paddy's plight with height

Hello my dear friends,

After a long interval here I come.

Now, I think you can catch my point, absolutely right. This time my “sogak kadhai" dealing with heights.

NO! Not in any philosophical manner.

Now coming to the point, when I reached 11 years, my mom felt so proud and used to say to every one "Look at her. Now itself she looks tall, so by the time she becomes 16 years old, she would be very tall. Is it not? "Kakkaikkum than kunju pon kunju". But the fate was having some other plan. When I reached 16 years my height was 5 feet. That is all, after that it never increased even by an inch.

To make my mom’s words true, I tried all the exercises. Somebody gave the advice that skipping would do wonders. (Sabhita, please make a note of this) When I started doing it vigorously, there was a great improvement. Ask me in what way? Those neighbours who never used to talk to us, came in a group and in a very begging voice said "Sir , continuously for the past ten days we are hearing some awful noise, after sometime we came to now it comes from your house, why Sir? what is happening? Any trouble? So many questions! (Like cine actor Padmini I just wanted to sing "Eththanai kelvi, eppadi solven”)

So I dropped that idea, worked so hard but my height improved not an inch. At that time I decided firmly that I should marry a guy who is taller. At that time that thing appeared so important to me. Luckily my ambition was fulfilled. I got married to my DH who is 5' 11''. God is so great that my children also took their father’s trait in this regard. So to some extent I came out of that complex but when I stand amidst my family I look like a Lilliputian surrounded by Gullivers.

This feeling rose to a greater height (not my height) on the engagement day of my first son. In my DIL's family my DIL is the shortest. Her height is 5’8’’!!!!!!!!!
Now ladies imagine my position. So as far as possible I avoided standing near them.

Now comes the main part, when I was young (now also I am young at heart) I used a stool to take the things in the upper shelf. After that fracture (refer to my post ‘theory to look slim…’) and because of my weight I do not want to take any risk. So each time I would seek my DH’s or DIL's help.

Sometimes when he is busy watching T.V., my DH would grumble and one day in anger he shouted at me "Why don’t you keep the necessary things within your reach?" I politely answered him "In that case I have to keep everything on the floor". He gave a stern look but I avoided him.

Ladies now hear or read the most important part. On a day; I was cooking very fast since I had to go for the temple and my DILs were also busy. When I opened the chili powder bottle, it laughed at me with the emptiness. I did not call my DH since I was not in a mood to hear "SUPRA PADHAM" from him. So I tried to take the jar from upper shelf. Alas!!! God thought in another way!! In my attempt, the lid of the jar got opened and fell down with a jarring noise and there was a chili powder rain all over me!!!! Hearing me shout all came to the kitchen. I was standing there like "Ammanosamiyo" the whole body started burning. My two DS started laughing (Idukkan varungal naguga). My two DILS out of respect controlled their laughing. My loving DH, started shouting" Why can’t you call somebody? Do you think you are that much tall to take this? I became so sensitive. Without uttering a word with my DILS' help everything was cleared. But I felt so depressed without any reason.

After sometime, I was reciting my daily slokas; my grandson came to me and asked me to get a play thing that was kept in the almirah’s top shelf. Thank goodness! It was reachable to me. I took it and gave to him. At once he said "Good Patti, see you are so tall that is why you can take that. Though you are doing pooja, you got it for me. Nalla Patti! Thank you". His words suddenly did wonders in me.
Why am I bothering about this silly matter? Just by your noble gestures you can reach a greater height in other's heart. These thoughts poured into my mind. At that time my little angel (my grandson) appeared to me as “LORD KRISHNA IN VISWAROOPAM". With tears in my eyes I hugged him and showered him with kisses for teaching me a lesson. Without knowing what transformation he brought into me, the little kid was standing there with his shiny eyes and bewitching smile.

Dear ladies, by sharing this, I just want to attain some height in your thoughts and mind.

Thank you very much and bye!!!
With love
