Yes, one of my colleagues recommended Zennioptical and I just placed an order with them for a rimless glass for about $30. If you have ordered eye glasses in any of the retail specialty stores, you should be freaking out with that $30 deal. Because, I paid $350 at Sears a couple of years ago! [...]

I am a self-reflective person; by that what I mean is, I look internally for answers as opposed to externally. This behavior doesn’t work well amongst some of my family and friends, naturally. Perhaps, it is due to my deep interests in both eastern and western philosophy. I have read many a books, spoken to [...]
