RajMy life is becoming a little boring n mundane these days. Nothing interesting happens ever.
So I thought of writing about an interesting incident that happened in the past.
This happened when I was coming back from Lucknow to Bangalore. I happened to have the window seat next to the emergency exit on the flight. One of the airhostesses came to me and asked if I was okay with being seated there. I replied in affirmative. Then she started telling me about the procedure I’ll need to follow in case of an emergency and I listened carefully, hoping at the back of my mind that I don’t actually have to do it, but then she stopped all of a sudden and turned her face to look at me and asked me, “Are you over 16?” I was shocked, surprised, amused, appalled all at the same time and couldn’t control my smile when I told her that I was actually 23. She seemed to be a little taken aback by my reply cos she immediately replied, “Oh, but you don’t look that old.”
Now, I know I do look younger than most other people my age and can easily pass off as a 20-21 year old (in fact, some college students look far older than me) but 16 yrs old? That’s just ridiculous.
Lucky guy!
Looking younger than u r is always a good thing!
like i keep tellin u raj u look like a 20 yr old and act like a precocious 3yr old.But smtimes u really surprise with things u say and then i realize that mayb u r more mature than i giv u credit for!!
people always think that my sister and i are somewhere between 16-18. which totally sucks.
we’re 24!
i hope when people see me with a baby they dont think i’m 16. that would REALLY suck.
@vinaya: Yes, that I am.
@lucio: Not really, sometimes people don’t take you seriously bcos u look too young.
@akanksha: As John Mayer sings, “I’m bigger than my body gives me credit for.”
@beckyl: I hope that doesn’t happen either. That would totally suck.
Better to be though younger than older. Was carded once at a casino (they thought I was under 18). Of course that was in my younger days
