5 tips for wearing mask with glasses

My fellow bespectacled people, I know I speak for all of us when I say this era of wearing masks all the time has been quite tedious on us. Cleaning up your glasses from time to time due to the fog has exasperated us. And not wearing a mask is clearly not an option. Of course, you can always wear your contact lenses if you’re up for it, but glasses are more comfortable for long hours.

So, how do you avoid getting your glasses fogged up when wearing a mask?

An N95 mask.

I noticed that using a double air valve mask from Metro Masks avoided fogging up my glasses. So the kind of mask you’re using is also likely to impact the fogging. For that matter, you can buy anti fog glasses these days, but if that is out of the option for now, go for N95 mask.

Adjust your glasses over the rim of the mask

When you put your glasses over the mask, it helps with the fogging of the mask. The KN95 masks are easier for this one.

Make your mask as fitting as possible

Adjust the mask in a fitting way in your face. It should not be loose. Tie a knot on both ends so as to make it tighter and more fitting on your face. This will allow less space for the air to escape from the top.

Adjust your glasses

Move your glasses a little bit forward on the bridge of your nose. It may make you look like a nerd but it will allow the air to circulate more and there is less chance of your glasses being fogged. To keep your glasses from falling off every time you bend, you can keep rubber bands on both ends of the glasses where they are placed on your ears.

Tape your mask

I saw this somewhere on social media a few days ago. You can tape your mask on place across your cheeks and over the bridge of your nose. Use adhesive or medical tape. But this is only okay for people who have to wear masks for long hours.

Rajamati

I think we’ve all heard the song of Rajamati growing up. It is so popular that many people in Nepal claim this is the only Newari song that they have heard. The song was written some 200 years back. The first few lines go like this, which I’m sure you must have heard of, unless you’ve been living under a rock: Rājamati kumati, jike wasā pirati Hāya bābā Rājamati-chā Rājamati mabila dhāsā Kāshi wane tela bubā Hayā biu Rājamati-chā. San dhāsā kuli kuli, mikhā dhāsā bālā bālā Sakumi yā mhyāy machā lā Khwā dhāsā tuyu khwā, khwālay niga tee du Tāhā Nani yā Rājamati-chā. It is said to be written by or rather from the perspective of a man who was infatuated and in awe of the beauty of Rajamati. He describes with great admiration: her hair, her eyes, her complexion and the little moles on her face. However it is unknown who the writer of this beautiful song is. The song rushed into popularity after it was played in England in 1850 when Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana vi...

Everyday Phases by my Mother part 2

I have been meaning to write this part 2, especially after Every Day Phrases by my Mother , the first part was liked by so many and also because, well, the phrases and the dialogues never end with my mother. I did tease her about writing a book or making a scrapbook about all her phrases, but we never got around to it. So here we are, after almost 4 years, apologies if the Nepal bhasa wordings are incorrect somewhere Ne tha ne masau Bhwauthau pwa This is basically saying, not being able to take advantage of the situation or not doing what you are supposed to do at the event. If you get invited somewhere that has food, you should eat there. Neu twanyu tha yu yethe, jui chwanyu kata pinyu yethe I have heard this one many times. In the society that we live in, impression and your social image matters a lot, especially when it comes to family prestige. So it does not matter what you do at home but once you step outside, there is this social obligation of dressing appropriately, behav...

The Oldest Kumari

Dhana Kumari Bajracharya resides amidst the hustle and bustle in Gabahal, Patan. She is a 70 year old woman, who you would think is much younger at age, if you look at her. Age seems to have done justice to this beautiful woman. What makes this wise old woman different than other wise old women in Patan? She is the oldest Kumari of Patan. Kumari, the living goddess is a tradition or a practice that has been around for many years and that has been celebrated widely in the Kathmandu Valley. The very first Kumari goes back to 17 th Century. The process to choose the Kumari is divine and a girl must go through several tests to get chosen as the Kumari. Dhana Kumari Bajracharya is the longest serving Kumari of Patan having been established as the Kumari from 2010 B.S to 2042 B.S. A whooping 32 years. Perhaps her case is the most rare that we might come across. A girl serves as a Kumari until she reaches puberty, or she has her first menstruation. After that, it is believed that th...
