~World's shortest woman~

» ~World's shortest woman~

A high-school student in central India has been recognised as the world's shortest woman by Guinness World Records as she turned 18.
Jyoti Amge, who is 62.8cm (24.7 inches) tall – shorter than the average two-year-old, said she hoped to earn a degree and make it in Bollywood.
Guinness representatives visiting from London measured her at a ceremony attended by about 30 relatives and friends in the town of Nagpur in Maharashtra state.
A teary-eyed Amge, dressed in one of her finest saris, called the honour an"extra birthday present"and said she felt grateful for being small, as it had brought her recognition. After receiving a plaque, she and her guests cut a birthday cake.
"I have put Nagpur on the world map. Now everyone will know where it is,"said Amge, who says she dreams of one day becoming a Bollywood film star as well as pursuing a university degree after she finishes high school this year.
"I want to be an actor,"she said.
She is 7cm (2.76 inches) shorter than the 22-year-old American Bridgette Jordan, who had held the title since September.
"Jyoti encourages us all to look beyond mere size and to just celebrate our differences,"the Guinness adjudicator Rob Molloy said.
This was not Amge's first Guinness record. Until Friday she was considered the world's shortest teenager, but in turning 18 qualified for the new title. She has grown less than 1cm (0.4 inch) in the past two years, Guinness said in a statement, and will grow no more due to a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia.
Her teenage title brought the chance for multiple Guinness-sponsored trips to Japan and Italy for tours and meetings with other record holders, she said.
The title of shortest woman in history continues to be held by Pauline Musters, who lived in the Netherlands from 1876 to 1895 and stood at 61cm (24 inches) tall.

A poor boy loved a rich girl.
One day the boy proposed her. Then the girl said, \"listen! your monthly salary is my daily hand expenses. Should I be involved with you? How could you thought that? I will never love you. So, forget me \'n get engaged with someone else of your level.\"

But somehow the boy could not forget her so easily.

10 years later.

One day they became face to face in a shopping center. The lady said, \"Hey! you! How are you? Now I\'m married. Do you know how much is my husband\'s salary? Rs. 2 lac per month! Can you imagine? \'n he is also very smart.\"

The guy\'s eyes got wet with tear by hearing those words.

After few minutes her husband came before the lady could say something to the guy, her husband started to say by seeing the guy.

\"Sir! You here? Meet my wife.\" Then he said to her wife, \"I\'m going to assist a project of sir, which is of Rs. 200 crore. \'n do u know a fact? Sir loved a girl but he didn\'t get her. That\'s why still he is unmarried. How much lucky the girl was. Isn\'t it? Now a days who can love like that way?\"
