Self Image

First - me in fancy dress at the konark function. I know, I havent posed particularly well, but i found it excruciatingly awkward asking someone to take a photo on acc of fancy togs- but here goes:


Next - I am currently measuring up the lowest on my weiging scales in the past 4+ years. But I simply dont find myself thin! The human mind is a funny thing, isnt it? I study myself in the mirror, but never find myself particularly thin- keep thinking of myself as tending towards slim, but not thin.

Or in school- for a long time I was on of the shortest at home as well as at school- in assembly, I used to stand at the third or fourth position until I was about 14 (think: Ascending order of height - how i hated it!). All the more galling, coming as I did, from a family where everyone was well above the average height for their sex. A sudden (and very strong) growth spurt put me at third or fourth from the end by the time I was fifteen - but it took me years to think of myself as NOT SHORT. Even after I started MBA I would be taken aback by people giving oblique compliments - "With your height, why do you need heeled shoes?". I THINK it was a compliment- not too sure, though. Height is not the only reason for a girl to wear heeled shoes, is it?
