HEIGHT MATTERS

I was on a vacation spanning almost a whole month. These are what I remember most about when I think back to the time:
1. My bruised knees on a night journey in a 'Night Super'.
2. The search for a vacant middle seat on the last row in the city buses in Guwahati. (I tend to get stuck if I try sitting on any of the other seats.)
3. My overhanging feet from the upper berth of the Indian Railways and the bumps that people received on their heads because of them.
4. Receiving a banging on top of my head in a minibus not once, not twice but thrice. That too on the same spot, and in full view of five beautiful girls. *sigh*
5. Bumping my head on the ceiling of two Maruti 800s. I still carry painful souvenirs of the same.
6. Instinctively bending my head while entering most of the homes I visited, in order to protect my head from another painful experience.
7. My inability to have a shower standing up at almost all the places I stayed
(not because of any physical ailment on my part, I assure you)
8. Realising the true extent of my height on seeing even my taller family members dwarfed (compared to me) in family photographs.
9. Being cast strange glances (and being most annoyed because of it) while being on a date with someone a foot shorter than me.
10. The above mentioned were for one way journey. Double them for the return journey!

PS. In case you still don't understand (and sympathise), make yourself grow tall and see for yourself!
