Funny incidents-I

I was in kanpur for Inter iit sports meet last December(2009).
Whenever I travel to a new place, a few episodes always occur which stay etched in my mind even though they might be unimportant, most of them being related to my height.


Being part of a basketball team, you expect us to have tall players.
One such guy was 6"6 ,(lets call him 'A')
In a normal frame of reference, you would classify him as tall.
so here's what happened...
this guy 'A', enters a canteen in iit kanpur.
(both him and me where looked at by everybody as expected.)
the canteen-wala tells his assistant:
" arre bhai, ye itna lamba khamba kahaan se aa gaya?"
On seeing me enter the canteen later on, the assistant told-(Mr.B luckily managed to hear this to narrate this incident to me later on)
" ab dekhiye ji , iska bada bhai abhi aayega. yeh to sirf uske pair(leg) ke barabar hain!"


P.S- Mr. A is used to gathering a lot of attention wherever he goes...
but, in his own words, I seem to have stolen his thunder!
He's beginning to feel "woefully" short!

P.P.S- All you barely 6 footers out there, please stop calling yourself Tall!People will then run out of adjectives to describe me :D
