small problems

Sreekumari a dy manager was attached to Credit Audit Department. Credit Audit for a temporary long period was attached to DGM (Audit and Inspection). Credit Audit dept was in 3rd Floor and Inspection Department was in the 4th floor. Other than Sreekumari, the other officers are AGMs who are Inspecting Officials. So Sreekumari is the all in all of the department. Sreekumari is sincere. She is seen always running between 3rd and 4th floor. I was concerned only of the memorandum to be put up by credit audit department, to the Audit Committee. I was coordinating the Audit Committee and hence Sreekumari is also a friend of mine. The DGMs room at Head Office has a small glass window kept at about 5 ft on the door, so that one can peep through the glass and see if the DGM is inside or not. One day this Sreekumari came to me and asked whether DGM is inside or not.. I was just 5.1 or 5.2 ft tall. So i went and looked through the glass window and informed her that DGM is not there. She came to me and told me "See I am too small and hence i am troubling you". Height matters..

and i remembered

Years back. I think i was in 6th or 7th standard in St.Joseph's HS Trivandrum. I was one of front benchers . in our class front bench is for pigmies.. I fancied of joining NCC from 5th Std as my scouting for joining Scout failed because Scout master asked Rs.5/- for a Scout Camp which my parents refused. On hearing that my friends were joining NCC Airwing I also went and stood in the queue. There wasn't any restrictions as such. On reaching one's turn, a boy will select a blue shirt (the uniform was blue and blue and blue cap) and then he is admitted to the rolls. When it was my turn, the selector tried two or three shirts and none matched my shoulders.. and i was declared too short for Airwing. The Master patted me on my back and asked to come next year after growing a little more .. My face went white..( i now feel that Complan could have hit the market years before)

Small is not beautiful..

How i increased my height withou complan is another story.
