Confessions of a Shorty.

On crossing our teenages , we all tend to learn many things about the
world . Though i strongly believe that life itself is one big learning
experience. But the teenage , is like the first basic step of all
that learning. I mean mostly ppl tend to have their first drink during
their teenages , first kiss , first cigarette puff. And many other
first time experiences that i can't mention here. Frankly speaking i
haven't had any first time experience of any thing that i can't
mention here (so you can lower that eyebrow! ) .

At an emotional level also i've learnt many things. So yea this post
is about my experiences and about the general outlook that i've
developed about things around me.

Right ... So a rule from a book called 'human mentality' says - A man
is a handsome man , if he fulfills the 3 rules ...Tall...Dark ....and
handsome(yea that's the fourth rule! Now forget it and keep reading!)

So yea , when God was 'manufacturing' me , he was busy head banging to
some Green Day song. Maybe that's why i was not 'made' to obey those 3
rules.

So not being the ideal male homosapien means double the learning
experiences. It means having a twisted view of the things around you.

As i told you before while i was being , manufactured , God was busy
listenin to punk rock . Since he was so engrossed while listenin to it
, he had his eyes closed. He gave me a face that has a permanent
smiling expression on it. He gave me cute face (which only guys find
cute!). And a short stature to match that cuteness. Then He pushed the
button to transform me into earth. Just after that, he immediately
opened his eyes and saw me going down . But it was too late , so all
he said was "May the magical musical genre of punk rock be with you ..
My son.."

And so here i am . I still know that God laughs alot watching me from
above. But i guess he has his hand on my head (yea i think the right
one!)

So Here are a few aspects of my life...


=So yea , when you're like me. You are not supposed to have any hair
on your face. Coz you're harmless looks are the only asset you have.
And having a beard or moustache does NOT go with your looks. So yea
there have been times when some of my guy friends have given me random
hugs , for no particular reason!! It has happened many times . And it
gets scary when suddenly you go to shake hands with a friend of yours
and he grabs you and gives you a hug! Bah! If only girls would do that
, i wouldn't have any problems about it !!


=We all get attention from the opposite sex. I mean , you do get
checked out by ppl. In my case i do get smiles and laughs. I used to
get fooled by them. And start checking out the mirror for hours and
hours. But then i realised those senseless smiles are for my harmless
looks. Yea that IS true. I've like proved it a thousand times. Its
like finding a cute lil puppy and giving it a rub..just coz its
harmless. So yea love or committments are totally outta the scenario
now.

= Garment stores are like miniature hells for ppl like me. I mean you
check out the clothes . Go to the trial room. And then you ask your
mates "How do i look?". And those really horrible expressions come
your way. They say "its good...JUST a bit big". And then you don't
want to go to that kids section again. I mean wtf .. You want me to
wear a shirt with a freakin mickey mouse on it! Bah! You just call up
your dad and tell him ... God bless america , they still manufacture
clothes in 'S' sizes.


= Every now and then you've got these social gatherings coming up .
Where you gotta give plastic smiles to ppl you hardly know. Suddenly
this aunty asks you "beta , what class are you in?". And you search
for that revolver in your pocket. But end it all with an answer
"aunty, am in college..". Aunty hides that shocking expression with a
big fake smile.

= You start putting up pics on facebook that only show the upper part
of your body. But then you start get friend requests from unknown guys
!! Bah!!

= No matter how good looking your tall neighbour is..You still like
that short specy girl living in that corner house.


= A girl taller that 5ft 4inches is a strict "No". So in case you keep
thinking about her , you wake up , slap yourself twice and go to sleep
again!!


= These women folk have a problem of screaming out whatever they say!
So when you're sitting with a bunch of your friends , this girl looks
at you and announces "Aww isn't he cute!!"..and am like "am i a
freakin Koala bear.".If you find me cute why don't you say it directly
? Instead of making a big fuss outta it!


*When you're mom calls you 'beta' . She literally means it !


*Sometimes you listen to love songs and close your eyes and start
humming and dancing to it (as if the actress will come outta the
track, directly in your arms!).But you accidently come infront of the
mirror and stop that song right away!


So yea , actually i can go on and on. Being a shorty is not kids play!
Ask Mr. Aamir khan , Mr. Sachin Tendulkar , Mr. Kailash kher or even
Mr. Rajpal yadav!

No matter how weird we feel at the end of the day. But we're really
really loved! :-)


Good things surely come go small packages!!


So yea shortys rock!!! \m/

*Now you better stop laughing , and leave a comment!! *

Aha! Another awesome post which I can totally relate to.. :P

From the begining.. those teenage experiences (yeah, I was lucky or experimental enough to have had most of 'em :P) to people asking "What school do you go to?", I know how it feels.

Seriously, are you like my "bichda hua twin" or summin? :P
So many similar things. Weird.

Personally I would prefer goin out with a normal, average guy than that tall-dark-handsome kinds. That is just not my type! :D I wouldn't wanna walk around with a hefty, giant, dark creature you know! :P

And I know for a fact that there are a million other girls who think like me (trust me on that :D)...

So you need not stop those love songs... Just keep dancing to 'em until your girl comes your way. :)

Peace! :D ;)

ms.parker said...

and i totally agree with sanjana above.. about girls not really wanting tall dark and handsome(and boring) guys. that concept is just SO outdated.

beauty is only skin deep, brother ;)

(k)

Sanjana said...

HAHA.
Do you have any idea how funny that was?
OMG i am still laughing and i love the way u wrote it. <3
And just so you know,The cute-lovable guy is the one a girl will hold onto the handsome or the 'haawt' guys are just like scenery we pass by them,we admire them and then,we forget.
But a guy with a golden heart is well he's just rare and u must be glad UR one!!!
:)))
And Mr.shorty i hope you keep writing like this...that was funny,adorable(yes,i am talking about your writing) and refreshing!!

now i don't really mind being 5ft only :D awesome post...

Kedar said...

I just came on your blog from your twitter profile. (You know me: @kedar9)
Awesome post man!
I can totally understand how you feel. For one sec.., i was like... that's me!
Even i have a very cute innocent face. I have done my grad. Some people do get shocked when they come to know that. Since childhood, i have innumerably heard "Lagta nahi hai.." lol..
I used to be short till my first year. Fortunately, i gained good height then. Today I stand 5 ft 8.5".
But, i totally understand hw yu feel to be short as i have spent most of my life being one.
Although, i haven't gained enough weight yet.
Speaking bout gals, sometimes i enjoy being called "sweet". Chalo, issi bahane tareef toh kar di.
I at times get very depressed for being skinny "chota dikhne wala" banda especially when i see those typical cool perfect hunks having that "handsome" face. But, i must appreciate the way you take it so casually. You are a rockstar dude...
Good going yaar..!
Keep rocking!

lifeiscool said...

Celebrating yourself the way you r is d key to a fulfilling life. Loved this post. I envy ur writing.
It is a better asset than looks. Wish i would have met u in college.

Gud work, Keep it up

Pooja said...

Its not short punky..its called being "vertically challenged" sounds way too cool :P

So what if we are short..at least kabhi sar toh jhukana nahi padta na..sar utha ke jeete hai! :)

like that ad..na sar jhuka hai kabhi aur na jhukaenge kabhi :P

awesome write up!! =D

Wel wel wel that was a tribute to all the short people in the world :)...n being in the category, i can tell u i hate the word "CUTE"...it is sooooooo irritating and all the time i hear that word a small voice in my head says “ya…what a polite way to say I m short”. I wish I could erase it completely from the dictionary!!!

I liked this post the most so far- May b coz I can correlate with it :)
