Either way, sunglasses are a must-have item no matter what season it is!
Prescription glasses wearers can even enjoyed stylish sunglasses even if they do not want to switch over to contact lenses. Many companies have developed prescription sunglasses so you can enjoy great looking sunglasses without giving up your vision!

Maruti Suzuki A-star- Born to Rule the Road
Maruti has launched its new car model ‘A Star’ on the 19th November in India. The car combines eye-catching style and easy mobility with high fuel efficiency. It is compact and downsized by providing ample interior roominess and comfort. The Maruti A- Star car has a hatchback model that is designed keeping the demands of global markets in mind.
Maruti A-Star is the fifth global strategic model from Maruti Suzuki. Maruti A Star will be manufactured simultaneously in various other countries under the name of Alto and Celerio in Europe and other countries. The Maruti A- Star will come at a price of Rs 3.85 lakh and will be available in three different variants – Lxi, Vxi, and Zxi. The Maruti A-Star has a 3-cylinder, 12 valve MPFI unit that generates 67 PS of peak power at 6200rpm and 90Nm of torque at 3500rpm.
A-Star car dimensions are strikingly similar to its rival Hyundai i10. Interestingly, both the cars will compete in the same segment with fuel efficient engines. Just the first glace on the car design will remind the buyers’ of the Hyundai’s i10. If on one hand, Hyundai i10 prominent features, including the low slung grille, the prominent strip that houses the number plate and the flame shaped headlamps that extends from bonnet to the bumper, has become familiar to the buyers; on the other hand; a vertical A-pillar, a bulged out appearance and inverted C-pillar are the trademark of the A-star.
The A-star is roomier and its large glass house at the rear allows more light to come in.
It has new K- series engines for its gasoline driven cars which ensures low friction and plentiful flat torque delivery at low and mid-range speeds which ensures good drivability.
The car’s 2360 mm wheelbase is similar to the Maruti Alto.
Since, the model of Maruti A-Star was showcased at the Delhi Auto Expo earlier this year, it made its presence felt with its impressive styling. It reflects the technological prowess of the designers and invites the envying attention from the customers.
The high selling point of the Maruti A-Star - its K-engine is placed- under the hood of Maruti. This new 1.0L, 3 cylinder unit develops a maximum power output of 48kW (65hp) powers the A-star. This 1.0L enables the car to run longer distance in just 1 liter. The car’s engine has a five speed transmission. This four-cylinder 16-valve K-engine is capable of producing a maximum power of 63kW (86hp). The power of the A-star will empower the upcoming models, splash and the swift.
