is being short heighted a curse????? (Page 2)

excellent !! 

To add to that in terms of love and marriage,  well, always remember jaya-amitabh
Height doesn't stop SENSIBLE people from respecting & / loving you.  Who cares what others think?
I can list a few advantages of being short - Trevlling for example-  sitting comfortably in smaller cars, stretched legs in a comfortable long journeys in aeroplanes without the isle seat.. .. not hitting your head ever on the luggage compartment

wow im so glad dat so many other ppl think the same way i do abt dis topic

 Well Said QT... AB's song comes to mind.. 

"Jiski Biwi choti , uska bhi bada naam hai, godi mein bethalo bache ka kya kaam hai"  

 I have heard that  when AB came to Mumbai looking for work in the 60's he was rejected because of his height... Too tall.. and he was rejected as a radio announcer...too because of his voice!!! Imagine his baritone voice can make anyone weak in their knees now...!!!!

 We all could do better with physical charactiristics (except Aishwarya) but look at the world ... full of happy successful ppl everywhere...despite the shortcomings...

When I read Title of this Topic all I can think of is this by Randy Newman Enjoy!!!!!!!!

Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live

They got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
'Round here

Short People are just the same
As you and I
(A Fool Such As I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's A Wonderful World)

Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
That stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That got beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time
Well, I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
'Round here

Petsy that was cool.........  if you arent 6' you are kinda... whatever... I feel short people need to be small too so that they give their body a chance to be in proportion... its like only as much can be fit in a small duffle bag...without crumpling everything inside....... but the bottom line remains that if your face shows honesty - how tall you are hardly matters... Until I read this poem I didnt know there are more liers amongst shorter people.....Who the heck is this Randy Newmann..anyways.

Qwert man Just for you  . And rest Zip . It is fun listening to this song. Pls click on "Short People"

Randy Newman, Singer / Composer



Born: 28 November 1943
Birthplace: New Orleans, Louisiana
Best Known As: Composer for the movie Toy Story
Randy Newman's pop songs of the 1970s earned him a reputation as a songwriter's songwriter, but he's famous to most audiences for his songs and scores for popular movies such as Toy Story (1995), Bug's Life (1998) and Monsters, Inc. (2001). Newman began writing songs at an early age, and in 1968 released his first album, Randy Newman Creates Something New Under the Sun. During the 1970s he released several albums that received critical praise and won over loyal fans, even if they didn't make Newman into rock star celebrity. He had a top 40 hit with "Sail Away" (1972), but it was his 1977 song "Short People," a controversial parody about bigotry, that became his biggest hit. Since the 1980s he has concentrated on writing film scores, including Ragtime (1981), The Natural (1984, starring Robert Redford), James and the Giant Peach (1996) and Toy Story 2 (1999).

Newman has been an Oscar-nominated composer more than a dozen times, beginning with 1981's Ragtime; his first Oscar win was for 2001's Monsters, Inc.... Newman's uncles, Alfred, Lionel and Emil Newman, were also film composers and conductors; Alfred Newman was the musical director for 20th Century Fox studios for many years... In 1970 singer/songwriter Harry Nilsson released an entire album of Newman songs, Nilsson Sings Newman... Three Dog Night's cover of Newman's "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)" was a number one hit in 1970.

I don't think at all tht being short is a curse. definitely not.
If they are talented enough, their talent will overshadow their deficiency in height.

Take for example the film industry..
Jaya Bacchan, Rani Mukherji, Waheeda Rehman, Rakhee Gulzar, Amisha Patel, Mahima choudhary, Aamir khan, Arshard warsi ...
these ppl are soooo talented and veryy successful. It hardly matters what their height is when we watch them. Riya Sen is short but she's still considered a supermodel. I guess if u hv the self-confidence and work hard enough, you can get whatever u want. really.

height hardly matters unless you want to participate in a paegant or be in the police/army academy etc..

damn right, you forgot mukri, keshto, manorama, jagdeep, ..they too were successful...
